High-fidelity models incorporating real-world, cross-domain effects are essential for accurate RF system simulation. The surging popularity of gallium nitride (GaN) technology in 5G base stations, satellite communication, defense systems, and other applications raises the bar for transistor modeling. Keysight dives… Read More The post Self-heating and trapping enhancements in GaN HEMT models appeared first on SemiWiki ..read more

– KLA reported a good QTR but more importantly passing the bottom – Lead times mean KLA gets orders early in up cycle-just behind ASML – Potential upside in upcycle as packaging needs more process control – 2024 2nd half weighted with stronger recovery likely in 2025 A solid quarter as expected with good … Read More The post KLAC- Past bottom of cycle- up from here- early positive signs-packaging upside appeared first on SemiWiki ..read more

  We all know power and energy management is a top-of-mind item for many, if not all new system designs. Optimizing system power is a vexing problem. Success requires coordination of many hardware and software activities. The strategies to harmonize operation for high performance and low power are often not obvious. Much… Read More The post WEBINAR: Navigating the Power Challenges of Datacenter Infrastructure appeared first on SemiWiki ..read more

The great things about CEO keynotes, at least from larger companies, is that you not only learn about recent advances but you also get a sense of the underlying algorithm for growth. Particularly reinforced when followed by discussions with high profile partner CEOs on their directions and areas of common interest. I saw this recently… Read More The post Anirudh Keynote at CadenceLIVE 2024. Big Advances, Big Goals appeared first on SemiWiki ..read more

PCB designers can perform pre-route simulations, follow layout and routing rules, hope for the best from their prototype fab, and yet design errors cause respins which delays the project schedule. Just because post-route analysis is time consuming doesn’t mean that it should be avoided. Serial links are found in many PCB designs,… Read More The post Will my High-Speed Serial Link Work? appeared first on SemiWiki ..read more
