High-Fidelity Optical Edge Case Analyses For Lidar Simulation
By Sean Patterson - 08 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles (AV) rely on heavily on four main sensor modalities for perception: radars, cameras, ultrasonic and, most recently, lidars (light detection and ranging). Lidar is a crucial sensor to the ADAS toolset because it can measure precise three-dimensional images (point clouds) of everything from cars to traffic lights to pedestrians in ... » read more

CXL Signals A New Era Of Data Center Architecture
By Tim Messegee - 08 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

An exponential rise in data volume and traffic across the global internet infrastructure is motivating exploration of new architectures for the data center. Disaggregation and composability would move us beyond the classic architecture of the server as the unit of computing. By separating the functional components of compute, memory, storage and networking into pools, composed on-demand to matc... » read more

Benefits Of SiC For String Inverters
By Suresh Thangavel - 08 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

SiC MOSFETs in solar and energy storage applications have clear benefits compared to silicon technologies, addressing the pressing need for energy and cost savings, particularly when bidirectional power conversion is required. Ease of installation is one of the key features of high-power solar string inverters. It is beneficial if only two workers are needed to carry and install the system.... » read more

Virtual Prototyping In SoC Development
By Christoph Sohrmann - 21 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

Modern semiconductor technologies enable manufacturers to pack more and more functions and memory into a single silicon die. While steadily advancing microintegration based on Moore’s Law just a few years ago mainly focused on increasing the clock frequency of integrated circuits (IC), today, it’s the design complexity and number of blocks that enable new IC functions. More and more logic b... » read more

Beyond The Water Cooler: 2020 Report On IC/ASIC Design And Verification Trends
By Harry Foster - 10 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

Verification and design engineers like to talk shop and discuss their experiences and visions. But even though engineers sharing stories around the water cooler (whatever form that takes—conferences, blogs, etc.) does provide all kinds of valuable insights, it doesn’t provide the full picture into the very large and complicated and extremely dynamic global semiconductor industry. To better ... » read more

Getting Ready For An Efficient Shift To PCI Express 6.0 Designs With Optimized IP
By Gary Ruggles - 10 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

PCI Express (PCIe) 6.0 technology with key changes will bring about challenges that high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and storage system-on-chip (SoC) designers will face. This article provides designers a summary of the major changes and how they can be handled to ensure a smooth and successful transition to PCIe 6.0. The three major changes in PCIe 6.0 that designers nee... » read more

How To Improve Software? Start With The Hardware
By Travis Walton - 10 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

By Travis Walton and Udi Maor Physicist Art Rosenfeld was working late at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab one night in 1973 when he noticed it. Despite an ongoing energy crisis, his colleagues routinely left their lights on after they left. Waste was one of the largest consumers of power in the state, he soon discovered: pilot lights consumed 10% of gas in homes. Switching from physics to ... » read more

Advancing 3D Integration
By Paul McLellan - 10 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

Jerry Tzou's recent presentation on 3D Fabric Technology was all about More than Moore. TSMC has other specialized technologies such as RF and eNVM, but this is a general foundational technology for hyperscale data centers, mobile, and AI. Jerry started with the motivation for using chiplets and heterogeneous chip integration. You can see in the diagram below on the left where die from node... » read more

Accelerating AI/ML Inferencing With GDDR6 DRAM
By Frank Ferro - 10 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

The origins of graphics double data rate (GDDR) memory can be traced to the rise of 3D gaming on PCs and consoles. The first graphics processing units (GPU) packed single data rate (SDR) and double data rate (DDR) DRAM – the same solution used for CPU main memory. As gaming evolved, the demand for higher frame rates at ever higher resolutions drove the need for a graphics-workload specific me... » read more

SiC And Industrial Servos: A Perfect Match
By Michael Ebli - 10 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

The automation engineers of the 1960s would look with envy at the servo technology in use today. Small, precise, and, above all, electric, they are a reflection of the compactness of the semiconductor control, sensor, and power technology we have available today. Today’s biggest challenge remains the cabling between the servo and its controller. Notoriously expensive, due to having to withsta... » read more
