High Bandwidth Memory Comes Into Its Own

by Amelia Dalton

Watch out HBM, Fish Fry is coming to get ya! In this week’s episode, we take on High Bandwidth Memory with Mike Gianfangna from eSilicon. Mike and I chat about what kind of designs HBM is best suited for, how it compares with the hybrid memory cube, and why terabyte performance may be closer at hand than ever before. We also take a look at the new Synopsys Synplify FPGA design tools.

New Episode of Chalk Talk: Synplify FPGA Synthesis

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.

CBOT MULTIGIG Transceiver Platform

Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and TE Connectivity

In this episode of Chalk Talk, Anders Thelin from TE Connectivity and Amelia Dalton explore how the CBOT MULTIGIG transceiver platform helps address these challenges with a modular, high-performance approach to rugged, high-density connectivity. We also investigate how this platform supports next-generation system architectures, improves design efficiency, and enables robust performance in even the most demanding environments.
