Connect To Any Chip With Programmable GPIO
By Geoff Tate - 06 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

Your MCU/SoC today may have several options for GPIO connections: UART, SPI, I2C. But there are dozens of variations and kinds of GPIO interface protocols: you don’t have enough pins to provide all of them as hardwired options. As a result, a significant number of your customers either can’t use your chip because they need to connect to another with a GPIO interface you don’t support, ... » read more

Predicting Hull Resistance Curve Using Marine CFD

The Power Of Sensors In Transmission Systems
By Ladurner Sebastian - 13 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

I have always had a passion for cars. As a child, I used to spend hours playing with toy cars and imagining all sorts of incredible adventures. But as I got older, my love affair with cars only grew stronger. I became fascinated by the mechanics of these amazing machines and all the different parts that come together to make them run. And one of the parts that always intrigued me the most were ... » read more

Securing IoT Devices With Lightweight Cryptography
By Bart Stevens - 02 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently announced the selection of a new family of cryptographic algorithms called ASCON, which have been developed for lightweight cryptography applications. In this blog, we will explore what lightweight cryptography is and why it is worth considering for specific Internet of Things (IoT) use cases. In summary, lightweight cryptogr... » read more

3 Key Automotive Technology Advances To Watch
By Ron DiGiuseppe - 02 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

What we’ve been witnessing in the past few years—particularly with automakers and Tier 1 suppliers investing in software-defined vehicle development—means the automotive industry will grow tremendously both upward in the total number of vehicles as well as horizontally with different innovations in the space coming to fruition. The only way forward is for technology firms and automakers t... » read more

Automotive IoT Security By Design
By Lee Harrison - 02 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

A good example of the wider adoption and application of IoT devices is in automotive uses. It’s a growing market, with the worldwide number of IoT-connected devices projected to increase to 43 billion by 2023, an almost threefold increase from 2018. The modern vehicles that host so many IoT devices are increasingly connected—for cellular over-the-air updates, but also potentially to comm... » read more

The Game Of Ecosystems Intensifies
By Frank Schirrmeister - 02 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

You may know about my fascination with ecosystems if you have followed my writing. It is only fitting that I am writing this Blog in Munich (shiver, it's cold), where I attended the GSA McKinsey workshop on "Distributed E/E Architectures and Zonal Computing." This workshop had attendees from semiconductor foundries, EDA vendors, IP vendors, Tier 1 Semis, Tier 2 Integrators, software vendors, an... » read more

Security Highlight: Ascon
By Marc Witteman - 02 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

The contest for standardization of a lightweight crypto (LWC) algorithm has just finished. US standards body NIST selected Ascon as the winner. Ascon is an algorithm proposed by an international team of scientists that delivers strong performance and security at a low cost. How does that work? Lightweight crypto is symmetric encryption technology, that runs well on constrained systems, lik... » read more

The Importance Of Metal Stack Compatibility For Semi IP
By Geoff Tate - 02 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Every foundry and every node is different, but for every foundry/node there are multiple supported metal stacks. Some chips use a lot more metal layers than others. A common rule of thumb is each metal layer increases wafer cost 10%. So, a chip with 5 more metal layers than another will cost 50%+ more. The most complex, high performance chips, including performance FPGAs, typically use AL... » read more

Robust Design Optimization Of A Ford Turbocharger Compressor
By Anne-Marie Schelkens - 02 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

What is robust design optimization (RDO), and is it better than standard optimization? In this customer case, we describe a multi-disciplinary optimization of a turbocharger compressor from Ford Motor Company, in which we demonstrate it is. RDO combines standard numerical optimization with sensitivity analysis to take into account the influence of manufacturing variations and operating uncer... » read more
