While semiconductor design intellectual property (IP) is a $9.45 billion market, it acts as the absolute architectural bottleneck for the entire global semiconductor value chain. The choices made at the IP layer today dictate the cost, power, and security of a downstream technology economy rapidly marching toward a trillion… Read More
This webinar, in partnership with Easy-Logic Technology, is to address the complexities and challenges associated with functional ECO (Engineering Change Order) in ASIC design, with a particular focus on mixed-signal designs.
The webinar begins by highlighting the critical role of mixed-signal chips in modern applications,… Read More
Keysight Showcases AI-Ready EDA and Multi-Physics Innovation at #62DAC
Design engineers attending #62DAC who focus on Design Data & IP Management, Analog, Mixed-Signal, RFIC, MMIC, or Multi-Physics should make booth #1408 a top destination. I had the opportunity to speak with Simon Rance, General Manager & Business… Read More
I just read an interesting white paper on functional verification of analog blocks using SV-RNM (SystemVerilog real number modeling). The content is worth the effort to read closely as it elaborates a functional verification flow for RNM matching expectations for digital logic verification, from randomization to functional… Read More

Bram co-founded ICsense in 2004 as a spin-off of the University of Leuven. He is CEO since 2004 and helped growing the company from 4 to over 100 people in 20 years while being profitable every year. He managed the acquisition by TDK in 2017. He is an experienced entrepreneur in the micro-electronics field with a strong interest in … Read More
Alphacore Inc., an industry leader in proven high-performance analog and radio-frequency (RF) design building blocks, end products, and intellectual property (IP) licensing and non-recurring engineering (NRE) design services. Our customers include multi-national corporations to ground-breaking startups. We were … Read More
Keynotes commonly provide a one-sided perspective of a domain, either customer-centric or supplier-centric. Kudos therefore to Cadence’s Paul Cunningham for breaking the mold in offering the first half of his keynote to Anthony Hill, a TI fellow, to talk about outstanding challenges he sees in verification for automotive … Read More
Pulsic recently announced its new “freemium” product Animate Preview and we had the chance to chat with Mark Williams, President and CEO of Pulsic. Mark explained details of the product and the new business model that could change the direction of the traditional EDA business model structure.
What brought you to the semiconductor… Read More
I remember it like it was yesterday. I was sitting at lunch with good friend Scott Santandrea, explaining my struggles to get traction with the sales channel for the Analog to Digital Converter product line I was managing. My business line had been spending a lot of resources developing high-performance 24-bit delta sigma and 20-bit
The number of touchpoints between analog and digital circuits in high performance SoCs is increasing. This is not a problem because it is possible to implement critical analog blocks directly on nanometer scale digital ICs. However, in many cases digital interfaces or digital feedback circuitry configures these analog blocks… Read More
