Hitting the Laws of Semiconductor Physics: How an ASIC Model for IP Can Encourage Multi-Die System Innovation

by Amelia Dalton

You scream for IP. I scream for IP. We all scream for IP! In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, Manmeet Walia (Synopsys) and I investigate the evolution of IP and the role that IP will play in the future of multi-die systems. We also discuss why a shift in the semiconductor ecosystem is pushing a movement toward ASIC and COT models, the benefits of an ASIC model for IP, and how standards are helping accelerate innovation in multi-die systems.

An Automated Method for Adding Resiliency to Mission-Critical SoC Designs

Sponsored by Synopsys

Adding safety measures to SoC designs in the form of radiation-hardened elements or redundancy is essential in making mission-critical applications in the A&D, cloud, automotive, robotics, medical, and IoT industries more resilient against random hardware failures that occur. This paper discusses the automated process of implementing the safety mechanisms/measures (SM) in the design to make them more resilient and analyze their effectiveness from design inception to the final product.

Series Five Product Introduction
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Amphenol Aerospace
Size and weight are critical design considerations when it comes to military and aerospace applications. One way to minimize weight and size in these kinds of designs is to take a closer look at your choice of connectors. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Anthony Annunziata from Amphenol Aerospace about the series five next generation connectors from Amphenol Aerospace.
