𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐇𝐚𝐰𝐤-𝐒𝐂 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐦𝐚𝐃𝐕𝐃 is a groundbreaking innovation in EDA, redefining how chip designers approach power integrity signoff. This once-in-a-decade technology captured significant attention from investors and chip designers alike at this year’s Design Automation Conference (DAC). Industry leaders like 𝐍𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐚, 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭, 𝐒𝐓, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐂 shared success stories, showcasing how SigmaDVD has helped them achieve optimal power, performance, and area (PPA). One of the standout moments was a panel discussion hosted by our VP and Head of R&D, Murat Becer, alongside industry experts like Chip Stratakos (ex-MSFT) and Mohit Jain (Qualcomm). The session was a deep dive into the future of chip design with SigmaDVD, and the video is now available on our YouTube channel. I highly recommend every chip designer watch this discussion to discover the future of power integrity signoff! 🔗 #EDA #ChipDesign #PowerIntegrity #Innovation #DAC2023 #RedHawkSC #SigmaDVD

NEW SILICON PARETO CURVE, EVP: I've debated this problem for a while, and many people have looked at replacing the infamous PPA Pareto curve. I have played with adding interconnects (including the pins) into the equation and 4-letter and 5-letter replacements. After playing with several alternatives, I think EVP is probably the most effortless future transition and more straightforward to pronounce than the alternatives. First-pass justifications: - ENERGY, E: because our community should care not only about Performance but the "cost" of Performance, i.e., energy-in and the heat-out. Power really does not show the cost. Yes, time is a function of Performance, but it is also a function of cost. I am concerned that the industry has lost its Moral Imperative on efficiency. Reduction of logic or geometry shrinkage are minor factors in the efficiency game and not very useful ones. - VOLUME, V: yes, we will be going to physical 3D silicon, no longer caring about 2D floorplans (very 70s). We will choose computational cubes over pancakes. We will care more about making 3D circuits cool enough to drive future computational cubes that avoid thermal nuclear meltdowns. - PERFORMANCE, P: does not change. Performance is the metric for a satisfied consumer. Again, linked to Energy, but how much is too much? How close can we push modern computing world towards the Margolus-Levitin limit with the available Energy without destroying the worlds resources in the process. #vairecomputing #PPA #EVP #Physics #nearzeroenergycomputing #future #semiconductor

Daily News ①HBM demand surge leads to an 8% DRAM price hike amid supply shortage. Industry heavily investing in High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) DRAM, while commodity DRAM is expected to face supply shortages. Reports indicate Samsung and SK Hynix are operating their commodity DRAM chip production at 80% to 90% capacity, contrasting sharply with NAND flash's full-speed production. Since early 2024, commodity DRAM capacity has only increased by approximately 10%.  ②Malaysia is emerging as a semiconductor hub in Southeast Asia. Supply chain diversification is crucial for semiconductor firms. Malaysia saw substantial investments from China, the US, the Netherlands, Singapore, and Japan. Taiwanese companies invested $129 million in 2022, making Taiwan Malaysia's 12th largest investor, with $112 million in the electronics and electrical sectors—Malaysia's proximity to Taiwan benefits semiconductor supply chains. ③AMD plans to construct a supercomputer with 1.2 million GPUs, potentially costing hundreds of billions. AMD's plan to build a cluster of 1.2 million GPUs for a supercomputer could greatly boost technological innovation and capacity expansion in the semiconductor industry. This initiative may manufacturers to ramp up production, expand facilities, streamline supply chains, and increase R&D investments to meet the high demand for computing power. End-users might also increase procurement of high-performance GPUs for their robust AI training capabilities. ④TSMC plans to build its third 2-nanometer chip manufacturing plant in Kaohsiung City. TSMC is constructing its first 2-nanometer fab in Kaohsiung, and the second fab is also underway. The planned third fab, Kaohsiung P3, covers 17.22 hectares and was reclassified by the Kaohsiung Urban Planning Commission as a Type A industrial zone on the 24th. After environmental impact assessments and soil pollution remediation, TSMC can apply for construction permits to start building the third 2-nanometer fab.  #randa #semiconductors #electroniccomponents #ic #cpu #mcu #gpu #supplychains #materials #EV #servers #AI #HBM #DRAM #NAND #AMD #solutions #procurementstrategies #trends #chips #MOSFET

