Integrating Energy Efficiency Considerations Into Your Design From The Beginning
By William Ruby - 11 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

Data center networking is responsible for consuming about 1% of the global electricity supply. With the advent and integration of AI into various sectors, the pressure on both hardware and software infrastructures, necessitated by neural networks and extensive language models, is expected to increase significantly. The burgeoning energy consumption by hyperscale data centers emerges as an ur... » read more

New Memory Architecture For Local Differential Privacy in Hardware
By Technical Paper Link - 02 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

A technical paper titled "Two Birds with One Stone: Differential Privacy by Low-power SRAM Memory" was published by researchers at North Carolina State University, University of South Alabama, and University of Tennessee. Abstract "The software-based implementation of differential privacy mechanisms has been shown to be neither friendly for lightweight devices nor secure against side-channe... » read more

MIPI Deployment In Ultra-Low-Power Streaming Sensors
By Mixel - 13 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

Streams of data from higher-speed sensors pose throughput and latency challenges for designers. However, optimizing a design for those criteria can come at the expense of increased power consumption if not conceived and executed carefully. A device like a high-resolution, high-frame-rate home security camera in a non-wired application requiring frequent battery changes or recharging will likely... » read more

Maximizing Energy Efficiency For Automotive Chips
By William Ruby - 07 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

Silicon chips are central to today’s sophisticated advanced driver assistance systems, smart safety features, and immersive infotainment systems. Industry sources estimate that now there are over 1,000 integrated circuits (ICs), or chips, in an average ICE car, and twice as many in an average EV. Such a large amount of electronics translates into kilowatts of power being consumed – equiva... » read more

Experts at the Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to talk about the impact of off-chip memory on power and heat, and what can be done to optimize performance, with Frank Ferro, group director, product management at Cadence; Steven Woo, fellow and distinguished inventor at Rambus; Jongsin Yun, memory technologist at Siemens EDA; Randy White, memory solutions program manager at Keysight; a... » read more

IoT Building Block: Touch Interface HMI
By Jason Chien - 08 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

Many IoT devices have started to include touch screen interfaces as part of their UI to make the devices more intuitive and easier to use. A great interface can make customers really love and want to use your IoT product, but a poor HMI interface makes the device unusable damaging the brand value. Given this impact a touch interface can have on your IoT device, it made me wonder what are the... » read more

RTL Optimization Best Practices Help To Achieve Power Goals And Identify Reliability Issues Earlier
By Qazi Faheem Ahmed - 09 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

Designers face enormous challenges for low-power designs. Whether it is IoT at the edge, AI in the datacenter, robotics or ADAS, the demand for increased functionality and higher performance in SoCs is rapidly stretching power budgets to their breaking point. Power must be considered at every stage of chip design. Waiting to address power until late in the design cycle – post-netlist or durin... » read more

Developing Energy-Efficient AI Accelerators For Intelligent Edge Computing And Data Centers
By William Ruby - 10 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

Artificial intelligence (AI) accelerators are deployed in data centers and at the edge to overcome conventional von Neumann bottlenecks by rapidly processing petabytes of information. Even as Moore’s law slows, AI accelerators continue to efficiently enable key applications that many of us increasingly rely on, from ChatGPT and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to smart edge device... » read more

A Highly Wasteful Industry
By Brian Bailey - 25 May, 2023 - Comments: 1

The systems industry as a whole is not concerned about power. I know that is a bold statement, but I believe it to be true. The semiconductor industry is mildly concerned, but only indirectly. They care about power because thermal issues are limiting the functionality they can squeeze onto a chip, or in a package. Some users, such as data center operators, claim to care about power because i... » read more

Achieving Your Low Power Goals With Synopsys Ultra Low Leakage IO
By Synopsys - 10 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

The demand for low power design has intensified with shrinking geometries. At the same time, innovation in battery operated, handheld devices has increased the design complexity by adding more and more functionality. The focus is on power-optimized designs while maintaining low cost and reduced risk. Designers face these complex and contradictory challenges: developing products with the lowest ... » read more
