Overcoming Chiplet Integration Challenges With Adaptability


Chiplets are exploding in popularity due to key benefits such as lower cost, lower power, higher performance and greater flexibility to meet specific market requirements. More importantly, chiplets can reduce time-to-market, thus decreasing time-to-revenue! Heterogeneous and modular SoC design can accelerate innovation and adaptation for many companies. What’s not to like about chiplets? Well... » read more

Enhancing HMI Security: How To Protect ICS Environments From Cyber Threats


HMIs (Human Machine Interfaces) can be broadly defined as just about anything that allows humans to interface with their machines, and so are found throughout the technical world. In OT environments, operators use various HMIs to interact with industrial control systems in order to direct and monitor the operational systems. And wherever humans and machines intersect, security problems can ensu... » read more

Earning Digital Trust


The internet of things (IoT) has been growing at a fast pace. In 2023, there were already double the number of internet-connected devices – 16 billion – than people on the planet. However, many of these devices are not properly secured. The high volume of insecure devices being deployed is presenting hackers with more opportunities than ever before. Governments around the world are realizin... » read more

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
