Where Do The Chips Fall In The Energy Transformation?
By Chris Shore - 13 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

The energy industry is in the first stages of a once-in-a-century transformation. And one of the most important aspects of this shift is that EVs, solar farms grid equipment, and appliances will inherently rely more on digital technologies. As Hamed Heyhat, General Manager of Grid Automation at General Electric, says, “Decarbonization cannot happen without digitization of the grid.” So h... » read more

SOT-MRAM To Challenge SRAM
By Bryon Moyer - 13 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 1

In an era of new non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies, yet another variation is poised to join the competition — a new version of MRAM called spin-orbit torque, or SOT-MRAM. What makes this one particularly interesting is the possibility that someday it could supplant SRAM arrays in systems-on-chip (SoCs) and other integrated circuits. The key advantages of SOT-MRAM technology are the pr... » read more

Advancing Signaling Rates To 64 GT/s With PCI Express 6.0
By Tim Messegee - 13 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

From the introduction of PCI Express 3.0 (PCIe 3.0) in 2010 onward, each new generation of the standard has offered double the signaling rate of its predecessor. PCIe 3.0 saw a significant change to the protocol with the move from 8b/10b to highly efficient 128b/130b encoding. The PCIe 6.0 specification, now officially released, doubles the signaling rate to 64 gigatransfers per second (GT/s) a... » read more

Is Programmable Overhead Worth The Cost?
By Brian Bailey - 13 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Programmability has fueled the growth of most semiconductor products, but how much does it actually cost? And is that cost worth it? The answer is more complicated than a simple efficiency formula. It can vary by application, by maturity of technology in a particular market, and in the context of much larger systems. What's considered important for one design may be very different for anothe... » read more

CES 2022: In Person But Not Many People
By Paul McLellan - 13 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

CES was and is officially hybrid, with some events on-site in Las Vegas and some online. But many of the large exhibitors pulled out of attending in person (including Cadence, although we might be a big exhibitor at DAC but at CES we are tiny). A lot of the press seems to have stayed away in-person too. To be honest, a lot of the press has been gradually staying away for years since so much is ... » read more

Accelerating Software Development With Fast Virtual Prototypes
By Synopsys - 12 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Most of today's largest semiconductor devices are highly complex system on chip (SoC) designs, which means that they include one or more embedded processors. This indicates that software provides some of the key functionality of the chip. The system cannot be fully verified or validated without both hardware and software. However, software development generally takes more time and resources to ... » read more

Components And Tools for Functional Safety Applications
By Arm - 12 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Functional safety is important across a variety of markets, including the automotive, industrial, medical, and railway sectors, and often prevalent in consumer electronics. However, the complexity of the embedded software required for functional safety is growing and security issues are rising due to connectivity requirements. This can result the failure of a safety-critical system and lead to ... » read more

High-Tech: Innovation At The Speed of Light
By Ansys - 12 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

As connectivity, digitalization, and autonomy proliferate, the boundaries between industries are blurring at an unprecedented pace. Promising to unleash $3TN in global technology market spending, the new competitive battleground is to be found where the system electronics and semiconductor worlds collide: The 3D Integrated Circuit System-on-a-Chip. Winning demands a new design paradigm that ... » read more

AI Goes Ultra Low Power — Part 1
By Fraunhofer IIS/EAS - 12 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Based on the concept of the new Federal Agency for Jump Innovations (PSRIN-D), the BMBF initiated three pilot innovation competitions. One of them presented the participants with the task of developing the most energy-efficient AI system possible as a hardware implementation on an ASIC or FPGA. With this, a stack of hundreds of two-minute long ECG signals should be analyzed with a minimum of en... » read more
