Keysight Upgrades Chiplet PHY Designer With Enhanced Support

Keysight Technologies, Inc. KEYS recently launched the latest version of its Chiplet PHY Designer 2025, a cutting-edge solution for enhancing high-speed digital chiplet design for AI and data center applications. This upgraded software brings simulation capabilities for the Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) 2.0 standard and adds support for the Open Computer Project Bunch of Wires (BoW) standard, enabling designers to perform pre-silicon validation and facilitate a smoother transition to tapeout.Key Takeaways From KEYS’ LaunchAs semiconductor designs for AI and data center applications become increasingly complex, ensuring robust communication between chiplets is critical for performance. Open standards like UCIe and BoW are emerging as key solutions to define the interconnects between chiplets in advanced 2.5D/3D packaging. Being the industry's first electronic design automation tool to provide comprehensive modeling and simulation capabilities, it enables chiplet designers to efficiently and accurately verify the compliance of their designs, ultimately lowering costs and development risks in semiconductor manufacturing.Another key benefit of the Chiplet PHY Designer is the significant acceleration of time-to-market. The solution automates the simulation and compliance testing processes, including the setup of critical tests like Voltage Transfer Function analysis. This process reduces manual effort, speeds up the validation process and allows design teams to focus on other aspects of their chips. By removing some of the bottlenecks associated with chiplet design, engineers can meet deadlines and bring their products to market faster.With the latest software, engineers can get valuable insights into several critical parameters, such as signal integrity, bit error rate and crosstalk. These insights are crucial for identifying potential issues before silicon is manufactured, helping to avoid costly re-spins and reducing the risk of performance failures in the final product. Moreover, the Chiplet PHY Designer optimizes the clocking designs, particularly for high-speed interconnects. The tool supports analysis of advanced clocking techniques like quarter-rate data rate, which is important for ensuring precise synchronization and minimizing signal timing errors. This capability allows designers to ensure the seamless operation of chiplets in complex systems.Will Strong Portfolio Additions Aid KEYS’ Prospects?Keysight's cutting-edge solutions are shaping the future of connectivity across diverse sectors, from enhancing network visibility for telecom providers to certifying the next generation of wired connectivity and optimizing workflows for research facilities.
