Abstract This article offers a comparative assessment of two prominent die-to-die interconnect technologies in chiplet-focused systems: Bunch of Wires (BoW) and Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) 2.0. BoW presents a…

The Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) specification is designed to foster a disaggregated die architecture ecosystem, prioritizing interoperability across devices with varying performance. To achieve this, the specification defines compliance…

What is Low Power Mode in VLSI Design? In VLSI design, low power mode refers to techniques or states where a system or circuit consumes as little power as possible.…

Abstract CHIPS Alliance has developed an open-source riscv-dv random instruction generator for RISC-V processor verification. This article focuses on the class riscv_asm_program_gen.sv and its various functions, which generate the complete…

Introduction Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming many industries, such as healthcare, automotive, and electronics. As AI and ML technologies continue to evolve, they need powerful Hardware…

Programming Language Interface (PLI) is an interface which makes it possible for many programming languages to be integrated and communicate with one another. PLI acts as a bridge between different…

Compute eXpress Link (CXL) is an open standard that allows a) Host to access externally connected pool of DDR memory space with simple load/store commands at low latencies. b) A host server…

While Register Transfer Level (RTL) simulation plays a vital role in verifying the high-level functionality of a design, it is often insufficient to catch all potential issues. This is where…

Onboard Charger (OBC) Integrated Circuits (ICs) are critical components in electric vehicles (EVs), responsible for managing power conversion and battery charging. Verifying these ICs is essential to ensure functionality, reliability,…

What is AMS Verification: Analog Mixed Signal (AMS) refers to simulations that utilize both analog and digital solvers. In the context of integrated circuit (IC) design, AMS verification involves testing…

AMS & DMS in VLSI Verification Analog Mixed Signal (AMS) and Digital Mixed Signal (DMS) are both crucial areas in the verification and validation of integrated circuits, but they differ…
