Photo by Harrison Broadbent on Unsplash THE POSITIVES OF SEMICONDUCTOR POWERED FPGA Year on year, for decades, Moore’s law has inspired semiconductor designers and manufacturers to pack more devices in the same silicon area. It has thus provided the computing world with different types of semiconductor products to process the
Photo by Louis Reed on Unsplash THE NEED FOR SEMICONDUCTOR DEVELOPMENT BOARD Semiconductor wafers are fabricated and assembled to produce packaged semiconductor products before it gets shipped to customers. In the production, silicon product then gets mounted onto a system platform. However, before the production line can use a semiconductor
Photo by Christian Wiediger on Unsplash THE IMPORTANCE OF PPA IN SEMICONDUCTOR Semiconductor products are designed and manufactured for different conditions with varying requirements. These conditions and requirements are often a combination of several technical criteria. One such important criteria are Power, Performance, And Area (PPA). In the end, the goal of
Photo by Laura Ockel on Unsplash THE NEED FOR SEMICONDUCTOR POWERED XPU Every software application eventually has to get executed on a hardware system. Whether the software application is running on a smartphone or a data center, the data processing request has to get decoded (binary instructions) before the hardware
Photo by Vlad Tchompalov on Unsplash THE NEED FOR SEMICONDUCTORS IN AUTOMOTIVE The automotive industry is going through a significant transformation. Countries all over the world are pressing for greener and eco-friendly vehicles. Government policies are getting stricter and demand vehicular technologies that require smarter software and hardware. The de-facto
Photo by david latorre romero on Unsplash THE NEED FOR AI SEMICONDUCTOR CHIPS Multi-Core Processor (MCP) or Chip Multi-Processor (CMP) revolutionized the computing industry. MCP/CMP came up with advanced execution and parallelism techniques. Software took the opportunity provided by the multiple processors fused into the single System-On-A-Chip (SoC). MCP also
Photo by İsmail Enes Ayhan on Unsplash THE NEED TO PROCESS DATA Internet usage is growing. Every new user generates a new type of data. The technology companies are always eager to process and understand new consumer behavior. It requires continuous research and development of both the software and the
Photo by Luan Gjokaj on Unsplash OVERVIEW Computers are designed to provide real-time feedback to all user requests. To enable such real-time feedback, Central Processing Unit (CPU) is vital. CPU is also referred to as processing units or simply processors. These incredibly small semiconductor units are the brain of the computer and
Photo by Jason Leung on Unsplash THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY STATUS In 2020, the semiconductor industry has seen both negative and positive trends. The first half of 2020 showed mostly the negative trend driven by the COVID-19 restrictions, as it lead to slower semiconductor production and increased inventory due to decreasing sales. The second

It has adapted the need of the market by leveraging all the possible ways to deliver the software solution hassle-free. From installing software using a CD-ROM or USB Flash Drive to installing over the internet, the ease of accessing
Hi, I am Chetan Arvind Patil (chay-tun – how to pronounce), a semiconductor professional whose job is turning data into products for the semiconductor industry that powers billions of devices around the world. And while I like what I do, I also enjoy biking, working on few ideas, apart from writing, and talking about interesting developments in hardware, software, semiconductor and technology.
