Mitigating Electronics Reliability Concerns During The Global Parts Shortage Crisis
By Jon Kordell - 10 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

The global parts shortage crisis has led to major disruptions to OEMs in the automotive, consumer electronics, and healthcare industries. To maintain production, many companies have been forced to rely on brokers to source the required parts, generating uncertainty in the quality of parts received. Additionally, some companies have had no choice but to replace previously used components with al... » read more

ADAS: MIPI Is Key
By Joseph Rodriguez - 10 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Building on the enormous design and manufacturing base which made high-resolution, miniaturized digital cameras possible for mobile phones, the universe of MIPI applications has expanded to the automotive world. Today’s cars, particularly with the increasing sophistication of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), are brimming with cameras, sensors, and displays. Park assist, driver monit... » read more

Accelerating Circuit Simulation 10x With GPUs
By Samad Parekh - 10 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

By Samad Parekh (Synopsys) and Srinivas Kodiyalam (NVIDIA) Many aspects of semiconductor design and verification have an ever-growing “need for speed” that has outpaced the performance improvements available by running on CPUs. Electronic design automation (EDA) companies have responded by creating smarter software algorithms to improve simulation time, sometimes at the expense of relaxe... » read more

PCB Layout Tips For Low Side Gate Drivers With OCP
By Weidong Chu - 10 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Our 1ED44173/5/6 are the new low side gate driver ICs that integrate over-current protection (OCP), FAULT status output and enable function. This high integration level is excellent for the digitally controlled Power Factor Correction (PFC) applications with boost topology and ground reference switching. In PFC applications, shunts are used to sense power switch current or DC bus current... » read more

Constraints On The Electricity Grid
By Paul McLellan - 10 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 3

I recently wrote about Moss Landing, the biggest grid battery storage operation in the world. I discovered from talking to a friend recently that most people have no idea what constraints the electricity grid operates under. I think most politicians are the same, and they assume that if we build enough windmills and solar panels then we can live in some sort of eco-nirvana. But that's not goin... » read more

What Will Be The Killer App For 5G? Time To Place Your Bets
By Panch Chandrasekaran - 10 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

5G is here. But where will its capabilities soar first? Here are my guesses for where the breakthroughs could occur along with factors that might hold it back. 1. Supply Chain. The world’s 5,300+ plus cargo ships carry 90% of the world’s freight and can collectively hold 1.97 billion deadweight tons of cargo. 5G—delivered through private networks or secure slices of public networks—c... » read more

Enhancing Datasets For Artificial Intelligence Through Model-Based Methods
By Dirk Mayer - 10 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

By Dirk Mayer and Ulf Wetzker Industrial plants and processes are now digitized and networked, and AI can be used to evaluate the data generated by those facilities to increase productivity and quality. Machine learning (ML) methods can be applied to: Product quality classification in complex production processes. Condition monitoring of technical systems, which is used, for examp... » read more

Context-Aware SPICE Simulation Improves The Fidelity Of ESD Analysis
By Neel Natekar - 10 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a major reliability concern for integrated circuit (IC) designs. ESD verification is proving to be a significant challenge at advanced nodes, due to growing IC design complexity and transistor counts. Traditional ESD verification approaches using parasitic extraction followed by SPICE simulation are deficient in providing simulation results in a practical runtim... » read more

AI Everywhere: Accelerating Chip Design At Every Node
By Geetha Rangarajan - 10 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

Over the last few years, artificial Intelligence (AI) has increasingly played a significant role in the chip development process. But, when people talk about AI-designed chips, it is usually in the context of the latest, cutting-edge designs manufactured at advanced process nodes (7/5nm and smaller) and for good reason. Such designs constantly push the bounds of power, performance, and area (PP... » read more

It’s Official: HBM3 Dons The Crown Of Bandwidth King
By Frank Ferro - 10 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

With the publishing of the HBM3 update to the High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) standard, a new king of bandwidth is crowned. The torrid performance demands of advanced workloads, with AI/ML training leading the pack, drive the need for ever faster delivery of bits. Memory bandwidth is a critical enabler of computing performance, thus the need for the accelerated evolution of the standard with HBM3 r... » read more
