Open-source tools and multi-project wafer (MPW) shuttles democratize chip design for low cost. Small circuits, both analog and digital, are accommodated by embedding them as “tiles” or “clusters” into ...

Quickly learn what the difference is between PMOS and NMOS transistors in their structure and operation, and how CMOS works with the two in combination. Siliwiz, a free, browser-based, ASIC layout ...

This week, Google unveiled its AlphaChip reinforcement learning method for designing chip layouts. The AlphaChip AI promises to substantially speed up the design of chip floorplans and make them more ...

Human intelligence and our collective wisdom are already becoming limiting factors in the rise of AI. Indeed, the only smart move at this point seems to be letting AIs design their own future hardware ...

Since their early introduction a few years ago, AI-powered features have become a mainstay of EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tools. Many of the complex yet potentially tedious tasks silicon ...
