Chip/Package/Board Co-Design and Co-Analysis: Moving from Spreadsheets to EDA

DAC 2016:

Description

SoC development has become more than just silicon design. Today, successful SoC design requires consideration of the electrical, thermal, and mechanical interactions of the chip, the package and the board. This is especially true for silicon-in-package designs and 3D designs such as Hybrid Memory Cubes and High Bandwidth Memories. Co-design of the silicon and the package has become essential. This panel will present and discuss different challenges with and approaches to co-design and co-analysis.
