Rusafa Shahreen, Director of Technical Marketing at Alphacore met with me at DAC 2026 to provide an update on what’s new in their IP for AMS, RF, imaging and rad-hard designs. Her background includes MSEE and MBA degrees, plus seven years at Alphacore in Arizona. The founders of the company have a rad-hard background and their early… Read More
Most of the AI conversation stops at the chip. At SEMICON West 2026 I sat down with René Jonker, Chief Product Officer of Soitec, to talk about what sits underneath it.
Ask an engineer where AI performance comes from and you will hear about process nodes, dataflow, HBM stacks and interconnect fabrics. Rarely about the wafer. Yet a … Read More
TSMC is describing an artificial intelligence boom that reaches beyond accelerator chips into the wider computing infrastructure needed to support increasingly capable AI systems. On the recent investor call, Chairman and CEO Dr. C.C. Wei presents strong demand, persistent supply constraints and an ambitious expansion … Read More

Analog Bits, Inc. is an established provider of mixed-signal semiconductor IP that integrates into advanced system-on-chip (SoC) designs to enable intelligent energy and power management. Its full portfolio of IP blocks includes precision clocking macros, power and temperature sensors including LDO and regulators, programmable… Read More
The semiconductor industry creates increasingly complex SoC and chiplets using lots of IP and all of that IP needs to be characterized at the cell level. As we design with 3nm and 2nm nodes, the sheer volume of data required for accurate static timing analysis (STA) is greatly increasing. Modern design flows rely on characterized… Read More
The majority of my 40+ year career has been spent managing the relationship between leading-edge semiconductor design and manufacture, working with just about every commercial foundry and top customer in one way or another. It’s my thing—it fascinates me. I’m also a fan of disruption, and the latest disruptions the semiconductor… Read More
