The Evolution Of Generative AI Up To The Model-Driven Era
By Steve Brown - 07 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Generative AI has become a buzzword in 2023 with the explosive proliferation of ChatGPT and large language models (LLMs). This brought about a debate about which is trained on the largest number of parameters. It also expanded awareness of the broader training of models for specific applications. Therefore, it is unsurprising that an association has developed between the term “Generative AI�... » read more

Getting Ready For The Quantum Computing Era: Thoughts On Hybrid Cryptography
By Bart Stevens - 07 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Once quantum computers, more specifically Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computers (CRQCs), have become powerful and reliable enough, they will enable adversaries to break current asymmetric encryption, placing important data and assets at risk. New digital signatures and key encapsulation mechanisms (KEMs) are needed, and while considerable progress has been made in recent years to develop... » read more

Semiconductor Device Manufacturing Process Challenges And Opportunities
By Andreas Bier - 07 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor device manufacturing involves a complex series of processes that transform raw materials into finished devices. The process typically involves four major stages: wafer fabrication, wafer testing, assembly or packaging, and final testing. Each stage has its own unique set of challenges and opportunities. The semiconductor device manufacturing process faces several challenges, inclu... » read more

eFPGA Gives You FPGA Speed And Density At Much Less Cost And Power
By Geoff Tate - 07 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

FPGAs are everywhere in all types of systems for their flexibility and quick time to market. As your volumes grow and you consider an ASIC to cut cost and power, you can now incorporate an embedded FPGA to continue to give you flexibility for the parts of your chip that need to adapt for changing standards, improving algorithms and customer optimizations. If you are an SoC designer, you c... » read more

Overcoming The Challenges Of Capacitive Touch HMI Design
By Vibheesh Bharathan - 07 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

The capacitive touch human-machine interface (HMI) is a critical aspect of modern electronics. It is how we interact with our devices, making it an integral part of wearables, smart home products and IoT products. The primary goal of an HMI is to provide an intuitive and responsive interface that supports human interaction. However, designing a touch HMI system that meets the consumer's expecta... » read more

Understanding Memory Protection Units
By Ashwin Kumar - 06 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

Let’s talk about the various security measures we take to protect our homes. We use locks, install security cameras to detect any suspicious activities, etc., all to safeguard our loved ones and valuable possessions. In similar sense, the tiny microcontrollers inside our devices have protection units (PU) that safeguard the precious resource: memory. One of the most important types of prote... » read more

Securing AI/ML Training And Inference Workloads
By Bart Stevens - 02 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

AI/ML can be thought about in two distinct and essential functions: training and inference. Both are vulnerable to different types of security attacks and this blog will look at some of the ways in which hardware-level security can protect sensitive data and devices across the different AI workflows and pipelines. The security challenges encountered with AI/ML workloads can be addressed by i... » read more

Designing Automotive ICs For Cybersecurity
By Mohammed Abdelwahid - 02 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

The day has already arrived when we need to be concerned about the cybersecurity of our cars. An average modern car includes about 1400 ICs and many of them are used in sophisticated applications, like autonomous driving and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. The security of road vehicles is an important issue to automakers and OEMs but is rooted in the IC devices that power the vehicle... » read more

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
