Steps Involved in Place and Route: From Logic to Silicon Physical Design transforms a gate-level netlist into a GDSII format, where logical connectivity becomes physical.  Here’s 4 step process: 1.⁠ ⁠Floor Planning: A well-executed floor plan results in an ASIC design with higher performance and optimal area utilization.The quality of the chip or design implementation heavily depends on the effectiveness of the floor plan. Strategically place macros (memories, analog blocks) around the core for enhanced efficiency. Manual placement for a few macros and automatic for many. 2.⁠ ⁠Placement: This stage of physical design flow involves positioning the standard cells on the chip layout and aims to optimize various design metrics, such as timing, congestion, and power consumption. 3.⁠ ⁠Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS): Connecting clocks to all clock pins using inverters/buffers to balance skew and minimize insertion delay. Ensuring all clock pins are driven by a single clock source for optimal performance. 4.⁠ ⁠Routing: Creating physical connections between signal pins by following design rules (DRC) for the target technology. Lay out interconnect wires to establish required connections without open connections or shorts. Streamline these steps to create faster, more reliable, and power-efficient circuits. #ASICDesign #PhysicalDesign #FloorPlanning #Placement #ClockTreeSynthesis #CTS #Routing #Semiconductor #VLSI

Wishing all the young minds out there a happy World Youth Skills Day. With 1.2 billion young people worldwide, their contributions are vital for overcoming divisions and shaping our shared future. What role can youth play in building peace? We often underestimate their power to be agents of change. Yet, the energy, passion, and innovation of youth are unmatched. Now more than ever, we must invest in youth skills and education. On World Youth Skills Day, we celebrate the potential of young minds to build a more just and equitable world. When youth are empowered with education and skills training, they gain the tools to make their voices heard and drive progress. Let's pledge to support young changemakers. We can advocate for increased funding for youth programs, volunteer as mentors, or create internships and training opportunities. At BITSILICA, we are proud to nurture young talent and will continue equipping youth with the skills to drive progress. Together, we can build a more just, sustainable, and harmonious world—one where every young person can achieve their full potential. The future rests in their hands. #WorldYouthSkillsDay #YouthEmpowerment #Bitsilica #YouthDevelopment #SupportYoungMinds #FutureLeaders #SkillsTraining #VISI #AI #Technology

Reflecting on my participation in the "Conversation with Karnataka Chief Minister" program, I feel truly fortunate to have been invited. The Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri Siddaramaiah, Hon'ble Deputy Cheif Miniter D.K. Sivakumar, IT&BT Minister Shri Priyank Kharge engaged with over 200 CEOs from leading IT, Biotech, Electronics & Semiconductor organizations, and startups, gathering industry insights and suggestions to enhance Karnataka's technology ecosystem and policies. This set the tone for the upcoming Bengaluru Tech Summit in November 2024. I was amazed by the keen interest shown by the IT Minister, Chief Minister, and Deputy Chief Minister, who spent more than four hours with uninterrupted focus, understanding key progress and challenges faced by the industry. It’s rare to see the heads of government directly interacting with CEOs and industry leaders, responding to their questions, and discussing potential solutions. The India Electronics and Semiconductor Association had ample time to present the expectations of the Electronics and Semiconductor industry to the government, including proposals for Composite Semiconductor Fabs, System Integration Labs, a focus on the passive components ecosystem under the #OSAT roadmap, #GCC (Global Capabilities Centers), the foundry equipment ecosystem, and a request for 200 tapeouts sponsorships for college students in #VLSI courses. Malini Narayanamoorthi rightly emphasized the need to enable and reenable women in the semiconductor industry. Increasing women’s participation, especially post-maternity, by addressing challenges related to returning to work and ensuring childcare schedules align with work schedules, is crucial for maintaining continuity. It was a memorable meetup with industry leaders and policymakers. Thank you, #IESA and #BTS, for the opportunity to be part of such meaningful conversations. #BTS2024 #BTSUnbound #BengaluruTechSummit #BreakingBoundaries

Imagine you are responsible for managing OTA updates for a fleet of IoT devices. Each device has a firmware version size of 1.5 MB. To ensure minimal impact on device operation, updates are transmitted during a nightly low-activity period lasting 2 hours. Calculate the maximum number of devices that can be updated in one night if the network bandwidth allocated for updates is 12 Mbps.

At BITSILICA, our employees are more than just talented professionals—they're also skilled artisans! Recently, one of our team members, Swamy, surprised our CEO Bhaskar Kakani and colleagues with beautiful handmade crafts, spreading joy and appreciation throughout the office. We're deeply grateful for the thought and effort that went into each unique gift. Swamy v shares his story: "Engaging in creative pursuits outside of our daily routines can have a profound impact on our well-being and productivity. For me, crafting has become a beloved hobby that allows me to think outside the box and tap into my creativity. It all started during my B.Tech studies when I needed a pen holder, sparking my interest in craft work. Encouraged by my loved ones, this hobby has evolved into a passion that keeps my mind active and inspired. I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had at Bitsilica to grow and develop in the VLSI field. As a token of my appreciation for the support and guidance I've received, I'd like to present a handmade craft piece as a small gesture of my gratitude. This craft represents not only my appreciation but also the creative spark that Bitsilica has helped nurture within me." #EmployeeSpotlight #CraftingCreativity #HandmadeGifts #TalentedTeam #BitsilicaStories #VLSICreativity #InspiredEmployees #OfficeHappiness #WorkLifeBalance
