Stimulating Inspiration
Their inspiration comes from the need for change or the
need to refresh the technology of the future. The
technological advancements in mobiles, tablets,
smartwatches and other similar devices in the first decade
of the 21st century gave prominence to ASIC designs. A
prerequisite to this increasing complexity is critically
optimizing each processor core in an SoC (System-On-
Chip) to meet the power, performance, area (PPA), yield,
and application-specific cost goal.
It is necessitated by the typical requirement from a client in
the VLSI universe - the need to provide the best possible
PPAL (Power, Performance, Area and Leakage - global
metrics of Semiconductor Design) in the shortest time
frame. This is the sweet spot all design houses try to
achieve during project execution, and DXCorr overcomes
this constant challenge for every project with utmost
efficiency. Thanks to its battle-tested core of domain experts
and its enviable suite of in-house tools, successful projects

problems. With innovation and out-of-the-box thinking
being the focus, DXCorr is poised to bring revolutionary
changes to the industry.
Breaking the Barriers
The foremost challenge DXCorr faces is that as technology
nodes shrink to less than 2nm, the need for lower supply
and lower power design becomes paramount. Low-power
design demands fresher approaches and architectural
changes depending on the specifications of their clients.
Estimation of each factor, mainly power, depends on the
number of elements in the design, the toggle frequency of
each component, specific cells used, manufacturing
variance, operating temperature, etc.
“Power(P), Performance (P), Area(A), Leakage(L) is the
first and foremost estimation that we budget during the very
first phase of the project. As we get the estimations, multiple
architectural topologies are analyzed to ensure
comparisons between them,” he says. In fact, several low-
power design techniques are used, such as multiple VDD,
frequency and voltage scaling, clock gating, power gating,
etc. This method of exploration helps to analyze and
characterize each Process Design Kit (PDK) depending on
product specification requirements.
Adept Advice
In his advice to budding professionals aspiring to venture
into the semiconductor sector, Nirmalya says the facts and
surveys show that there is a global scarcity in the
semiconductor industry, which ultimately results in the
industry's long-term future security and its commitment to
expand and be driven by the communications, data
processing, and automotive sectors. The semiconductor
business is in high demand due to the urgent need for
Integrated Circuits (ICs) in all domains, ranging from
Telecommunication to Defence. Therefore, it’s advisable to
start a career in the semiconductor sector rather than
choosing a conventional IT/Software role.
