ADAS: MIPI Is Key
By Joseph Rodriguez - 10 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Building on the enormous design and manufacturing base which made high-resolution, miniaturized digital cameras possible for mobile phones, the universe of MIPI applications has expanded to the automotive world. Today’s cars, particularly with the increasing sophistication of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), are brimming with cameras, sensors, and displays. Park assist, driver monit... » read more

Robots Become More Useful In Factories
By John Koon - 10 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Most people associate factory automation with large robotic machines, such as those that weld automobile chassis on assembly lines. But as prices drop and technology improves, robots are being deployed for smaller and more varied tasks, and they are getting better at all of them. Inside of factories, robots can significantly improve output, consistency, and reliability. They can work around ... » read more

Accelerating Circuit Simulation 10x With GPUs
By Samad Parekh - 10 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

By Samad Parekh (Synopsys) and Srinivas Kodiyalam (NVIDIA) Many aspects of semiconductor design and verification have an ever-growing “need for speed” that has outpaced the performance improvements available by running on CPUs. Electronic design automation (EDA) companies have responded by creating smarter software algorithms to improve simulation time, sometimes at the expense of relaxe... » read more

PCB Layout Tips For Low Side Gate Drivers With OCP
By Weidong Chu - 10 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Our 1ED44173/5/6 are the new low side gate driver ICs that integrate over-current protection (OCP), FAULT status output and enable function. This high integration level is excellent for the digitally controlled Power Factor Correction (PFC) applications with boost topology and ground reference switching. In PFC applications, shunts are used to sense power switch current or DC bus current... » read more

Constraints On The Electricity Grid
By Paul McLellan - 10 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 3

I recently wrote about Moss Landing, the biggest grid battery storage operation in the world. I discovered from talking to a friend recently that most people have no idea what constraints the electricity grid operates under. I think most politicians are the same, and they assume that if we build enough windmills and solar panels then we can live in some sort of eco-nirvana. But that's not goin... » read more

Comparing Formal And Simulation Code Coverage
By Siemens EDA - 09 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

There is a difference in semantics between code coverage generated from a simulator engine and code coverage generated from a formal engine. This paper seeks to raise the awareness of verification engineers on how best to make use of the code coverage data generated by different verification engines. The paper lays out the reasons for using code coverage and describes how simulation code covera... » read more

Advancing Electric Vehicle Battery Characterization By Integrating Drive Cycle On Cooling Impacts
By Ansys - 09 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Battery powered electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have been gaining market share as the public’s environmental concerns drive the demand for better fuel efficiency. Apart from the need to improve the mileage one can drive before recharging, battery reliability is another major concern. Effective cooling in intense charge/discharge conditions is crucial to minimizi... » read more

Navigating The Intersection Of Safety And Security
By Siemens EDA - 09 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Vehicle systems and the semiconductors used within them are some of the most complex electronics seen today. In the past, electronics going into vehicle systems implemented flat architectures with isolated functions controlling various components of the power train and vehicle dynamics. However, to support the realization of Level 4 and Level 5 (L4/L5) autonomous driving, a massive restructure ... » read more

A Framework For Ultra Low-Power Hardware Accelerators Using NNs For Embedded Time Series Classification
By Fraunhofer IIS/EAS - 09 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

In embedded applications that use neural networks (NNs) for classification tasks, it is important to not only minimize the power consumption of the NN calculation, but of the whole system. Optimization approaches for individual parts exist, such as quantization of the NN or analog calculation of arithmetic operations. However, there is no holistic approach for a complete embedded system design ... » read more

Research Bits: March 7
By Jesse Allen - 07 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Optical signal processing with acoustic waves Researchers from Pohang University of Science & Technology (POSTECH) demonstrated an optical-wave signal that can be amplified or canceled using optically driven acoustic waves on a silicon chip. Optical signal processing using Brillouin scattering, in which acoustic waves scatter light, has been demonstrated in nanophotonic structures. But ... » read more
