SoC clock tree overview, metrics that help qualify a clock tree and most commonly used clock tree distribution methodologies.
A probe card is essentially an interface or a board that is used to perform wafer test for a semiconductor wafer. It is used to connect to the integrated circuits located on a wafer to the ATE (Automated Test Equipment) in order to test their electrical parameters and…
A post that discusses what RISC-V is and why it’s important, teaches readers how to install the GNU RISC-V toolchain, and walks through building and running a simple C program on emulated RISC-V hardware.
This article introduces the Nyquist plot and explains how to interpret this alternative method of visually evaluating a system’s frequency response.
Learn more on the various capacitors in ASIC design that can improve your chip performance and recude it's cost.

Today, smartphones have made it easier than ever to capture beautiful images and videos. But what makes a good smartphone camera? It’s actually the image sensor. This piece of technology may be small, but it has a big impact on whatever your Instagram selfie is blurry or your…

Whoever comes up with the next big battery technology could become the ExxonMobil or Shell of the 21st century.

Standard Test Data Format (STDF) is a proprietary file format for semiconductor test information originally developed by Teradyne, but it is now a de facto standard widely used throughout the semiconductor industry. It is a commonly used format produced by automatic test…

I know, we're all doing vinyl and there has probably been no better time to be a vinyl junkie, given the number of places selling it and the...
Electric machineries are based on the basic principles of electromechanical conversion, which use either the electrostatic or the electromagnetic principle. This technical article deals with the magnetic circuit theory for the conversion of one form of energy to another.
Inductor design characteristics are defined in terms of various parameters. Inductor winding is made of a conductor material which may be a single round wire or a unique multi-stranded conductor known as Litz wire. Litz wire has the main advantage of reduced skin effect…
Millimeter wave frequencies have the potential to provide a solution to the growing demand for bandwidth and high-speed communication needs.
Over the last two years, there has been a push for novel architectures to feed the needs of machine learning and more specifically, deep neural networks.

The lack of stability is one of the major limitations that constrains PUF from being put in widespread practical use. In this paper, we propose a weak PUF and a strong PUF that are both completely...

Unified Memory on NVIDIA Pascal GPUs enables applications to run out-of-the-box with larger memory footprints and achieve great baseline performance.

For five years, a mysterious figure has been stealing books before their release. Is it espionage? Revenge? A trap? Or a complete waste of time?

This article introduces the techniques for describing combinational circuits in Verilog by examining how to use the conditional operator to describe combinational truth tables.
Solid is a purely reactive library. It was designed from the ground up with a reactive core. It's influenced by reactive principles developed by previous libraries.
This article will take a deeper look at five key power supply problems, how to know when they arise, and the best ways to address or mitigate them.

Josephine Baker next week will become the first Black woman and first American to be honored with enshrinement in Paris' Pantheon.

‘Do-gooders’ are often judged harshly. Why do we resent their acts of altruism or question their motives?
American consumers can’t resist the lure of a well-designed container. Of all the things I’ve purchased during the pandemic, the most useful has been a box cutter.

"Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" is a mainstay of basic cable—and a rallying cry for a country that is losing touch with itself.
In 2017, I went to Facebook on a sabbatical from my faculty position at Yale. I created a team to build a storage system called Delos at the bottom of the Facebook stack (think of it as Facebook’s version of Chubby). We hit production with a 3-person team in less than a year…
