Using High-Quality Deterministic Patterns For In-System/In-Field Testing
By Siemens EDA - 10 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

Logic BIST (LBIST) is a well-stablished traditional solution for meeting automotive testing standards. However, using pseudo-random LBIST patterns can be challenging when trying to achieve high-quality testing due to the increased complexity of designs. The growing amount of electronic content, along with the shift toward fully autonomous vehicles, demands stringent testing requirements. In-... » read more

Detecting Slips, Scratches, Cracks In Wafers And Dies Becoming Harder
By Anne Meixner - 10 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

Defect detection requirements on the order of 10 defective parts per million (DPPM) are driving improvements in inspection tools’ resolution and throughput at foundries and OSATs. However, defects that manifest as slips, scratches, and micro-cracks continue to bedevil the prevalent optical inspection methods. These defects can range in size from nanometers to millimeters, some of which are... » read more

Enhancing Dexterous Humanoid Robot Hands With Superior Touch ICs
By Synaptics - 09 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

New Paths to Human-Level Dexterity Humanoid robots and other general-purpose robotic platforms have made astonishing progress in locomotion and perception. Some can now run, jump, and even perform flips, while advanced computer vision enables object recognition at scale. Yet true human-level dexterity requires more than just bipedal agility or high-resolution cameras: it demands a refined s... » read more

10Base-T1S Ethernet And The Use Of MACsec For Link Security
By Maxim Demchenko - 08 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

10Base-T1S (henceforth in this blog referred to as T1S) is a relatively new standard for a 10Mbit/s single-pair Ethernet over an unshielded, single-twisted pair that was introduced with the IEEE 802.3cg-2019 specification. It brings Ethernet technology into the low-cost, edge applications space, enabling connection of “edge nodes” (remote sensors, actuators, light controls, etc.) to a “he... » read more

Shrinking LLMs With Self-Compression
By Jakub Przybyl - 08 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

Language models are becoming ever larger, making on-device inference slow and energy-intensive. A direct and surprisingly effective remedy is to prune complete channels whose contribution to the task is negligible. Our earlier work introduced a training-time procedure – Self-Compression [1, 4] – that lets back-propagation decide the bit-width of every channel, so unhelpful ones fade away. T... » read more
