Join us for a free, half-day workshop on the key concepts of an ASIC design physical implementation flow using OpenROAD. OpenROAD delivers a fast, barrier-free, and low-cost RTL-to-GDS, no-human-in-loop flow for design above 12nm and is one of the tools students can work with in UCSC Silicon Valley Extension VLSI Engineering… Read More
Join our upcoming webinar on JESD204 and get insights into what we predict the upcoming JESD204D standard will contain, based on many years of experience working with JESD204.
Our expert speaker, Piotr Koziuk, has over a decade of experience with JESD204 standards and is a member of the JEDEC Standardization Committee. He will… Read More
Colin Alexander ( Director of product marketing at Achronix) released a webinar recently on this topic. At only 20 minutes the webinar is an easy watch and a useful update on data traffic and implementation options. Downloads are still dominated by video (over 50% for Facebook) which now depends heavily on caching at or close to … Read More
Successful ASIC providers offer top-notch infrastructure and methodologies that can accommodate varied demands from a multitude of customers. Such ASIC providers also need access to best-in-class IP portfolio, advanced packaging and test capabilities, and heterogeneous chiplet integration capability among other things.… Read More
Join us on Thursday, November 3rd to learn how Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Fermilab, and Brookhaven National Laboratory collaborated and designed a custom ASIC chip to run at extremely cold temperatures, so that it can detect neutrinos!
Here’s what you can learn:
Way back in the early 2000s when XAUI was falling short on link flexibility a search for an alternative chip-to-chip data transfer interface with SPI like features lead Cisco Systems and Cortina System to put forward the proposal for the Interlaken standard. The new standard married the best of XAUI’s serialized data and SPI’s … Read More
Application Specific Integrated Circuits were the foundation of the semiconductor industry up until the IDMs came to power in the 1980s and 90s. Computer companies all had their own fabs, I worked in one, until start up companies like SUN Microsystems started using off the shelf chips from Motorola. SUN moved to the fabless model… Read More
Given the recent acquisitions the ASIC business is coming full circle as a critical part of the fabless semiconductor ecosystem. The most recent one being the SEMIFIVE acquisition of IP industry stalworth Analog Bits. These two companies came to the industry from opposite directions which make them a perfect match, absolutely.… Read More
