AI isn’t having an easy ride. The media and Wall Street swing wildly between extremes on any hint of a shift in AI sentiment. Dickens saw this coming: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Read More

IP XACT min

IP-XACT, defined by IEEE 1685, is a standard that pulls together IP packaging, integration, and reuse. For anyone building modern SoCs (Systems on Chip), IP-XACT isn’t just another XML schema: it is a productivity multiplier and a risk-reduction tool that brings order to your electronic system design.

What is IP-XACT?

IP-XACT… Read More


The IO Hub: An Emerging Pattern for System Connectivity in Chiplet-Based Designs

The IO Hub: An Emerging Pattern for System Connectivity in Chiplet-Based Designs
by Bernard Murphy on 09-17-2025 at 6:00 am

Disaggregation of NoCs min

In chiplet-based design we continue the march of Moore’s Law by scaling what we can put in a semiconductor package beyond the boundaries of what we can build on a single die. This style is already gaining traction in AI applications, high performance computing, and automotive, each of which aims to scale out to highly integrated … Read More


Arteris Expands Their Multi-Die Support

Arteris Expands Their Multi-Die Support

multi die use cases min

I am tracking the shift to multi-die design, so it’s good to see Arteris extend their NoC expertise, connecting chiplets across an interposer. After all, network connectivity needs don’t stop at the boundaries of chiplets. A multi-die package is at a logical level just a scaled-up SoC for which you still need traffic routing and… Read More
