Sensor Requirements For Developing Robust Environment Perception Systems


In recent years, sensor systems for environment perception have become increasingly important – whether for adaptive robotics, automated driving, industrial process and quality control, or condition monitoring. The aim is always to detect and interpret certain environmental characteristics. In doing so, it’s important to choose not only the right algorithm but also the right sensor or senso... » read more

PCIe 7.0: Speed, Flexibility & Efficiency For The AI Era


As the industry came together for PCI-SIG DevCon last month, one thing took center stage, and that was PCI Express 7.0. While still in the final stages of development, the world is certainly ready for this significant new milestone of the PCIe specification. Let’s look at how PCIe 7.0 is poised to address the escalating demands of AI, high-performance computing, and emerging data-intensive ap... » read more

PCIe 6.0 Address Translation Services: Verification Challenges And Strategies


Address Translation Services (ATS) is a mechanism in PCIe that allows devices to request address translations from the Input/Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU). This is particularly important where devices need to access virtual memory. ATS enhances performance by enabling devices to cache translations, reducing the latency associated with memory access. This blog delves into the semantics ... » read more

On-Device Speaker Identification For Digital Television (DTV)


In recent years, the way we interact with our TVs has changed. Multiple button presses to navigate an on-screen keyboard have been replaced with direct interaction through our voices. While this has resulted in significant improvements to the Digital Television (DTV) user experience, more can be done to provide immersive and engaging experiences. Imagine you say, “recommend me a film” or... » read more

IC Power Optimization Required, But More Difficult To Achieve


Power optimization is playing an increasingly vital role in chip and chip and system designs, but it's also becoming much harder to achieve as transistor density and system complexity continue to grow. This is especially evident with advanced packages, chiplets, and high-performance chips, all of which are becoming more common in complex designs. Inside data centers, racks of servers are str... » read more

Data Center Thermal Management Improves


Thermal issues are plaguing semiconductor design at every level, from chips developed with single-digit nanometer processes to 100,000-square-foot data centers. The underlying cause is too many devices or services that require increasing amounts of power, and too few opportunities for the resulting heat to dissipate. “Everybody wants to try to do more in a small volume of space,” said St... » read more

How Simulation Addresses Hydrogen Fuel Challenges


By Kiyoung Jung and Kyutae Kim Hydrogen has gained the front seat as a fuel for carbon neutrality. The absence of carbon emission at the point of utilization makes it attractive for net-zero initiatives. Hydrogen fuel possesses qualities like higher flame speed (8x higher), lower ignition energy requirements (15x lower), and wider flammability limit (4% to 70%) compared to typical hydrocar... » read more

Rigid-Flex PCB Design Guidelines


This white paper is designed to guide you through the intricacies of rigid-flex printed circuit board (PCB) design. In today's electronics industry, there has never been more demand for compact, efficient, and versatile PCBs. Rigid-flex technology has emerged as a game-changer, offering engineers the flexibility to design boards that can bend and flex without sacrificing performance or reliabil... » read more

Evolving Edge Computing


Edge computing is a term that has been in use for a long time. Throughout the industry, there are many references to edge and many pre-conceptions about what that might mean. The term ‘edge’ is typically used for devices that exist on the edge of a network and can cover a plethora of use cases, ranging from the router in your house, a smart video camera surveying a parking lot, to a control... » read more

Speed AND Accuracy: First-Of-Its-Kind Broad-Spectrum CFD Solver Built Natively on GPUs


Since the advent of computational methods to solve physics problems, especially in the realm of fluid dynamics, scientists and engineers have had to balance the need for accurate simulations with faster times to solution — with available computing resources affecting this balance. Now, we introduce to you a new broad-spectrum native GPU solver created by developers at Ansys. Find more i... » read more
