Racyics GmbH announced today it has launched makeChip, an innovative design service platform, developed using GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ 22FDX® process technology and supported by Cadence. Available to start-ups, design experts, research institutes, and universities, makeChip is a central gateway to design integrated circuits based on advanced semiconductor technologies.
The platform provides
Chips&Media, Inc., announced the introduction of new Image Signal Processing (ISP) IPs targeting Surveillance and Automotive products. New IP families are developed to specifically support 2MP, 5MP and 8MP sensors and specialized to meet demands of surveillance and automotive products, such as low light environment optimization.
For applications, such
The Internet of Things has become a mainstream technology strategy for businesses looking to accelerate growth in 2017 and beyond. The semiconductor industry isn’t immune to the ongoing IoT buzz, as experts believe that major players will soon abandon the pursuit of Moore’s Law in favor of a wholesome strategy necessitating

Since its inception in 2008, Chipus has been developing a series of analog power management IP cores, including linear regulators, power-on resets, ultra low power references (voltage and current), and power management units, using various architectures, and employed by customers worldwide in various application areas.
Chipus is now building
Apple began relatively early with artificial intelligence software when it introduced Siri in 2011 – a tool that allows users to activate their smartphones with voice commands. Now, the electronics giant is bringing artificial intelligence to ICs.
Apple is working on a processor specifically designed for artificial intelligence tasks,
Electronic systems that improve vehicle performance; that add comfort and convenience; and that warn, detect, and take corrective measures to keep drivers safe and alert are being added to new cars each year. Consumer demand and government mandates for many of these new systems, along with rising prices for many

Higher bus speeds and lower power consumption are design criteria for most modern digital electronic products. Packaging solutions that provide higher bus speeds at reduced power per bit ratios require design techniques that shorten the distance between chips (to reduce drive currents) and use wider data buses (with finer line-space

Today, VLSI design flow is a very solid and mature process. The overall VLSI design flow and the various steps within the VLSI design flow have proven to be both practical and robust in multi-millions VLSI designs until now.
Each and every step of the VLSI design flow has
