Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 28 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) outlined its plan for a National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC) to be created using a share of the $11 billion in funds from the CHIPS Act marked for research and development. While a large portion of the CHIPS Act investment is set to boost U.S. fabs and manufacturing capabilities, the NSTC aims to also support the design side, ... » read more

Meminductor identified Researchers at Texas A&M University identified the meminductor circuit unit. Similar to the memristor and the memcapacitor, a meminductor has a memory-like nature where its properties are dependent on previous values. The resistor, capacitor, and inductor comprise the three classical circuit elements. The memristor and the memcapacitor, while earlier theorized, ha... » read more

Synopsys's Gordon Cooper argues that AI transformer models, initially developed for natural language processing such as translation and question answering, are starting to make inroads in the computer vision application landscape and changing the direction of deep-learning architectures. Siemens' Patrick Hope shows how to identify opportunities to optimize a PCB design through the creation o... » read more

Startup Funding: March 2023
By Jesse Allen - 05 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

Funding was broadly spread between sectors in March, with automotive edging ahead thanks to a more than $100 million round for a company manufacturing electric, autonomous heavy commercial trucks for freight logistics. To keep up with the amount of information presented by cars and ADAS, several companies raised funds for head-up displays with increasing levels of detail and expanded fields of ... » read more
