Verifying Compliance During PCIe Re-Timer Testing Poses Challenges
By Kunal Chhabriya - 02 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

In PCI Express (PCIe), a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard, Compliance mode is used for testing the transmitter and interconnect to assess if their voltage and timing are compliant with the specification. This testing happens in the Polling Compliance state which is a dedicated state for Compliance testing in the Link Training and Status State Machine (LTSSM). In Unraveling the... » read more

Closing The Performance Gap Between DRAM And AI Processors
By Balaji Kanigicherla - 02 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

As the workhorse of semiconductor memory, DRAM holds a unique place in the industry thanks to its large storage capacity and ability to feed data and program code to the host processor quickly. Lately, this unsung hero of the circuit board has been taking a backseat to its logic counterparts, as a wave of high-performance FPGAs, CPUs, GPUs, TPUs and custom accelerator ASICs emerges to meet t... » read more

Protecting Highly Confidential Data In IoT Devices
By Masaki Hama - 05 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

How should we approach the protection of highly confidential security parameters and personal data? It's just like our daily routines: when we leave home, we lock the door and take care not to lose the key. Similarly, in the realm of cybersecurity, safeguarding cryptographic keys is paramount. No matter how robust your data protection system is, it's rendered ineffective if keys or passwords... » read more
