AttoTude has expanded its use of Keysight Technologies’ Advanced Design System (ADS) to support an integrated-circuit design flow spanning signaling frequencies from 100 GHz to 3 THz. The company reports that the resulting workflow has reduced IC development cycles by more than 50%, enabling projects to move from concept to… Read More
Perforce delivers a DevOps Tech Stack for teams building and running high-stakes software systems and revenue-critical applications, where failure is not an option. As a trusted partner helping organizations govern software delivery for AI, Perforce solutions enforce guardrails across code quality, infrastructure, and… Read More
High-speed digital (HSD) designers have long tested the limits of realizable speed. GHz frequencies are now the norm, and multi-level signaling is pushing rates higher while the long-awaited transition to optical signaling and even higher rates looms ever closer. Power density is also climbing, and data-hungry applications… Read More
Heat and semiconductor reliability exist in an inversely proportional relationship. Before the breaking point at the thermal junction temperature rating, every 10°C rise in steady-state temperature cuts predicted MOSFET life in half. Yet, heat densities rise as devices plunge into harsher environments like smartphones,… Read More
On July 4, 2012, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, announced that the ATLAS and CMS experiments had each observed a new particle, which is consistent with the Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is a general-purpose detector with a broad physics… Read More
The semiconductor industry is expected to grow at a reasonable pace in 2015 and beyond, with the biggest market being compute applications followed by wireless and consumer applications. The highest growth, however, is expected to be in application-specific products for devices such as smartphones, wearables, memories, … Read More
