Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Liz Allan - 21 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 0

The Biden-Harris Administration announced the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark, a cybersecurity certification and labeling program to help consumers choose smart devices less vulnerable to cyberattacks. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is applying to register the Cyber Trust Mark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and it would appear on qualifying smart products, including refrigerators,... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Susan Rambo - 10 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

General Motors (GM) made a deal with GlobalFoundries (GF) to have chips made at the U.S.-based foundry in upstate New York for GM’s key suppliers. GF will expand its production capabilities exclusively for GM’s supply chain, while GM promises to bring economies of scale through its strategy to reduce the unique types of chips needed in products. J.D. Power released its 2023 U.S. Vehicle ... » read more

Week In Review: Manufacturing, Test
By Mark LaPedus - 01 Oct, 2021 - Comments: 0

Market research For some time, the semiconductor industry has experienced acute shortages. The automotive industry has suffered the most. When will this all end? “Shortages have become more acute for many products in the near term because the growth in demand is greater than the increase in wafer and packaging capacity that was anticipated by the foundry and semiconductor vendors. To date... » read more

Chipmakers, OEMs Reports have surfaced that TSMC has delayed its 3nm process. But TSMC says the technology remains on track. Volume production for TSMC’s 3nm is still scheduled for the second half of 2022. On the flip side, there is speculation that TSMC may increase its wafer prices by up to 20%, according to a report from the Taipei Times. Here's another report. This is due to chip shortag... » read more

How Will Future Cars Interact With Humans?
By Bryon Moyer - 03 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

Future automobiles may come with a set of controls very different from what we’re used to now. Mechanical knobs and switches already are being replaced by touchscreens, but that's just the beginning. There are a multitude of other possible ways in which drivers can interact with their vehicles, and the list is growing as technology drives down the cost of this new human-machine interface (... » read more

The Paradox Of Automotive Electronics
By Ed Sperling - 12 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 6

There is a huge problem brewing in the automotive world. Automakers are demanding quality parts, but they're using methods and strategies developed in the steel age when suppliers were metal benders, not developers of advanced electronics. Automakers are correct in that the quality of electronics is poor. A 2018 report by J.D. Power showed that overall car reliability is improving year over ... » read more

Reliability Becomes The Top Concern In Automotive
By Ed Sperling And Susan Rambo - 12 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 4

Reliability is emerging as the top priority across the hottest growth markets for semiconductors, including automotive, industrial and cloud-based computing. But instead of replacing chips every two to four years, some of those devices are expected to survive for up to 20 years, even with higher usage in sometimes extreme environmental conditions. This shift in priorities has broad ramificat... » read more

Finding Faulty Auto Chips
By Mark LaPedus - 05 Mar, 2018 - Comments: 1

The next wave of automotive chips for assisted and autonomous driving is fueling the development of new approaches in a critical field called outlier detection. KLA-Tencor, Optimal+, as well as Mentor, a Siemens Business, and others are entering or expanding their efforts in the outlier detection market or related fields. Used in various industries for several years, outlier detection is one... » read more

IoT Growing Pains
By Ed Sperling - 04 Sep, 2014 - Comments: 0

The Internet of Things is having one of those defining moments — and not in a good way. Only a limited number of things will work together at first. Only in rare case will they actually cross boundaries between vertical markets such as consumer or home, automotive and medical. And in no cases will there be any guarantees, at least in the short term, that communications will be reliable, secur... » read more
