Moderating Open Chiplet Enthusiasm

I recently talked with Frank Schirrmeister (Solutions & Business Development, Arteris) on the state of progress to the open chiplet ideal. You know – where a multi-die system in package can be assembled with UCIe (or other) connections seamlessly connecting data flows between dies. If artificial general intelligence and… Read More

Chiplet

Chiplets have simplified one area of design but opened pandora’s box on another front. The simulation complexity of each chiplet is lower but now the chiplet-to-chiplet interconnect has become complex. Folks are experimenting with different interconnect protocols, variations of UCIe, modifying UCIe settings, interface… Read More

Will Chiplet Adoption Mimic IP Adoption?

Will Chiplet Adoption Mimic IP Adoption?
by Eric Esteve on 12-28-2023 at 6:00 am

Adoption theory

If we look at the semiconductor industry expansion during the last 25 years, adoption of design IP in every application appears to be one of the major factors of success, with silicon technology incredible development by a x100 factor, from 250nm in 2018 to 3nm (if not 2nm) in 2023. We foresee the move to chiplet-based architecture… Read More
