Integrating 16nm FPGA Into 28/22nm SoC Without Losing Speed Or Flexibility
By Geoff Tate - 05 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Systems companies like FPGA because it gives parallel processing performance that can outdo processors for many workloads and because it can be reconfigured when standards, algorithms, protocols or customer requirements change. But FPGAs are big, burn a lot of power and are expensive. Customers would like to integrate them into their adjacent SoC if possible. Dozens of customers are now u... » read more

Formal Verification Of AI Processor Datapaths In Automotive Applications
By Laureano Carrasco - 05 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

There aren’t many electronic applications that require correctness, safety, and security more than automobiles and other road vehicles. Owners rely on their cars operating properly and reliably at all times. The very lives of drivers, passengers, and those nearby are at risk if a vehicle misbehaves. The situation grows more serious with every innovation in automotive electronics. With a mo... » read more

Software-Defined Vehicles: The Automotive Revolution With Silicon At Its Heart
By Ben Gu - 05 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

The automotive sector is undergoing immense change. The retirement of the internal combustion engine (ICE) in favor of electrified powertrains and a shift towards autonomy has provided carmakers the opportunity to reimagine and redefine the entire automotive experience: how a car looks, works, and behaves, from the tires up. But such change isn’t easy. An industry founded on the manufactur... » read more

Shortening Network-on-Chip Development Schedules Using Physical Awareness
By Frank Schirrmeister - 05 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Taking physical design into account as early as possible has been a consideration of chip development teams for quite some time. Still, in interactions with customers and partners, 2022 marked a sharp uptick in concerns about whether a design that may be functionally correct can also be implemented using physical implementation flows. Given the intricacies and complexity of network-on-chip (NoC... » read more

Security Highlight: Compromising Printers Via Malicious Third-Party Cartridges
By Nicole Fern - 05 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

This fall, HP Inc. published an article describing a buffer overflow vulnerability in their printer software which would allow an attacker to obtain persistent remote code execution on the printer. Buffer overflow vulnerabilities are common, but what makes this one noteworthy is that it can be exploited remotely by a malicious third-party printer cartridge. In the printer ecosystem, there ... » read more

Navigating The Intersection Of Safety And Security
By Jacob Wiltgen - 05 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Automotive IC safety and security continue to be hot topics across the industry, and one phrase you may often hear during discussion is: An automotive IC can be secure without needing to be safe, but an automotive IC cannot be safe without also being secure. Adding a bit of detail to that: An automotive IC which has an incomplete security architecture provides potential attack vectors w... » read more

Highly Reliable Solutions Unleashing The Benefits Of Predictive Maintenance
By Danie Schneider - 05 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Time and again, malfunctions in devices inside a building like HVAC, elevator, refrigeration, and other building systems can lead to severe operational disruption, resulting in increasing maintenance costs and discomfort for its occupants. Predictive maintenance can be an effective way to avoid unplanned downtime. It monitors the condition of equipment in real time and schedules maintenance bef... » read more

Industry Adoption Of Line-Rate Network Security Using MACsec
By Maxim Demchenko - 05 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

Network security protocols are the primary means of securing data in motion — that is, data communicated between closely connected physical devices, or between devices, and even virtual machines connected using a complex infrastructure. This article will explore Media Access Control security (MACsec) and how it can be used to provide foundational level network security for a wide range of app... » read more

Embracing the Challenges Of Cybersecurity In Automotive Applications
By Gulam Ashrafi - 01 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 1

The growth of electronics in cars is exposing a new vector for cyberattacks on car owners and automotive companies’ reputations. The potential human cost of an attack on the car’s electronics is driving urgency in the adoption of cybersecurity-aware practices, from OEMs and Tier 1s to every component supplier in the automotive industry. The standard “ISO/SAE 21434:2021 Road vehicles — C... » read more

When Does My SoC Design Need A NoC?
By Michael Frank - 01 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

By Michael Frank and Frank Schirrmeister Excluding the simplest offerings, almost every modern system-on-chip (SoC) device will implement its on-chip communications utilizing a network-on-chip (NoC). Some people question whether it is necessary to use a NoC or whether a more basic approach would suffice. What is in an SoC? An SoC is an integrated circuit (IC) that incorporates most or all ... » read more
