The ASIC business has always been a key enabler of the semiconductor industry but it is a difficult business. In my 40 years I have seen many ASIC companies come and go but I have never seen one like Alchip.
Alchip Technologies Ltd. was founded more than 20 years ago, about half way through my career. I know one of the founders, a fiercely… Read More
It is a well-known fact that chiplets provide several advantages over traditional monolithic chips. Despite these benefits, the transition to a chiplet-based design paradigm presents challenges that need coordinated efforts across the industry. In essence, collaborative efforts among various players involved are not … Read More
AI explosion is clearly driving semi-industry since 2020. AI processing, based on GPU, need to be as powerful as possible, but a system will reach optimum only if it can rely on top interconnects. The various sub-system parts (memory, processor, co-processor, network) need to be connected with interface links with ever more bandwidth… Read More

Twenty years ago, Blue Pearl showcased its first-generation ASIC and FPGA static verification solution at the 2004 Design Automation Conference. If you are attending DAC 2024, stop by booth 1439 and see how 20 years of product development on the Visual Verification Suite has made chip design much more efficient.
The Visual Verification… Read More
Dieter Therssen obtained his master’s degree in Electronics Engineering from KU Leuven in 1987. He started his career as a hardware design engineer, using IMEC’s visionary tools and design methodologies in the early days of silicon integration.
Since then, Dieter developed his career across many digital technologies,… Read More
Larry has grown Sarcina from designing semiconductor packages for a few small companies, to doing package designs for top semiconductor companies around the world. From 2014 to 2018, Larry led the expansion of Sarcina beyond package design into final test and wafer sort hardware and software development.
Larry is a semiconductor… Read More
This is our third year working with Sondrel and it has been a great experience. I have always been fascinated with the ASIC business and put a full chapter about it in our first book “Fabless: The Transformation of the Semiconductor industry.” Companies like Sondrel enabled our move to the fabless model and now they … Read More
Jean-Marie Brunet is Vice President and General Manager of Siemens Hardware-Assisted Verification. He and I spoke recently about how different his hardware group is from the rest of the software-centric EDA product space and why a hardware-oriented EDA vendor like Siemens fully understands the challenges of the chip design… Read More
