The explosive growth of AI and accelerated computing is placing unprecedented demands on system-on-chip (SoC) design. Modern AI workloads require extremely high bandwidth, ultra-low latency, and energy-efficient data movement across increasingly heterogeneous architectures. As SoCs scale to incorporate clusters of… Read More

We’re bringing together well-respected observers and founders in the semiconductor… Read More
Webinar: From RTL to Silicon: Qualcomm Closes the Power Gap with Module-Level Insights
Traditional RTL low power design techniques such as sequential clock gating are widely deployed across the industry. Yet, even after multiple RTL revisions, residual power inefficiencies often remain undetected until silicon, resulting in missed optimization opportunities.
This seminar presents a refined approach to
Silicon Photonics Workshop
Lighting the Future: Advancing Silicon Photonics for the AI Connectivity Era
Soitec is pleased to host a private workshop event in parallel of ECOC 2025, offering a forward-looking perspective on the expanding role of photonics in enabling next-generation AI architectures.
The workshop will bring together leading voices
Making AI Silicon Smart with PVT Monitoring
PVT – depending on what field you are in those three letters may mean totally different things. In my undergraduate field of study, chemistry, PVT meant Pressure, Volume & Temperature. Many of you probably remember PV=nRT, the dreaded ideal gas law. However, anybody working in semiconductors knows that PVT stands … Read More
Context is Everything – especially for autonomous vehicle IP
GM has just announced that it will introduce a car with no steering wheel or pedals in 2019. According to their statement, they have already planned four phases of their autonomous driving system, and they will plan many more. However, before we jump into this latest car and not grab the wheel for a spin, it is reasonable to ask about… Read More
TSMC Teamwork Translates to Technical Triumph
Most people think that designing successful high speed analog circuits requires a mixture of magic, skill and lots of hard work. While this might be true, in reality it also requires a large dose of collaboration among each of the members of the design, tool and fabrication panoply. This point was recently made abundantly clear … Read More
The Fabless Empire Strikes Back, Global Foundries and Cadence make moves into Integrated Photonics!
In August I wrote an article proclaiming Score 1 for IDMs vs Fabless and discussedIntel’sannouncement of volume production of their 100G PSM4 and 100G CWDM4 transceiver products.
This week the Fabless Empire strikes back.Daniel Nenni and I attended a two-day Photonic Summit and workshop hosted by Cadence Design, PhoeniX Software… Read More
IP Market at Your Desk!
Semiconductors have played very important role in making internet successful and that has unleashed the potential of e-commerce. Today, we see names like Alibaba, whose primary focus is on commodity trade. I couldn’t imagine an e-commerce type of web portal for semiconductor services until I looked at the eSilicon website. … Read More
Opto-Electronics to Take Care of Data Explosion
As we come nearer to an intelligent IoT world, one of the major concerns we talk every day is about data explosion, its storage, and access and so on. In the beginning of the year, I had blogged about some facts that indicated successful emergence of IoT in very near future. My faith gets further strengthened when I envision the semiconductor… Read More