very good intro to CAN bus, and handwritten at that when I worked for Silicon Labs we had several hand written technical documents, those were the best; not because they were handwritten but because there is something about writing in hand: focus is different, there is more freedom than typing and mind engages in content rather than format (and format is much more fluid)

#India #Smartphone Shipments Fall 2% YoY in April-June Quarter, Record Highest Ever Q2 Value 💡 India’s smartphone shipments fell 2% YoY in Q2 2024 (April-June), according to Counterpoint’s Monthly India Smartphone Tracker. The decline was influenced by a #heatwave, a #seasonal slump, and slower demand from Q1 2024. In response, OEMs hosted sales events in Q2 to clear #inventory, leading to a reduced sell-in and a period of degrowth. Commenting on the market’s volume dynamics, Senior Research Analyst Shilpi Jain said, “Heatwave conditions in various regions led to lower footfalls in offline channels and delayed smartphone purchases as consumers prioritized appliances like air conditioners and refrigerators. This reduced demand caused an inventory build-up. However, summer sales at online channels, good harvest and aggressive promotions towards the end of the quarter provided relief to OEMs, helping close the quarter on a better note than at the beginning. During the quarter, Xiaomi Technology reclaimed the top spot with a 23% YoY growth in its shipments, driven by a streamlined and focused portfolio that spans from the entry-level to affordable premium segments. To further solidify its position, the company employed a strategy to push flagship handsets, improve marketing and expand distribution channels.” Thanks again to Counterpoint Research for the full article with more background and insights via the link below 💡🙏👇 https://lnkd.in/eht2RDeR #semiconductorindustry #semiconductors #semiconductor #technology #tech #consumermelectronics #geopolitics #mobile #phones #chips #ic

#Samsung Starts Mass Production of 9th Generation V-NAND: 1Tb 3D TLC NAND 💡 Samsung Electronics has started mass production of its 9th generation of V-NAND #memory. The first dies based on their latest #NAND #tech come in a 1 Tb capacity using a triple-level cell (TLC) architecture, with #data transfer rates as high as 3.2 GT/s. The new 3D TLC NAND memory will initially be used to build high-capacity and high-performance #SSDs, which will help to solidify Samsung's position in the storage market. Diving right in, Samsung is conspicuously avoiding to list the number of layers in their latest generation NAND, which is the principle driving factor in increasing capacity generation-on-generation. The company's current 8th gen V-NAND is 236 layers – similar to its major competitors – and word on the street is that 9th gen V-NAND ups that to 290 layers, though this remains to be confirmed.

India's government initiatives, like the Design-Linked Incentive (DLI) scheme, represent a pivotal move toward fostering homegrown companies in the electronics and semiconductor sectors. By offering financial and infrastructural support, the DLI scheme aims to enhance local manufacturing, spur innovation, and cultivate a strong ecosystem for semiconductor and electronics design in India. In this article, Jaswinder Ahuja, along with other industry leaders, explores the necessity for the Government to integrate indigenous large firms into this scheme.

#AI and high performance computing demands have revolutionized the silicon, leading to a race to create the most massive and fastest designs achievable. At Baya Systems, we are witnessing the emergence of multi PB/s bi-section bandwidth within package, surpassing wire bandwidth growth physics. Outdated legacy communication solutions result in excessive power and area (x++% power, area for x% perf gain). This is unsustainable and calls for a transformation in on- and inter-chiplet communication and optimization strategies. In the race of high performance computing and AI silicon development, prioritizing #chiplet and on-chip communication for multi PB/s bandwidth is not only critical to win but just to stay in the game.
