Why Chiplets with UCIe are the Next Big Thing
November 14, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm PST
Artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) require fast, efficient, low-power technologies. Transistors are becoming harder and harder to shrink, so chiplets are a promising alternative. Chiplets are small, modular dies that use UCIe, an open industry standard, to communicate with each other. Combined in a Systems-on-Package (SoP), they provide superior performance, reduced power consumption, and increased design flexibility for customized applications such as cell phones, autonomous vehicles, etc. In this panel session, signal and power integrity experts will discuss:
- Industry trends and why chiplets with UCIe are the next big thing.
- Signal and power integrity considerations when integrating chiplets and UCIe interfaces.
- EDA tools evolved, and how to streamline chiplets integration into the design workflow.
