EDN: Chiplet design basics for engineers

Why Chiplets Win for Al-based Semiconductors

As AI and HPC workloads intensify, engineers are turning to chiplet-based architectures to overcome the limitations of traditional SoCs. This article explains the fundamentals of chiplet design, its advantages, and the tools enabling scalable, high-performance multi-die systems.

Design & Reuse: Automating NoC Design to Tackle Rising SoC Complexity

Modern SoCs Require Multiple NoCs For Optimal Performance

Modern SoCs typically include between 5 and 20 individual NoC instances, consuming around 10–13% of the total silicon area. However, existing methodologies, especially in light of growing register demands, are proving inadequate. This leads to extended development cycles, frequent design iterations, and heightened schedule risks. To address these challenges, automated NoC generation provides a scalable and efficient solution for managing increasing design complexity. Learn more about how automation is transforming NoC design in this article.

Semiconductor Engineering: CSR Management: Life Beyond Spreadsheets

Magillem Registers provides a single source of truth

The hardware-software interface (HSI) that’s physically represented by control and status registers (CSRs) is a critical source of design risk. Mismanagement of CSRs contributes to a number of SoC failures. To avoid these setbacks, engineering teams need a robust, automated approach to CSR definition and management that ensures consistency across hardware and software.
