Cybersecurity Metrics: The Path To OT Security Maturity


In 2023, the cybersecurity challenges in the Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) landscape reached unprecedented levels. Ransomware, increasingly prevalent through new Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) models, became a widespread and costly headache. While some might argue this exaggerates the risk, the growing demand for defenses is not overstated. 2024 continues to b... » read more

RISC-V Unleashes Your Imagination


Since October 2020, Renesas has been officially active in the RISC-V microcontroller space and successfully launched two ASSP products, for motor control and voice-driven HMI systems. Now a general-purpose MCU enhances the RISC-V portfolio. It is the first MCU using a RISC-V core developed internally at Renesas. The R9A02G021 general-purpose microcontroller features an interesting mix of an... » read more

Protecting Automotive Power Distribution


It was on a warm summer’s evening aboard a cruise boat on one of Austria’s most beautiful lakes that I was co-hosting an Infineon event to conclude a professional experience week for a group of around 50 students from technical high schools in the region. It was time for the final round for us to showcase our creations. Smaller groups of around 10 students went from co-host to co-host, a... » read more

Paradigms Of Large Language Model Applications In Functional Verification


This paper presents a comprehensive literature review for applying large language models (LLM) in multiple aspects of functional verification. Despite the promising advancements offered by this new technology, it is essential to be aware of the inherent limitations of LLMs, especially hallucination that may lead to incorrect predictions. To ensure the quality of LLM outputs, four safeguarding p... » read more

HBM3E Memory: Break Through to Greater Bandwidth


Delivering unrivaled memory bandwidth in a compact, high-capacity footprint, has made HBM the memory of choice for AI training. HBM3 is the third major generation of the HBM standard, with HBM3E offering an extended data rate and the same feature set. The Rambus HBM3E/3 Controller provides industry-leading performance to 9.6 Gb/s, enabling a memory throughput of over 1.23 TB/s for training reco... » read more

Faster And Better Floorplanning With ML-Based Macro Placement


The chips contained in today’s consumer and commercial electronic products are staggering in size and complexity. The largest devices include central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), and system-on-chip (SoC) devices that integrate many functions on a single die. Additionally, chips are expanding beyond their traditional borders with multi-die approaches such as 2.5DI... » read more

Enabling The Next Generation Of Smarter Self-Navigating Robots Using Hybrid ToF Technology


Previous generations of robot vacuum cleaners have used a random pattern for cleaning that is inefficient and slow. Next-generation robots are much smarter and generate a map of the environment using sensors to localize themselves. This provides users with a floorplan of their home, from which the rooms and areas can be selected for cleaning or restricted from access. The new robots accomplish ... » read more

Ultimate Guide To Machine Learning For Embedded Systems


Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence which gives computers an ability to learn from data in an iterative manner using different techniques. Our aim here being to learn and predict from data. This is a big diversion from other fields which poses the limitation of programming instructions instead of learning from them. Machine learning in embedded systems specifically target ... » read more

V2X Security Is Multi-faceted, And Not All There


Experts at the Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss Vehicle-To-Everything (V2X) technology and potential security issues, with Shawn Carpenter, program director, 5G and space at Ansys; Lang Lin, principal product manager at Ansys; Daniel Dalpiaz, senior manager product marketing, Americas, green industrial power division at Infineon; David Fritz, vice president of virtual and hy... » read more
