Why The SOAFEE Project Is Integral For The Design Of Connected Vehicles
By Stewart Wiliams - 07 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

The Scalable Open Architecture for Embedded Edge (SOAFEE) project, of which Synopsys is a voting member, is defined by automakers, semiconductor suppliers, open-source and independent software vendors, and cloud technology leaders. The effort builds on technologies that define standard boot and security requirements for the Arm architecture, while adding a cloud-native development and deployme... » read more

Draft Standards For Quantum Safe Cryptography Are Here
By Bart Stevens - 07 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

The world of security is constantly evolving, and in the few short weeks that have passed since my last blog on What It Takes To Make An SoC Design Quantum Safe, there have been some new and exciting developments in the world of quantum safe cryptography. On August 24th, 2023, NIST published the first three draft standards for general-purpose Quantum Safe Cryptography (also known as Post-Quantu... » read more

Integration Of S-Parameters For Power Module Verification Into The Engineers’ Design Environment
By Wilfried Wessel - 07 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

By Wilfried Wessel (Siemens EDA), Simon Liebetegger (University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt), and Florian Bauer (Siemens EDA) Developing a power module requires enhanced design and verification methods. Currently, multiple iterations are needed to get the design done. Today, design and manufacturing processes are heavily dependent on physical prototypes. The reason for this is the unique s... » read more

Radar Transceivers: How To Connect The Antennas
By Marta Martinez Vazquez - 07 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

There are different antenna options for transmitting and receiving a radar signal. This blog will focus on how to connect a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) radar transceiver to the antennas in a way that guarantees an efficient transfer of the signals. mmWave MMIC to antenna interfaces At millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies, any transitions between two different transmission l... » read more

Use Cases And Value Proposition Of eFPGA
By Geoff Tate - 07 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

Flex Logix EFLX eFPGA is the first eFPGA that enables a customer to match the performance of FPGAs from AMD/Xilinx and Intel (in the same process node) with the same density (LUTs/mm2). EFLX eFPGA has been in use with customers now for more than 5 years, hardware and software. More than 40 chips have been licensed to use EFLX eFPGA and more than 20 chips are working in silicon. Big customers... » read more

BMS: The Guardian Of Battery Health And Security
By Filippo Rosetti - 07 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

In our increasingly digital and energy-dependent world, batteries have become a vital component in powering our devices and vehicles. From smartphones to electric cars, the performance and safety of batteries are paramount. To ensure their optimal operation and longevity, a key player comes into the spotlight: the Battery Management System (BMS). In this article, we will explore the essential... » read more

AI PCB Design: How Generative AI Takes Us From Constraints To Possibilities
By Michael Jackson - 07 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) represents the next great step forward in PCB design. This is, of course, what you might expect me to say. 2023 has been a year dominated by the rise of generative AI, with large language models (LLMs) as the unquestionable poster child. It’s easy to see why; LLMs seemingly fulfill the promise of sentience, while in reality, they’re simply very goo... » read more

Virtualization: A Must-Have For Embedded AI In Automotive SoCs
By Gordon Cooper - 03 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

Virtualization, the process of abstracting physical hardware by creating multiple virtual machines (VMs) with independent operating systems and tasks, has been in computing since the 1960s. Now, with the need to optimize the utilization of large AI and DSP blocks in automotive SoCs, along with the need for increased functional safety in autonomous driving, virtualization is coming to power- an... » read more

What It Takes To Make An SoC Design Quantum Safe
By Bart Stevens - 03 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

When it comes to quantum computing attacks, the first question people ask is “will my design be impacted?” In the majority of cases, the answer is yes. For any device that cannot function with manually programmed symmetric keys, which is most devices, you must plan to make upgrades. The good news is that your architecture is not impacted. Secure domains remain secure domains and keys can be... » read more

Semiconductor Industry Is Pulling AI Across A Diversity Of End Uses And Applications
By Sailesh Chittipeddi - 03 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of joining a group of industry peers during SEMICON West and the Design Automation Conference in San Francisco for an enlightening panel discussion that we organized titled, “How AI Is Reinventing the Semiconductor Industry Inside and Out.” Moderated by Gartner, I was joined on the panel by senior executives from Advantest, Synopsys and the TinyML Foun... » read more
