New EDA tools arrive for chiplet integration, package verification
The world we are living in is increasingly becoming software-defined, where artificial intelligence (AI) is adding the next layer of functionality. And it’s driving the need for more compute to enable the software-enabled functionality. However, with this huge progression in compute content, Moore’s Law scaling will be insufficient to support the number of transistors for…

Solar E-Waste: A Growing Challenge For Sustainability
– Advertisement – Is sustainability being overshadowed by waste? Solar power is rapidly expanding, but so are its components, being sent to the dump. Can recycling keep pace with this swift growth? As sustainability becomes a key alternative, the adoption of solar energy has witnessed remarkable growth over the past decade. Falling prices of photovoltaic…

Unlocking compound semiconductor manufacturing’s potential requires yield management
This article is the second in a series from PDF Solutions on why adopting big data platforms will transform the compound semiconductor industry. The first part “Accelerating silicon carbide (SiC) manufacturing with big data platforms” was recently published on EDN. Compound semiconductors such as SiC are revolutionizing industries with their ability to handle high-power, high-frequency,…

A teardown tale of two not-so-different switches
Eleven years ago, my wife and I experienced the aftereffects of our first close-proximity lightning blast here in the Rocky Mountain foothills, clobbering (among other things) both five-port and eight-port Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switches, both of which ended up going under the teardown knife. The failure mechanism for the first switch ended up being non-obvious,…

Chiplet basics: Separating hype from reality
There’s currently a significant buzz within the semiconductor industry around chiplets, bare silicon dies intended to be combined with others into a single packaged device. Companies are beginning to plan for chiplet-based designs, also known as multi-die systems. Yet, there is still uncertainty about what designing chiplet architecture entails, which technologies are ready for use,…

Time-to-digital conversion for space applications
What is a TDC? A time-to-digital converter (TDC) is like a stopwatch measuring the elapsed interval between two events with picosecond precision, converting this into a digital value for post-processing. Many space applications require time-of-flight measurements to calculate distance, delay, or velocity. For example, an in-space servicing, assembly, and manufacturing (ISAM) spacecraft needs to determine…
