Analog IC Migration using AI
My first job out of college was migrating a DRAM chip from one process node to a newer node, and it was a 100% manual process that required many months of effort. That need to migrate semiconductor IP to newer nodes is still with us today, and much automation has been applied to digital circuits, however migrating analog IP has proven… Read More

Webinar: Synopsys and Altera, an Intel Company, Present: A Data-Driven Approach to Multi-Die Design Architecture
Abstract:
A successful multi-die design begins at the architecture exploration level. However, the architecture challenges are exacerbated for multi-die designs as performance and power need to be optimized across multiple heterogeneous and homogeneous dies. Disaggregating IPs based on workload demands, selecting the… Read More
Intel and Cadence Collaborate to Advance the All-Important UCIe Standard
The Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express™ (UCIe™) 1.0 specification was announced in early 2022 and a UCIe 1.1 update was released on August 8, 2023. This open standard facilitates the heterogeneous integration of die-to-die link interconnects within the same package. This is a fancy way of saying the standard opens the door… Read More
Keysight EDA and Engineering Lifecycle Management at #61DAC
Entering the exhibit area of DAC on the first floor I was immediately faced with the Keysight EDA booth, and it was even larger than either the Synopsys or Cadence booths. They had a complete schedule of partners presenting in their theatre that included: Microsoft Azure, Riscure, Fermi Labs, BAE Systems, Alphawave, Intel Foundry,… Read More
