Podcast EP302: How MathWorks Tools Are Used in Semiconductor and IP Design with Cristian Macario
Dan is joined by Cristian Macario, senior technical professional at MathWorks, where he leads global strategy for the semiconductor segment. With a background in electronics engineering and over 15 years of experience spanning semiconductor design, verification, and strategic marketing, Cristian bridges engineering and business to help customers innovate using MathWorks tools.
Dan explores how the popular MathWorks portfolio of tools such as Simulink are used in semiconductor and IP design with Cristian, who describes how these tools are used across the complete design process from architecture, to pre-silicon, to post-silicon. Cristian explains several use cases for MathWorks tools in applications such as AI/Datacenter design and the integration of analog/digital design with real-world data.
MathWorks can help develop architectural strategies to optimize analog and mixed signal designs for demanding applications. The early architectural models developed using MathWorks tools can be refined as the design progresses and those models can be used in later phases of design validation to ensure the final silicon implementation follows the original architectural specifications. Cristian also describes use models where semiconductor and IP providers use MathWorks models as executable specifications for products to ensure effective and optimal use of these products
