Autonomous Vehicles: IC Design Flow Walk Through
By Andrew Macleod - 04 Oct, 2018 - Comments: 0

Automotive applications, particularly those related to AI and computer vision, are a significant driver of the current semiconductor boom. Established companies are mostly thriving, it’s true, but perhaps more interesting are all the new faces in the game. As usual, Mentor CEO Wally Rhines is one of the great sense-makers of the all this activity. Wally has been making the rounds at variou... » read more

Physical Verification For Silicon Photonics: Don’t Panic!
By Omar El-Sewefy - 06 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Silicon photonics augments traditional electrical signals in integrated circuits (ICs) with light transmission to speed up data transfer and reduce power consumption. According to MarketsandMarkets, the overall silicon photonics market is worth approximately $774.1M in 2018, and is expected to reach $1,988.2M by 2023, at a CAGR of 20.8% between 2018 and 2023  [1]. Cloud computing is one market... » read more

Smart Cities’ Head Start On The Mobility Future
By Andrew Macleod - 02 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

Even if autonomy is still mostly in the R&D, balky-science-project phase, vehicle connectivity is increasingly here today. And that’s good news since connected cars deliver a meaningful subset of the societal upside promised by their eventual fully autonomous future selves, especially when it comes to safety, traffic management and navigation. But beyond the dashboard, as the world become... » read more

Self-Driving Hits The Safety Reset Button
By Andrew Macleod - 09 Jul, 2018 - Comments: 0

All of a sudden the autonomous future is looking a bit more uncertain, which is somewhat surprising given what tech and auto boosters have been saying for years now — namely, that self-driving cars are “just around the corner.” (Google that phrase to see just how often they’ve been saying it. Even the starchy Economist trumpets this very meme.) The American Center for Mobility (ACM... » read more

Design Automation For Silicon Photonics: Pushing Research Into Production
By Chris Cone - 07 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

Silicon photonics is a transformative technology that will have a major impact on system architectures in future IC design applications. Already a major solution for Datacom applications and emerging applications in sensing, design techniques in silicon photonics, with the ability to leverage CMOS technology to integrate large numbers of photonic components, are now being applied to enable opti... » read more

The Coming Golden Age For Automotive E/E Design Services And Consulting
By Andrew Macleod - 03 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

By Andrew Macleod and Scott Majdecki The discipline of automotive E/E systems design is being transformed by trends like electrification and autonomous vehicles, which means there is a premium on methodologies like rapid platform (hardware/ software) prototyping, simulation and test, and electrical architecture optimization. Such methodologies hinge on advanced software design tools and the ... » read more

Addressing The Productivity Gaps In IIoT
By Scot Morrison - 05 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) can be enabled by many different topologies and permutations of underlying infrastructure, but the one constant is that it brings new levels of profitability, efficiency, and productivity to businesses and industries near and far. The IIoT is enabled by connectivity from device to device, and device to and from the cloud. However, it’s not only abou... » read more

A New Approach To A Fragmented Industrial IoT
By Scot Morrison - 01 Mar, 2018 - Comments: 0

By now, we’ve all seen or experienced the transformational change the Internet of Things (IoT) has had in our daily lives. The emerging area of industrial automation, often referred to as the Industry Internet of Things (IIoT) or Industrie 4.0, has also quickly transformed itself. Suddenly within IIoT we have thousands, even millions of devices, connected to the seemingly infinite potential o... » read more

ECAD-MCAD Co-Design Promotes Automotive First-Pass Success
By Kevin Paul - 01 Feb, 2018 - Comments: 0

Achieving first-pass success is the goal of every automotive design team, both electrical and mechanical, as it minimizes or even eliminates costly design iterations. In the automotive industry, first-pass success is more challenging than ever because of the increasing electro-mechanical complexity and density of modern vehicles. Most modern cars run their critical systems, such as the throttle... » read more

Sensors Drive IoT Intelligent Systems
By Greg Lebsack - 04 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

Back in 1980, it is believed that the first intelligent electronic sensor was proposed (by S. Middelhoek and J.B. Angell). Their idea was to combine a MEMS sensor, an analog-to-digital convertor, and a processor to analyze the analog data generated by the sensor. But, as many great electronics ideas, the technology to put this all together on a CMOS IC was not nearly ready at that time. Toda... » read more
