Dealing With Noise In Image Sensors


The expanding use and importance of image sensors in safety-critical applications such as automotive and medical devices has transformed noise from an annoyance into a life-threatening problem that requires a real-time solution. In consumer cameras, noise typically results in grainy images, often associated with poor lighting, the speed at which an image is captured, or a faulty sensor. Typi... » read more

Role For ICs Expands In Humanoid Robots


Semiconductors play a crucial role in the development and functionality of humanoid robots. Humanoid robots are advanced machines designed to resemble and perform tasks similar to humans. The integration of semiconductors in humanoid robots contributes to their sensory perception, processing capabilities, and overall functionality. Robots are used in everything from security and defense, to ... » read more

The Proliferation Of Bluetooth In V2X Automotive Applications


V2X, or “Vehicle to Everything,” applies to wireless communication between a vehicle and a specific entity or network. Although vehicle-to-vehicle communication projects can be traced back to the 1970s, more recently the IEEE WLAN V2X specifications released in 2010 and the 3GPP V2X specification published in 2016 have defined specific wireless standards for V2X communications. Most of the ... » read more

Expand Your Semiconductor’s Market With Programmable Data Planes


In nearly every communication interface today, many challenges exist. Not only must networks manage high volumes of data traffic, they must also be highly aware of malicious data intrusions. With increasing data moving though these networks, combined with demand for faster response times and lower latency, high performance packet processors came into existence as these were the only mechanisms ... » read more

Strategic Collaborations Enabling The Future of Automotive


I just returned from CES last month, the world’s most influential tech and innovation event. With over 135K attendees from across the world, 4300 exhibitors, 250+ conference sessions, and 1000 speakers, CES 2024 was the place to explore emerging trends and disruptive innovations. As CES is the showcase for innovative technologies, it is no surprise that Artificial Intelligence (AI) had a s... » read more
