For decades, One-Time Programmable (OTP) memory has been viewed as a foundational element of hardware security. Because OTP can be written only once and cannot be modified afterward, it has traditionally been trusted to store cryptographic keys, secure boot code, device identity, and configuration data. Permanence was often… Read More
As semiconductor design pushes into increasingly complex territory, driven by Ai, ML, HPC, and heterogeneous system architectures, designers are challenged to balance performance, power, and time-to-market pressures. In this landscape, network-on-chip (NoC) architectures have emerged as a foundational building block… Read More
Building a complex SoC is a risky endeavor that demands careful planning, strategic decisions, and collaboration across hardware and software domains. As highlighted in Darren Jones’ RISC-V Summit presentation from Andes Technology, titled “From Blueprint to Reality: Navigating SoC Tradeoffs, IP, and Ecosystem,”… Read More
In a significant advancement for automotive electronics, Semiconductor intellectual property provider CAST has unveiled the MSC-CTRL Microsecond Channel Controller IP core. This new core empowers ASIC and FPGA designers with a deterministic, microsecond-precise serial interface for connecting to smart power and sensor… Read More
Many products are assembled from components manufactured and distributed separately, and it is important to consider how such products are manufactured when seeking to provide commercially valuable patent protection. This article provides an example in the field of computer chip manufacture.

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
Breker Verification Systems Plans Demonstrations of its Complete Synthesis and SystemVIP Library and Solutions Portfolio
Attendees who step into the Breker Verification Systems booth during DAC (Booth #2520—second floor) will see demonstrations of its Trek Test Suite Synthesis and SystemVIP libraries and solutions portfolio.… Read More
When Apple introduced Siri in 2011, it was the first serious attempt to make voice interaction a mainstream user interface. Embedded into the iPhone 4S, Siri brought voice into consumers’ lives not as a standalone product, but as a built-in feature—a hands-free way to interact with an existing device. Siri set the expectation… Read More
