The theme of this year’s DAC was Chips to Systems which is a full circle type of thing since systems companies used to make their own chips. Old school computer companies were the biggest chip makers when I started in the semiconductor industry. IDMs like Motorola and Intel replaced them at the chip level. Shortly after I joined… Read More
This year’s live semiconductor ecosystem conferences have been well attend and I expect the same for #61DAC next week. I will be at the conference from Sunday afternoon to Wednesday evening, if you would like to meet let me know. Networking is an important part of the semiconductor ecosystem so let’s make it happen.… Read More
In the late 1970s, cryptographic history saw the emergence of two seminal algorithms: McEliece and RSA. At that time, quantum threats were theoretical, and the selection criteria for cryptographic algorithms prioritized public key length and execution time, leading to RSA’s prominence while McEliece remained obscure… Read More
Analyzing electrical errors across an IP or a SoC at top level, can be a painful and long process, often requiring extensive setup time and hundred of hours to distinguish real issues from false positives.
To address this challenge, Aniah developed OneCheck, a formal analysis tool capable of detecting 100% of electrical errors… Read More
While PQC implementation is not yet mandatory, organizations must plan the integration of cryptographic algorithms to anticipate the considerable time investment required for design, development, and certification.
In this webinar we will delve into the imminent transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography, exploring the… Read More

During a project, subsystem and full-chip integration plays a crucial role. Integration can be particularly challenging on large SoCs with distributed teams due to complexity of the integration process, multi-site infrastructure issues, as well as the need to collaborate … Read More
Quite a few of the articles I now see about the semiconductor industry use AI. It is not hard to tell, especially for someone like myself, a 40 year experienced semiconductor professional who also writes. In the last 13 years (yes SemiWiki is now a teenager) we have published 9,058 blogs. SemiWiki was the first of now many semiconductor… Read More
Dan is joined by Mark Williams. Mark is a Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Pulsic. He has over 30 years of experience in the EDA industry and was one of the team that pioneered shape-based routing technology in the 1980s while working at Zuken-Redac.
Mark explains the unique “freemium” model for automating analog… Read More
In today’s rapidly evolving semiconductor industry, the demand for high-quality and reliable semiconductors at a reasonable cost is increasing. This is why world-class yield management has become more and more important for fabless semiconductor companies and IDMs.
Dan is joined by Malcolm Penn, CEO of Future Horizons. Malcolm is a contributor to SemiWiki and a frequent podcast guest.
Dan and Malcolm discuss what happened in the semi industry last year and what 2023 and 2024 will look like and why. The discussion is a preview to Malcolm’s upcoming Industry Update Webinar on January … Read More
