How AI helps Siemens EDA realize accelerated creation of "core"?

Image
If the global economic problems make every link of the semiconductor industry face challenges, then as the top of the industry chain - EDA software must have undertaken the most pressure and hope. how is the market environment in the AI era, and what are the challenges that the semiconductor industry will face? There have been four waves of downward nodes in the industry in 20 years: the economic crisis, the U.S. financial crisis, the new crown epidemic, and today's downward pressure on the economy in the post-epidemic era. The first wave was the U-shaped recession, which was the bursting of the Internet bubble, and it took several years for the industry to slowly (2002/2003) recover from the U-shaped recession. The second wave was the U.S. financial crisis, when the EDA industry wondered if it would lead to a prolonged winter in the semiconductor industry. Later, it was proved that this V-shaped, although the decline was very fierce, but also quickly recovered, due to the state

Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) Overview

What is Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) A Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) is a specialized semiconductor device designed to manage and control the power supply and power consumption of various components within electronic devices, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, IoT devices, and other battery-powered or energy-efficient devices. PMICs play a crucial role in optimizing power efficiency, extending battery life, and ensuring the proper functioning of these devices. Power Management Integrated Circuit Features Here are some common features you can find in PMICs: Multiple Voltage Rails: PMICs provide various voltage outputs to power different components of the device. Voltage Regulation: They regulate and stabilize output voltages to ensure that electronic components receive the correct power supply. Battery Management: PMICs often include battery charging and monitoring functions, such as overcharge protection, fuel gauging, and charging profiles. Power Sequen
