Research Bits: May 13
By Jesse Allen - 13 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

On-chip microcapacitors Scientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and University of California Berkeley developed microcapacitors with ultrahigh energy and power density that could be used for on-chip energy storage. The microcapacitors were made with thin films of hafnium oxide (HfO2) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2) engineered to achieve a negative capacitance effect, which increase... » read more

Reset Domain Crossing Verification
By Reetika - 13 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

By Reetika and Sulabh Kumar Khare To meet low-power and high-performance requirements, system on chip (SoC) designs are equipped with several asynchronous and soft reset signals. These reset signals help to safeguard software and hardware functional safety as they can be asserted to speedily recover the system onboard to an initial state and clear any pending errors or events. By definiti... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 10 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

Synopsys refocused its security priorities around chips, striking a deal to sell off its Software Integrity Group subsidiary to private equity firms Clearlake Capital Group and Francisco Partners for about $2.1 billion. That deal comes on the heels of Synopsys' recent acquisition of Intrinsic ID, which develops physical unclonable function IP. Sassine Ghazi, Synopsys' president and CEO, said in... » read more

SRAM Security Concerns Grow
By Karen Heyman - 09 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

SRAM security concerns are intensifying as a combination of new and existing techniques allow hackers to tap into data for longer periods of time after a device is powered down. This is particularly alarming as the leading edge of design shifts from planar SoCs to heterogeneous systems in package, such as those used in AI or edge processing, where chiplets frequently have their own memory hi... » read more

Securing AI In The Data Center
By Bart Stevens - 09 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

AI has permeated virtually every aspect of our digital lives, from personalized recommendations on streaming platforms to advanced medical diagnostics. Behind the scenes of this AI revolution lies the data center, which houses the hardware, software, and networking infrastructure necessary for training and deploying AI models. Securing AI in the data center relies on data confidentiality, integ... » read more

Using AI/ML To Combat Cyberattacks
By John Koon - 09 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

Machine learning is being used by hackers to find weaknesses in chips and systems, but it also is starting to be used to prevent breaches by pinpointing hardware and software design flaws. To make this work, machine learning (ML) must be trained to identify vulnerabilities, both in hardware and software. With proper training, ML can detect cyber threats and prevent them from accessing critic... » read more

Overcoming Chiplet Integration Challenges With Adaptability
By Jayson Bethurem - 09 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

Chiplets are exploding in popularity due to key benefits such as lower cost, lower power, higher performance and greater flexibility to meet specific market requirements. More importantly, chiplets can reduce time-to-market, thus decreasing time-to-revenue! Heterogeneous and modular SoC design can accelerate innovation and adaptation for many companies. What’s not to like about chiplets? Well... » read more

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the impact of these changes with Suraj Gajendra, vice president of products and solutions in Arm's automotive line of business; Chuck Alpert, R&D automotive fellow at Cadence; Steve Spadon... » read more

Enhancing HMI Security: How To Protect ICS Environments From Cyber Threats
By Jim Montgomery - 09 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

HMIs (Human Machine Interfaces) can be broadly defined as just about anything that allows humans to interface with their machines, and so are found throughout the technical world. In OT environments, operators use various HMIs to interact with industrial control systems in order to direct and monitor the operational systems. And wherever humans and machines intersect, security problems can ensu... » read more
