Efficient Software Development
By Christopher Seidl - 06 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

In the past few years, the cost of developing software for embedded systems has exploded. Previously, hardware was the biggest chunk of that cost. These days software stresses the engineering budget. Why is that? For the past 20 years or so, of the many thoroughly standardized hardware interfaces, some have been integrated into the silicon of the micro controller thereby reducing the bill of... » read more

Revolutionizing The Connected World
By Ian Johnson - 09 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 1

One of the 21st century’s biggest global developments is the evolution of connectivity. If you had asked someone 20 years ago what they understand the word ‘connected’ to mean, it is unlikely they would associate it so firmly with technology. Mobile technology has transformed the way in which we interact with one another. We are surrounded by a rapidly growing network of connected devi... » read more

How To Reduce Implementation Headaches In FinFET Processes
By Leah Schuth - 11 Sep, 2014 - Comments: 0

In this era of compressed market windows and shrinking or changing technology, today’s engineers are always looking for ways to improve their overall product performance, power and area (PPA), while also decreasing their SoC design effort. The goal is to ease time-consuming and labor-intensive implementation tasks that will yield a reduction in design time, without sacrificing accuracy and op... » read more

Enabling The Next Mobile Computing Revolution
By Brian Jeff - 07 Aug, 2014 - Comments: 0

We’ve come a long way Just think about the ‘mobile computing’ revolution over the last five years – the compute tasks we routinely handle on our mobile phonesdaily, equal those that were only possible to execute using laptops and desktops several years ago. With a direct and uninterrupted power supply from the wall, laptopsand desktops require fan-assisted cooling, a... » read more

IoT, A Market And Technology Set To Explode
By Zach Shelby - 10 Jul, 2014 - Comments: 0

While a fully-connected Internet of Things (IoT) world is still away off, an increasing number of devices are being built that can communicate with each other through wireless connections such as WiFi, Bluetooth, 6LoWPAN or Cellular. Current technology trends point toward a more seamlessly connected world, and for that to happen we must have cost-effective, low-power and highly connected dev... » read more

Processor IP Enabling The Wearable Trend
By Ellie Stone - 12 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 0

Wearable technology is one of the fastest growing market segments. It is expected to be the next big thing in the field of computing and could, over the next decade, become as large as the mobile market is today. Its growth will depend on innovative devices providing a better user experience to their non-wearable alternatives, as well as broad availability of these products backed by a supporti... » read more

The Rise Of Screens In Your Home
By Trina Watt - 08 May, 2014 - Comments: 1

The 1950s introduced the first of the screens that would come into our homes and bring visual content to the consumer. It is estimated that more than 1 billion TVs have been sold since that date. TV opened up the outside world to people in the homes from locations that they may never have heard of. It advertised products they didn’t know they needed and informed them of issues they did no... » read more

The Wearables Wave Expands Today’s Mobile Experience
By Andrew Frame - 10 Apr, 2014 - Comments: 1

By Andrew Frame and Bee Hayes-Thakore There’s no question that the mobile experience is expanding. Today’s smartphones, all powerful computing devices, have made it possible for us to stay connected to the information that matters most to us, offering at-a-glance information in a compact, portable form for extended periods of time. Most of us are always within easy reach of our smartphones... » read more

What Goes Around Comes Around: Moore’s Law At 10nm And Beyond
By Greg Yeric - 13 Feb, 2014 - Comments: 2

Modified by Greg Yeric from original by Eric Fischer Gordon Moore penned his famous observation in an era when the people developing the process were also the people designing the circuits. Over time, things got more complicated and work specialization set in, but all was well in the world for many years as the fabs kept delivering on Moore’s Law. Yes, designers had to come up with lot... » read more
