Learn how grounding can determine how a measurement system should be connected for the most accurate measurements. Article topics include grounded signal sources, floating signal sources, differential measurements, single-ended measurements, and the proper signal and measurement configuration. This tutorial is part of the Instrument Fundamentals series. To read more, click here. » read more

Getting Serious About Chiplets
By Ann Mutschler - 08 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

Demand for increasingly complex computation, more features, lower power, and shorter lifecycles are prompting chipmakers to examine how standardized hard IP can be used to quickly assemble systems for specific applications. The idea of using chiplets, with or without a package, has been circulating for at least a half-dozen years, and they can trace their origin back to IBM's packaging schem... » read more

The Quantum Man Effect
By Judy Davies - 08 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

Recently I saw an art exhibit by one of my favorite artists, Julian Voss-Andreae, a German-born sculptor now living and working in Portland, Oregon. In addition to sculpting, he has studied physics, mathematics and philosophy. His background in science has informed and influenced his career in the arts, leading to his creation of pieces such as protein sculptures, based on frames of a protein f... » read more

Written for automotive OEMs and suppliers, this whitepaper gives an overview of design-for-test (DFT) technology. Among the topics addressed: Why is DFT important in IC design generally and critical for creating automotive ICs in particular? And how does the new Tessent MissionMode technology, teamed with some of Mentor’s other DFT offerings, pave the way for the automotive industry to develo... » read more

How To Deal With The Flood Of Analog Data
By Daniel Parrott - 08 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

Analog data from a variety of sensors and other devices is a huge problem. Here are three approaches to overcoming the problems that big analog data can cause. Approach 1: Analyze at the Edge A lot of data can be collected at the point of capture, but most of it’s uninteresting. You can save and analyze it all or you can take advantage of intelligent embedded software that constantly meas... » read more

The Week In Review: Design
By Jesse Allen - 05 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 1

Security Security researchers identified a major exploit of the "speculative execution" technique used to optimize performance in modern processors. The flaws allow an attacker to read sensitive information in the system's memory such as passwords, encryption keys, or sensitive information open in applications, according to Google's Jann Horn. Multiple researchers discovered the issues indepen... » read more

Can Autonomous Cars Get Around The Corner?
By Ed Sperling - 04 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

With all the buzz about autonomous vehicles, one big problem still remains. People and autonomous vehicles don't get along well together. Cars are predictable. People are not. Cars behave according to a predetermined set of rules. People look for opportunities and take them, even if they're sometimes not the wisest choice, such as passing around a blind curve or driving too fast on slippery ... » read more
