Embedded Display IP Solution For 4K Resolutions
By Licinio Sousa - 08 Feb, 2018 - Comments: 0

By Licinio Sousa, Synopsys, and Vassilis Androutsopoulos, Arm To meet consumers’ demands for high-resolution content and visual quality, high-end smartphones are moving from wide quad HD (WQHD) displays to ultra-high-resolution 4K displays. For AR/VR applications, since the display is closer to the eyes and must maintain visual quality, more pixels and high refresh rates are needed. Higher... » read more

Electronic Design For Reliable Autonomous Driving
By Roland Jancke - 11 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

In the area of advanced driver assistance systems, most car makers and their suppliers have laid out exciting road maps all the way to highly automated and fully automated driving in 5 to 10 years. But are the electronics keeping up with these ambitious plans? At least for the automotive industry as a mass market, the current design processes for microchips and systems are not yet ready. An ... » read more

A Simple Way To Improve Automotive In-System Test
By Jeff Mayer - 11 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

The remarkable growth in automotive IC design has prompted a focus on ISO26262 functional safety compliance, which includes both high-quality manufacturing test and a minimum stuck-at test coverage of 90% for in-system test. Designers must also control IC test data volumes, test application times, and test costs. A new test point technology that improves in-system test coverage and reduces patt... » read more

Why Pinpoint Accuracy Is Important When Monitoring Conditions On Chip
By Ramsay Allen - 11 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

A Q&A with Moortec CTO Oliver King. Why is there an increasing requirement for monitoring on chip? Since the beginning of the semiconductor industry, we have relied on a doubling of transistor count per unit area every 18 months as a way to increase performance and functionality of devices. Since 28nm, this has broken. As such, designers now need to find new ways to continue increasing... » read more

The Data Center In 2018 And Beyond
By Steven Woo - 11 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

As computing continues to evolve, a number of trends are continuing to challenge the design of conventional von Neumann architectures, and in turn are driving the development of new architectural approaches and technologies. These include the growing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, AR/VR, IoT, high-speed financial transactions, self-driving vehicles, and blockchain/c... » read more

Preparing For Electromagnetic Crosstalk Challenges
By Magdy Abadir - 11 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

By Magdy Abadir and Anand Raman Electromagnetic (EM) coupling/noise is not a new phenomenon, but increasing bandwidth and decreasing size, along with low-power demands of today’s electronic systems is making EM crosstalk a first order challenge. At clock frequency of 10GHz+ and data rate of 10Gbps+, parasitic inductance and inductive coupling that were previously safe to ignore are no long... » read more

Self-Driving Cars And Kobayashi Maru
By Thomas Wong - 11 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

Kobayashi Maru. If you know what I am talking about, you are a bona fide Star Trek fan. If not, let me indulge. Kobayashi Maru is a computer simulation for a training exercise in the fictional Star Trek universe, where Starfleet Academy cadets are presented with a no-win scenario. But they do have to make a decision. The primary goal of the exercise is to rescue a disabled civilian vessel... » read more

Protecting Automotive Systems With A Root Of Trust
By Andrew Elias - 11 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

As our cars become more connected and autonomous, we depend on them to entertain us, connect seamlessly to our phones (which carry substantial personal information), help keep us in our proper driving lane, and more. We expect that the electronics in the automobile will work as advertised. However, connected cars can have vulnerabilities to direct, over-the-air, or side-channel attacks, which c... » read more

Beacons Beckon Ubiquity In IoT Era
By Prithi Ramakrishnan - 11 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

In the early 1900s, radio beacons were created with the aim of tracking ships and planes. Prior to this innovation, pilots and ships’ captains usually relied on celestial navigation, and anyone who wanted to know their location was in the dark. A century later, engineers took the concept and devised Bluetooth Low Energy-enabled beacons, a vast use never envisaged by their 20th cent... » read more

Expanding Ecosystem Drives Auto Chip Gold Rush
By Thomas Wong - 03 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor chips designed to support automotive applications have been around for more than 40 years, which is a very long time in the technology business. These chips have been developed by semiconductor integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), which control every step of the design, manufacturing, test, qualification, reliability and quality aspects of these automotive chips. Special se... » read more
