Defending Smart Homes Against AI Cyber Attacks


In recent months, the cybersecurity capabilities of Large Language Models have become increasingly powerful. Recent research shows that today’s frontier models (Claude Mythos and OpenAI GPT 5.5) with proper tooling have cybersecurity capabilities similar to trained cybersecurity practitioners and are doubling their ability every four months. Access to these frontier models has been restricted... » read more

What Is Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) In Data Centers?


In 2024, data centers consumed around 415 terawatt hours (TWh), or about 1.5% of global electricity, says the International Energy Agency. As the backbone of the digital economy, data centers are estimated to consume 2-3% of the world’s electricity by 2030. To manage this consumption, industry leaders have relied on a single metric: Power usage effectiveness (PUE). What is power usage ... » read more

AI Demand Resets Memory Market Priorities, Tightening NOR Flash Availability


The memory sector is entering a major turning point as the industry adjusts to what many now call the AI memory supercycle. Although most headlines focus on high bandwidth memory (HBM) and advanced NAND fueling the rapid expansion of AI data centers, a quieter but important consequence is emerging: shifts in production priorities are beginning to affect the supply of NOR flash across a wide ra... » read more

A Guide To Fast Switching GaN Challenges And Solutions


Gallium nitride (GaN) is an ideal material for applications requiring high switching speeds and minimal power losses. While the wide-bandgap material can certainly improve a system’s overall efficiency, it can also be more vulnerable to spurious turn-ons and other design challenges. That’s what makes top-of-the-line packaging, such as Infineon HiRel’s new PowIR-SMD, critical in space powe... » read more

Optimize Digital Payloads With Radiation Hardened GaN


As the demand for greater communication bandwidth continues to grow, next-generation satellites must deliver higher data throughput for digital payloads. This shift to digital payloads requires engineers to reassess key design parameters, such as material needs, operational factors, and radiation robustness, to ensure optimal performance in their space power systems. Infineon HiRel’s new radi... » read more

PAwR Simplified: Zephyr And Bluetooth LE 5.4 In Action


If you have ever wanted to see ideas turn into synchronized signals and signals evolve into perfectly timed communication, Bluetooth LE 5.4’s PAwR (Periodic Advertising with Responses) delivers just that. By organizing communication into periodic events, subevents, and response slots, PAwR enables low-power devices to operate in precise rhythm, much like dancers coordinated by a choreograph... » read more

Breaking The Compromise: Low Power And High Performance For The Intelligent Edge


By 2030, over 75 billion devices will be connected worldwide, each expected to think, learn, and respond instantly (Statista, IoT Connected Devices Forecast). The world is connecting faster than ever. With tens of billions of smart devices coming online, intelligence can no longer live in the cloud alone. Edge AI is emerging as the new frontier, bringing smarter, safer, and more res... » read more

ADAS/AD: Why An External Safety MCU Remains A Cornerstone For Safety Alongside SoC Safety Islands


Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) technologies are revolutionizing mobility, making vehicles smarter, safer, and increasingly autonomous. At the heart of these advancements are sophisticated computing architectures built on system-on-chips (SoCs) that manage complex tasks like perception, decision-making, and control. Many SoCs integrate a "Safety Island"—a... » read more

How To Run Bluetooth PCM Loopback Test


Bluetooth device manufacturing involves ensuring the quality and performance of devices. One key test that’s used to verify the functionality of Bluetooth devices is the Bluetooth PCM lookback test, which ensures that both the hardware and software of the Bluetooth chip are operating correctly. What is the Bluetooth PCM lookback test? A Bluetooth pulse code modulation (PCM) lookback test... » read more

Unlocking The Potential Of Ultra-Wideband Radar Technology


Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a short-range wireless communication technology that was once intended for military applications. In 2002, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) exempted its license and made it available for public use. Since then, UWB technology has evolved over time, transforming the way devices interact by offering secure ranging and precision sensing capabilities. With... » read more
