If you have anything to do with the semiconductor industry, you already know that one of the hottest areas for both manufacturing and EDA are systems designed with advanced packaging, basically putting more than one die (aka chiplets) in the same package.
When 3D packaging was first introduced, there were not really any effective… Read More
The world of computing is evolving rapidly, with a constant demand for more powerful and efficient systems. Generative AI has driven exponential growth in the amount of data that is generated and processed at very high data speeds and very low latencies. Traditionally, computing systems have been built using monolithic designs,… Read More
Much of the recent Keysight EDA 2024 announcement focuses on high-speed digital (HSD) and RF EDA features for Advanced Design System (ADS) and SystemVue users, including RF System Explorer, DPD Explorer (for digital pre-distortion), and design elements for 5G NTN, DVB-S2X, and satcom phased array applications. Two important… Read More

In this spirited and informative discussion the … Read More
Semiconductor industry is going through an unprecedented technological revolution with AI/ML, GPU, RISC-V, chiplets, automotive and 5G driving the hardware design innovation. The race to deliver high performance, optimizing power and area (PPA), while ensuring safety and security is truly on. It has never been a more exciting… Read More
Harry Peterson is a mixed-signal chip designer with a BS in Physics from Caltech. He managed IC design groups within Fairchild, Kodak, Philips, Northern Telecom, Toshiba and Pixelworks. During sabbaticals he helped fly experiments on NASA’s orbiting satellite observatory (OSO-8) and build telescopes in the Canary… Read More
-SEMICON well attended but bouncing along the biz bottom
-Recovery seems at least a year away with memory even more
-AI creates hope but not impactful- Disconnect tween stocks & reality
-AMAT me too platform- Back end benefits from chiplets
SEMICON is certainly back to pre-covid levels or perhaps better.… Read More
Chances are anyone who attended the CEO Outlook will say it was an engaging, entertaining and enlightening view of the chip design space, though CEO Outlook may be a misnomer as four of the seven panelists had C-Suite titles other than CEO.
Regardless, the collective view was optimistic, though caution prevailed as the economic… Read More
Many credible market analysis firms are predicting the semiconductor market to reach the trillion dollar mark over the next six years or so. Just compare this to the more than six decades it took for the market to cross the $500 billion mark. The projected growth rate is incredible indeed and is driven by fast growing market segments… Read More
Chiplets continue to be a hot topic on SemiWiki, conferences, white papers, webinars and one of the most active chiplet enabling vendors we work with is Synopsys. Synopsys is the #1 EDA and #1 IP company so that makes complete sense.
As you may have read, I moderated a panel on Chiplets at the last SNUG which we continue to write about.
