SAR ADCs For Machine-To-Machine Connections
By Joao Marques - 16 Jan, 2020 - Comments: 0

In our previous blog about the importance of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), we focused on the various architectures that are in common usage for the Industrial Internet of Things. In particular, we looked at which architecture was best for low-latency, low-power and high-precision applications, with each option having various advantages and disadvantages. When we looked at the applicati... » read more

Brains And Computers At The VLSI Design Conference
By Madhavi Rao - 16 Jan, 2020 - Comments: 0

One of the industry’s biggest events, the VLSI Design Conference, took place in Bangalore last week. This conference does a round-robin of cities, and this was the 10th time in its 33-year history that Bangalore was hosting it (the last time was in 2015). This year’s conference attracted over 1,800 technologist and leaders over five days – a huge turnout for this growing industry. Inci... » read more

CES 2020 Highlights New Automotive Tech
By Chet Babla - 16 Jan, 2020 - Comments: 0

Another year, another Consumer Electronics Show (CES) packed with innovative technology. In the many years I’ve been coming to the show, I’ve seen it evolve from a launchpad for the year’s mainstream devices – televisions, laptops, smartphones – to encompass all manner of smart devices within the home and beyond. As the head of automotive at Arm, it’s that ‘beyond’... » read more

Engineering AI To Be Ethical By Design
By Carolyn Herzog - 12 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 1

I joined Arm because of its amazing people and world-class technology. But while I’m constantly excited by the possibilities of what we can achieve, as Arm’s General Counsel I must also consider the potential harm our designs might cause if they don’t perform in the way we expect, or were put to a use we did not intend. That dilemma comes to the forefront when I think about artificial... » read more

Optimizing Power And Performance For Machine Learning At The Edge
By Mike Fingeroff - 12 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 0

While machine learning (ML) algorithms are popular for running on enterprise Cloud systems for training neural networks, AI/ML chipsets for edge devices are growing at a triple digit rate, according to Tractica “Deep Learning Chipsets” (Figure 1). Edge devices include automobiles, drones, and mobile devices that are all employing AI/ML to provide valuable functionality. Figure 1: Marke... » read more

System-in-Package For Heterogeneous Designs
By Paul McLellan - 12 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 1

System integration is increasingly being done using 3D packaging technologies rather than integrating everything onto a huge SoC. One motivation is the ability to not just to split up a design in a single process, but to package die from different processes. Sometimes there are economic reasons. Several presentations at HOT CHIPS had a partition of the design into the processor itself, and a... » read more

Verifying Security In Processor-based SoCs
By Ruud Derwig - 12 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 0

By Ruud Derwig and Nicole Fern Security in modern systems is of utmost importance. Device manufacturers are including multiple security features and attack protections into both the hardware and software design. For example, the Synopsys DesignWare ARC Processor IP includes many security functions in its SecureShield feature set. End-product system security, however, cannot be guaranteed by ... » read more

Combining Digital Twins And IoT In The Cloud
By Sameer Kher - 12 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 0

Engineers are tasked with the continuous improvement of the products, services and systems they design. The trouble is, once a product is out in the field, it’s hard to know how that design is performing — or being used. By coupling digital twin and internet of things (IoT) technology, engineers can get a better idea of a product’s real-world performance. As a reminder, digital twins a... » read more

Opening Up An NVM Evaluation Kit
By Denise Rael - 12 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 0

From toys to smartphones and even mail-order reptiles (a practice which we don’t endorse), unboxing videos are an effective and entertaining way to learn more about a product. According to a recent analysis by Shorr Packaging Corp., toys are the most watched unboxing category, followed closely by smartphones and computers. In addition to providing important product details, an unboxing v... » read more

Verification Pilgrims Show A Historical Case For DFT
By Lee Vick - 27 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

The Mayflower Steps, where the Pilgrims are believed to have embarked on their journey to America, are located in the beautiful Barbican area of Plymouth, a small town in the southwest of England. As the lone American working for Moortec, a British company based in Plymouth, I stood and stared at them this past September. Separated by a few yards of distance but 399 years of history I found my... » read more
