How silicon design and engineering is changing with AI

1 1

Powering next-gen semiconductors

Leverage cloud’s vast resources and the edge’s speed and privacy to create powerful, real-time and secure systems with AI. Network and telecom technologies ensure smooth data flow, enabling smart applications and connected ecosystems. ARM and RISC-V processors provide the performance and energy efficiency needed for advanced automotive and ADAS systems.

AI-driven silicon, ecosystem and innovation

Silicon-to-system capabilities, powered by AI, drive high quality and performance while accelerating development through left-shifting. AI agents enable a left-shift from silicon architecture to productization, including firmware and software drivers. Ecosystem partnerships speed up time-to-market.

Streamlining design accuracy

Deviations in RTL code from errors or changes can lead to lengthy debug cycles and late defect detection. Gen AI-driven tools evaluate the code against register specifications, ensuring accuracy and reducing issues. Specification documents must serve as the single source of truth, enhancing reliability and efficiency.

Integrate requirement management, MBSE, PPA analysis and HW/SW and RF/analog/digital partitioning for optimized, system-level design from concept to implementation.

Develop functional specifications, micro-architecture, DFT strategy and RTL design to deliver high-performance, testable, and reliable silicon solutions.

Integrate functional specification, architecture, schematics, I/O and standard cells, memory, macroblocks, and simulation for precise, high-performance mixed-signal and analog circuits.

Employ comprehensive verification strategies, including UVM testbenches, scoreboards, functional, formal, and gate-level verification, code coverage, and dynamic power analysis.

Cover RTL synthesis, netlist creation, DFT insertion, floor planning, placement and routing, extraction, and timing closure to deliver optimized and manufacturable silicon layouts.

Develop FPGA platforms, map designs, emulate, bring up platforms, and validate systems to ensure design accuracy before silicon fabrication.

Plan validation, use validated PCBs, bring up chips, conduct validation testing, plan characterization, and use characterization PCBs for thorough device verification and performance assessment.

Handle board bring-up, driver development, communication and interface testing, system-level validation, and automated testing to ensure reliable and efficient hardware-software integration.
