Artificial Intelligence: Let Us Get The Math Right First!
By Ravindra Aneja - 06 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

Artificial intelligence is a hot topic these days and therefore doesn’t require a repeat of the current and future potential uses for AI. For most people, it means technology advancements on the software side. But if you ask people who are very close to this technology domain, building your own optimized hardware chips is where a significant part of the competitive edge lies. A few days ba... » read more

Dude, Where’s My Autonomous Car?
By Melissa Kirschner - 02 May, 2019 - Comments: 1

Researchers forecast that by 2025 we’ll see approximately 8 million autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles on the road. Before merging onto roadways, autonomous cars will first have to progress through 6 levels of driver-assistance technology advancements. What exactly are these levels? And where are we now? The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) defines 6 levels of driving automatio... » read more

Combining SLAM And CNN For High-Performance Augmented Reality
By Gordon Cooper - 04 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Robotics and headsets or goggles are the most common hardware devices requiring AR/VR/mixed reality, and AR is coming to mobile phones, tablets, and automobiles as well. For hardware devices to see the world around them and add to that reality with inserted graphics or images, they need to determine their position in space and map the surrounding environment. Simultaneous localization and ma... » read more

Don’t Have A Meltdown Over A Spectre In Your SoC
By Anders Nordstrom - 07 Mar, 2019 - Comments: 0

You may be concerned about last year’s widely published Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities affecting most processors. Are your phone and computer OK? Or more importantly, if you are designing or verifying a System on Chip (SoC), do you have a specter in your design? Let’s first look at what these two vulnerabilities are and how they may be affecting your system. Both vulnerabilitie... » read more

Achieving Flexible Processing Requirements For IoT End-Node Devices
By Graham Wilson - 07 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

The term Internet of Things (IoT), which used to be used broadly to describe almost all connected devices, can now be seen to fall into two segments: Critical IoT and Massive IoT. Critical IoT refers to mission-critical applications such as automotive communication, industrial machines, and medical procedures where low latency is crucial, while Massive IoT is related to the billions of connecte... » read more

The Case For Antifuse OTP NVM For Secure & Reliable SoCs
By Krishna Balachandran - 10 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 2

Non-volatile memory (NVM) is used for persistent data and secure code storage in a wide range of electronic systems in automotive, mil-aero, power management IC (PMIC), mobile, and Internet of Things (IoT) markets. NVM comes in different flavors including multiple-time programmable (MTP), few-time programmable (FTP), and one-time programmable (OTP). When determining the ideal NVM solution, desi... » read more

Dodging The Next Generation Of Car Thieves
By Mike Borza - 06 Dec, 2018 - Comments: 1

The complexity of vehicle electronics is growing and brings with it more opportunities for hackers to penetrate the car’s defenses. More connections bring in multiple network topologies, which may or may not be secure. As they are all intertwined and interconnected, any connection to get into the vehicle’s electronics is a potential point of attack for hackers. For example, jamming RFID sig... » read more

New Opportunities For OTP NVM
By Melissa Kirschner - 01 Nov, 2018 - Comments: 0

By 2020 more than 50 billion devices will be connected to the Internet, according to Cisco’s latest forecast. Smartphone traffic will exceed PC traffic and broadband speeds will nearly double by 2021. And by the next Winter Olympics (Beijing 2022), 1 trillion networked sensors could be embedded in the world around us. While tech experts offer slightly different projections of actual numbers,... » read more

Data Converters For Automotive Applications
By Manuel Mota - 04 Oct, 2018 - Comments: 0

Sensor applications requiring data converters range from temperature sensors identifying different engine status to radar/LIDAR enabling Automotive Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Other applications involving data converters include wireless transceivers for communicating with other vehicles or with a fixed network. The data converter IP (analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog) provides an i... » read more

Build In Functional Safety Early
By Robert Vamosi - 06 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

In the automotive world, recalls for electronics affect about five percent of the vehicles on the road. That means 5 out of every 100 vehicles today have a problem with their electronics. If we want to see more autonomous driving vehicles, that number must be improved. There needs be more robustness in the development process. Making cars safer today is Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADA... » read more
