The smart path to chiplets using hierarchical device planning and pin regions
Advancements in IC packaging manufacturing, combined with the exploding costs of designing monolithic ICs on today’s advanced process nodes, have given rise to a growing trend of disaggregating large SoCs into smaller dies and chiplets. This increased design complexity requires iterative multi-physics analysis during the floorplanning stage and optimization of the design for PPA and cost goals, significantly raising the barrier for project success. Trying to employ traditiona

PCB routing: art + automation
By Ray Macias and Gregory Beers PCB routing is one of the most enjoyable parts of PCB design , but also the most time consuming. It may take only a week to layout your board, but it could take you three months to route it unless you have the appropriate automation tools. PCB routing technology is more advanced than in years past, and yet, you can still be very creative and make a beautiful design. It makes sense to take advantage of the tools that are available to you when ro

PCB design best practices: electrical/electronic co-design
By Stephen Chavez What is electrical/electronic co-design? Circuit boards don’t work in isolation, they usually interface with other circuit boards via connectors, cables or harnesses. Electrical/electronic co-design is the integrated collaboration between these disciplines. This way, your entire hardware design from multi board electronic system specification to completed PCBs and cables can be handled within one integrated flow. What’s not working? Full systems design is us
