Optimize Power For RF/μW Hybrid And Digital Phased Arrays


Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are a critical component of both digital and hybrid phased array technology. Powering FPGAs for aerospace and defense applications comes with its own set of challenges, especially because these applications require higher reliability than many industrial or consumer technologies. This blog post will provide a brief history on beamforming and beam-steeri... » read more

UCIe And Automotive Electronics: Pioneering The Chiplet Revolution


The automotive industry stands at the brink of a profound transformation fueled by the relentless march of technological innovation. Gone are the days of the traditional, one-size-fits-all system-on-chip (SoC) design framework. Today, we are witnessing a paradigm shift towards a more modular approach that utilizes diverse chiplets, each optimized for specific functionalities. This evolution pro... » read more

General-Purpose 32-bit RISC-V MCU Core Expands Design Freedom


The microcontroller sector is evolving in an exciting direction by providing designers with a growing menu of choices tailored to their performance and power requirements. Unlike the classic 1990s debate between the merits of x86 (CISC) and PowerPC (RISC) CPU architectures, there is plenty of room under the MCU tent for competing – and complementary – processor cores. The common denominator... » read more

Integrating ADAS/IVI SoCs Using Automotive IP


The automotive industry continues to evolve the centralized electrical/electronic (EE) architecture, impacting automakers, and Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, as they implement various applications over the next 10 years. The new architecture is structured around a centralized compute module which executes multiple applications such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)/highly automated dri... » read more

Early Cycle Analysis And Verification Of Logical SEU Mitigation


The global appetite for data continues to soar, driving innovation across all industry sectors, including how space-based technology can facilitate a more connected world. Miniaturized satellites configured into constellations offer faster communication and higher bandwidth than lone satellites flying higher in geocentric or high-earth orbits. However, industry analysis suggests that to make... » read more

Why Semiconductor Security Is More Important Than Ever in 2024


When I think about the state of semiconductor security today compared to when I joined Cycuity in 2020, I can safely say that chip security conversations are now taking place with greater frequency and urgency. Over the past year, I observed three trends that I expect will continue and accelerate in 2024: Continued occurrence of new and increasingly sophisticated cyber incidents Emergen... » read more

Maximize SoC Compatibility With Flexible Pre- And Post-Processing


Building ASICs and custom ICs (integrated circuits) is becoming increasingly challenging. To create successful products with long-lasting market impact, it's essential for the critical IP to be differentiated by performance, power, and features. It is difficult to predict and design for every potential application, especially considering each application has unique interfaces and processing req... » read more

Innovative Cybersecurity Solutions Accelerate TTM For The Software-Defined Vehicle


The automotive industry is undergoing a transformative shift towards the software-defined vehicle (SDV), signaling a new era that prioritizes customer-centric mobility and presents new, data-based revenue opportunities across the automotive value chain and ecosystem. However, this transition also presents many challenges, from managing increasingly complex hardware (HW) and software (SW) design... » read more

DNS, LES, Or RANS Simulation For Your Next Automotive Design


The automotive industry is constantly advancing, with new innovations and developments emerging almost every day. The industry is committed to creating a more sustainable future with the growing trend towards electric-powered vehicles and mass production. In 2022, the global production of motor vehicles increased by 5.7%, producing 85.4 million vehicles. However, the industry faces the challe... » read more

Cybersecurity Metrics: The Path To OT Security Maturity


In 2023, the cybersecurity challenges in the Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) landscape reached unprecedented levels. Ransomware, increasingly prevalent through new Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) models, became a widespread and costly headache. While some might argue this exaggerates the risk, the growing demand for defenses is not overstated. 2024 continues to b... » read more
