Building Billions Of Batteryless Devices
By James Myers - 12 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

Later this month, Arm will celebrate its 30 year anniversary and the engineering milestones that have resulted in more than 180 billion Arm-based chips being shipped in everything from sensors to smartphones to the world’s fastest supercomputer. In each of these cases, much of Arm’s success has been in our dedication to delivering the highest performance per watt. But while Arm may ha... » read more

The Expanding Universe Of MIPI Applications
By Joseph Rodriguez - 12 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

It’s hard to imagine today, but there was a time when mobile phones had no cameras and displays were tiny monochrome LCDs capable of displaying a phone number and not much more. The iconic Nokia 3310 announced Sept. 1, 2000, had an 84 x 48 pixel monochrome display and went on to sell 126 million units worldwide. You may still have one in your junk drawer. By the time of the original iPhone... » read more

Design For Manufacturing Best Practices
By Josh Akman - 12 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

Manufacturing issues are one of the top reasons that we see warranty returns and loss of market share in the electronics industry. Issues like supply chain failures and printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) production challenges related to design can lead to irreparable damage to a brand’s reputation. It is therefore critical that companies have a design for manufacturability (DfM) protocol i... » read more

Arm Goes For Performance
By Paul McLellan - 12 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

At the recent Linley Processor Conference, Arm presented two processors. This was regarded as so confidential that the original pre-conference version of the presentations didn't contain the Arm one, even though that pdf was only put online about an hour before. But most of the outline of what they presented they already talked about in May, a few months ago. I said recently that this seem... » read more

The Challenge Of Balancing Performance And Accuracy For Advanced Node Timing Signoff
By Rahul Deokar - 10 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

As process nodes shrink, complexity, cost and overall risk expand. Process variability that once was once acceptable now becomes a critical item as operating voltage decreases. Simply adding design margin makes the chip non-competitive. Physical effects that were once ignored now become critical as well. The impact of interconnect can no longer be modeled based on simple circuit topology. Layou... » read more

GDDR6 Memory For Life On The Edge
By Frank Ferro - 15 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

With the torrid growth in data traffic, it is unsurprising that the number of hyperscale data centers has grown apace. According to analysts at the Synergy Research Group, in July of this year there were 541 hyperscale data centers worldwide. That represents a doubling in the number since 2015. Even more striking, there are an additional 176 in the pipeline, so the breakneck growth in hyperscal... » read more

Machine Learning Enabled High-Sigma Verification Of Memory Designs
By Nebabie Kebebew - 15 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

Emerging applications and the big data explosion have made memory IPs ubiquitous in modern-day electronics. Specifically, the demand for memories with low-die area, low voltage, high capacity, and high performance is rising for use by data center and cloud computing servers. This is essential to serve the exponentially growing connectivity boom and the latest emerging 5G based systems, includin... » read more

Effective Clock Domain Crossing Verification
By Rahul Chirania - 15 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

As chips grow ever larger and more complex, gate count and amount of embedded memory grow dramatically. The number of clock domains is also increasing steadily. Several dozen different clocks are common in today’s chips, with some designs having more than a thousand domains. There are several reasons for this explosion: Multiple external interfaces with distinct clock requirements Lic... » read more

Simulate Automotive Radar In 5 Dimensions
By Ushemadzoro Chipengo - 15 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

Automotive radar has emerged as one of the backbone technologies in the automotive industry’s advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) revolution. Because radar uses electromagnetic waves to sense the environment, it can operate over a long distance in poor visibility or inclement weather conditions. Designing automotive radar that accurately captures diverse traffic situations will be essen... » read more

Sensors Will Proliferate In SoCs
By Tim Penhale-Jones - 15 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

No one likes being put on the spot, and yet we all like a forecast…and as we all know, the only guarantee with a forecast is that it is wrong. Sports commentators have carved out a special niche for themselves with the ‘commentators curse:’ just as they extol the virtues of an individual or a team, the sporting gods prove them wrong in spectacular fashion! Governments are no better: econo... » read more
