ASIC Design Services and Siemens Industry Software hosted the Smart Manufacturing for Electronics Assembly seminar at the Kleinkaap Boutique Hotel in Centurion on 14th May. The international guest speaker was Jean-Paul Dirven, Assembly Portfolio Development Executive for EMEA, Siemens Digital Industries Software from Belgium. This was Jean-Paul’s second visit to South Africa since the official launch of the Valor software from Siemens in 2022. The seminar was well supported by the local industry with representation by 10 electronic assembly companies, a leading stencil manufacturer and several electronic component distributors.

Commenting on a very successful seminar, Tony Dal Maso, the CEO of ASIC Design Services said: “We are thrilled to see the response from our electronic assembly industry, who show great interest in the digitalization of the industry and recognize the importance of adopting Industry 4.0. We wish to thank all the delegates who attended and are grateful for the support provided by the electronic assembly companies. With more than 35 years experience in the assembly industry, we are truly privileged to have had Jean-Paul Dirven visit South Africa again. Customers found Jean-Paul to be very knowledgeable and insightful in the various site visits we conducted. As a result of the seminars and site visits we are seeing good adoption of Valor software solutions and a high level of interest across the industry.”

VHDL TRAINING COURSE

3 day VHDL for Designer
4 – 6 June 2024
R25,900 excl. VAT

ASIC Design Service is a Certified Training Provider and we have been delivering Doulos training courses in South Africa since 2009.
(visit www.doulos.com).

Training course material includes comprehensive manuals and the “VHDL Golden Reference Guide”, which delegates find very useful.

• VHDL for Designers (3 days) prepares the engineer for practical project readiness for FPGA designs. While the emphasis is on the practical VHDL-to-hardware flow for FPGA devices, this module also provides the essential foundation needed by ASIC and FPGA designers wishing to apply the more advanced features of VHDL covered in the next module. Delegates targeting FPGAs will take away a flexible project infrastructure which includes a set of scripts, example designs, modules and constraint files to use, adapt and extend on their own projects.

Venue: Centurion, Clubview,

** NEWS RELEASE**
MICROCHIP TECHNOLY ACQUIRES NEURONIX AI LABS

Innovative technology enhances AI-enabled intelligent edge solutions and increases neural networking capabilities

CHANDLER, Ariz., April 15, 2024 — Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) has acquired Neuronix AI Labs to expand its capabilities for power-efficient, AI-enabled edge solutions deployed on field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Neuronix AI Labs provides neural network sparsity optimization technology that enables a reduction in power, size and calculations for tasks such as image classification, object detection and semantic segmentation, while maintaining high accuracy.

Microchip’s mid-range PolarFire® FPGAs and SoCs already lead the industry in terms of low power consumption, reliability and security capabilities. The acquisition of this technology will enable Microchip to develop cost-effective, large-scale edge deployments of components designed for use in computer-vision applications on systems that have cost, size and power constraints and enable a multifold increase in AI/ML processing horsepower on low and mid-range FPGAs.

“The acquisition of Neuronix AI Labs’ technology will enhance our power efficiency for FPGAs and SoCs deployed in intelligent edge systems that utilize AI/ML algorithms,” said Bruce Weyer, corporate vice president of Microchip’s FPGA business unit. “Neuronix technology combined with our VectorBlox™ design flow produces an increase in neural network performance efficiency and delivers outstanding GOPS/watt performance in our low-power PolarFire FPGAs and SoCs. Systems designers will now be able to architect and deploy small-footprint hardware that was previously difficult to build due to size, thermal or power constraints.”

The acquisition of this technology will allow non-FPGA designers to harness powerful parallel processing capabilities using industry-standard AI frameworks without requiring in-depth knowledge of FPGA design flow. The combination of Neuronix AI intellectual property and Microchip’s existing compilers and software design kits allows for AI/ML algorithms to be implemented on customizable FPGA logic without a need for resistor-transition level (RTL) expertise or intimate knowledge of the underlying FPGA fabric. It is also designed to allow for updating and upgrading CNNs on the fly without needing to reprogram hardware.

“Neuronix AI Labs has been laser-focused on producing best-in-class neural network acceleration architectures and algorithms that can transform user expectations of size, power, performance and cost,” said Yaron Raz, CEO of Neuronix AI Labs. “Joining the Microchip team offers us a unique opportunity to scale and align with an FPGA portfolio that has set industry standards for power efficiency.”

VHDL TRAINING COURSE 💻

3 day VHDL for Designer
4 – 6 March 2024
R25,900 excl. VAT

2 day Advanced VHDL
22 – 23 April 2024
R19,600 excl. VAT

These courses are from Doulos, a leading VHDL training company based in the UK (visit www.doulos.com).

ASIC Design Service is a Certified Training Provider and we have been delivering Doulos training courses in South Africa since 2009.
Training course material includes comprehensive manuals and the “VHDL Golden Reference Guide”, which delegates find very useful.

Delegates targeting FPGAs will take away a flexible project infrastructure which includes a set of scripts, example designs, modules and constraint files to use, adapt and extend on their own projects.

• VHDL for Designer course is a pre-requisite for the Advanced VHDL course. Advanced VHDL (2 days) builds on the foundation of the previous module to prepare the engineer for complex FPGA or ASIC design. It focuses on the use of VHDL for large hierarchical designs, design re-use, and the creation of more powerful test benches.

📌Venue: Centurion, Clubview,
Cape Town is also a possibility (will depend on number of delegates interested)
