Revolutionizing SoC Design: The Shift to Chiplet-Based Architectures

The semiconductor industry is undergoing a major transformation from traditional monolithic system-on-chip (SoC) architectures to modular, chiplet-based designs. This shift aims to mitigate the complexities associated with scaling designs, optimizing yields, and addressing rising fabrication costs. Economic drivers, such as increasing transistor costs and diminishing returns from Moore’s Law, are fueling this transition. To navigate this change, the industry needs advanced solutions that address a wide range of system requirements and facilitate efficient design through integrated architecture, tools, flows, and system IP.

Discover how to expedite your SoC designs with our advanced chiplet-based reference platform. The industry is currently witnessing the convergence of two seemingly opposing trends: the move towards high-performance, centralized computation (e.g., enabling software-defined vehicles) and the fragmentation of computation into discrete chiplets that can be independently verified and certified. Our multi-chiplet-based architecture addresses both demands by incorporating high-performance compute chiplets and ensuring interoperability. In this presentation, we will unveil our reference platform architecture and illustrate how we have adopted an analytical approach to tackle the challenge of system-in-package (SiP) trustworthiness.
