In today’s semiconductor industry, success hinges not only on innovation but also on discipline in managing complexity. Every system-on-chip (SoC) is built from hundreds of reusable IP blocks—standard cells, memories, interfaces, and analog components. These IPs are the foundation of the design. But if the foundation… Read More
This press release from CAST announces a significant collaboration with RANiX Inc., highlighting the integration of CAST’s TSN Switch IP core into RANiX’s new Integrated Micro Flat Antenna System (IMFAS) SoC. This development underscores the growing adoption of Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) in the automotive… Read More

My first panel discussion at DAC 2025 was all about using AI for digital implementation, as Siemens has a digital implementation tool called Aprisa which has been augmented with AI to produce better results, faster. Panelists were from Samsung, Broadcom, MaxLinear, AWS and Siemens. In the past it could take an SoC design team… Read More
Designing a system-on-chip (SoC) has never been more complex—or more critical. With accelerating demands across AI, automotive, and high-performance compute applications, today’s SoC architects face a series of high-stakes tradeoffs from the very beginning. Decisions made during the earliest phases of design—regarding… Read More
Architecting an SoC is a complicated step in building a successful chip. The first step is ensuring you have the critical requirements for your SoC captured so that the possible architectural options may be explored and the IP components that enable those architectures can be identified.
Selecting the right IP can make or break… Read More
