Technology agnostic analog circuit and IP migration

Every time you move your designs onto a new process or technology node, the analog circuits and IP need to be implemented. The fact is, managing the migration of these isn’t always the easiest since, as yet, there is no high-level description – as exists in the digital domain. There are smart ways to reuse […]

How repeat IP reuse delivers significant savings

When IP reuse is implemented quickly and easily, small cost savings can turn into good profit margins. Thalia Chair Rodger Sykes explains how when you maximize the number of repeat reuses, you also maximize the potential for efficiencies and cost savings. The development of a new chip involves significant upfront costs and investment. The higher […]

Circuit Porting shouldn’t be a shot in the dark

To stay competitive, migration is essential: supporting smaller (or larger!) process nodes, alternative fabs, or diversify designs without starting from scratch. Non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs can undermine product marketing strategies: making migration or diversification prohibitively expensive and eroding your competitive advantages in the market. Done correctly, it is possible to benefit from savings of 50 […]

Chiplets and IP reuse made easy: Smaller node ASICs are not always the best way forward

Chiplets are a relatively new trend in helping designers of large complex system design to enable a cost-effectively modular approach to designing with costly SoCs. I say relatively because proposals started back in 2016 when DARPA used it as part of its CHIPS (Common Heterogeneous Integration and IP Reuse Strategies) program. To quote DARPA, “The […]

AI: when is it ‘really’ intelligent?

Artificial Intelligence is quite obviously a buzzword which attracts significant marketing hype – that has been the case for a decade at least. There are countless number of high-profile examples where AI is used to simply describe an automated (usually software-enabled) routine. Good examples of this can be seen in Facebook’s use of AI: filters […]
