Electronic Design Automation – the category of software tools used to design, simulate, and verify semiconductor chips. EDA tools assist in circuit design (schematics, HDL coding), logic synthesis, place-and-route, timing analysis, verification, etc. Modern chips rely on EDA software from companies like Synopsys, Cadence, and Siemens EDA for virtually every design step.

The recent Chiplet Summit in Santa Clara was buzzing with new designs and new design methods. It felt like the industry had turned a corner at this year’s event with lots of new technology and design success on display. Siemens EDA had a large presence at the show and took...
Though terminology sometimes get fuzzy, consensus holds that an agent manages a bounded task with control through a natural language interface. An agentic orchestrator, itself an agent, manages a more complex objective requiring reasoning through multi-step actions and is responsible for orchestrating those actions. By… Read More The post Siemens...
Silvaco Group Inc of Santa Clara, CA, USA — which provides AI-enabled technology computer-aided design (TCAD), electronic design automation (EDA) software and semiconductor intellectual property (SIP) for process and device development — has announced an expanded strategic partnership with Taiwan-based silicon and silicon carbide power device developer and and manufacturer...
