A Master Class with Ansys and Synopsys, The Latest Advances in Multi Die Design

2.5D and 3D multi-die design is rapidly moving into the mainstream for many applications. HPC, GPU, mobile, and AI/ML are application areas that have seen real benefits. The concept of “mix/match” for chips and chiplets to form a complex system sounds deceptively simple. In fact, the implementation and analysis techniques required… Read More

Complexity and density conspire to make power delivery very difficult for advanced SoCs. Signal integrity, power integrity, reliability and heat can seem to present unsolvable problems when it comes to efficient power management. There is just not enough room to get it all done with the routing layers available on the top side… Read More
