RISC-V Unleashes Your Imagination
By Giancarlo Parodi - 04 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

Since October 2020, Renesas has been officially active in the RISC-V microcontroller space and successfully launched two ASSP products, for motor control and voice-driven HMI systems. Now a general-purpose MCU enhances the RISC-V portfolio. It is the first MCU using a RISC-V core developed internally at Renesas. The R9A02G021 general-purpose microcontroller features an interesting mix of an... » read more

AI Performance And Real-Time Control In Robotics And Autonomous Applications
By Shingo Kojima - 07 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

Recent vision AI models have to deal with dynamic and complex environments, resulting in the need for more power efficiency and speed in real-time applications. To meet the market needs, Renesas released the next-generation Dynamically Reconfigurable Processor for AI (DRP-AI) accelerator. The DRP-AI accelerator delivers high-power efficiency of 10 TOPS/W, up to 10 times higher than the conve... » read more

Companies That Embrace Digital Transformation Have More Resilient Design And Supply Chains
By Sailesh Chittipeddi - 01 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

Digital transformation has evolved quickly from a conceptual phase to a semiconductor industry change agent. The rapid take up of AI-enhanced product development is only accelerating this transformation and is further influenced by two connected trends: The movement of Moore’s Law from transistor scaling to system-level scaling, and the relatively recent redistribution of the global electroni... » read more

Semiconductor Device Manufacturing Process Challenges And Opportunities
By Andreas Bier - 07 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor device manufacturing involves a complex series of processes that transform raw materials into finished devices. The process typically involves four major stages: wafer fabrication, wafer testing, assembly or packaging, and final testing. Each stage has its own unique set of challenges and opportunities. The semiconductor device manufacturing process faces several challenges, inclu... » read more

Closing The Performance Gap Between DRAM And AI Processors
By Balaji Kanigicherla - 02 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

As the workhorse of semiconductor memory, DRAM holds a unique place in the industry thanks to its large storage capacity and ability to feed data and program code to the host processor quickly. Lately, this unsung hero of the circuit board has been taking a backseat to its logic counterparts, as a wave of high-performance FPGAs, CPUs, GPUs, TPUs and custom accelerator ASICs emerges to meet t... » read more

Protecting Highly Confidential Data In IoT Devices
By Masaki Hama - 05 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

How should we approach the protection of highly confidential security parameters and personal data? It's just like our daily routines: when we leave home, we lock the door and take care not to lose the key. Similarly, in the realm of cybersecurity, safeguarding cryptographic keys is paramount. No matter how robust your data protection system is, it's rendered ineffective if keys or passwords... » read more

Radar Transceivers: How To Connect The Antennas
By Marta Martinez Vazquez - 07 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

There are different antenna options for transmitting and receiving a radar signal. This blog will focus on how to connect a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) radar transceiver to the antennas in a way that guarantees an efficient transfer of the signals. mmWave MMIC to antenna interfaces At millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies, any transitions between two different transmission l... » read more

Semiconductor Industry Is Pulling AI Across A Diversity Of End Uses And Applications
By Sailesh Chittipeddi - 03 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of joining a group of industry peers during SEMICON West and the Design Automation Conference in San Francisco for an enlightening panel discussion that we organized titled, “How AI Is Reinventing the Semiconductor Industry Inside and Out.” Moderated by Gartner, I was joined on the panel by senior executives from Advantest, Synopsys and the TinyML Foun... » read more

Reducing Noise Issues In Microcontroller Systems: Part 1
By Graeme Clark - 22 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

In my ideal digital world, of which I often dream, signal voltage margins are always positive, signal timing margins are always positive, power supply voltages are always within the operating voltage range, and our environment is completely benign. Unfortunately, none of us live in this ideal world, no matter how much I would like to. The real world is dirty and noisy, and the power distribu... » read more

Connectivity Challenges In Industry 4.0
By Kayoko Nemoto - 25 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

Industry 4.0 is characterized by interoperability (such as IIoT), information transparency (digital plant models: virtual copy of physical world), technical support (the ability of cyber-physical systems to support humans by executing various tasks), and decentralized decision-making. IIoT allows devices to be connected, creating a virtual copy of real-world data that allows operators to visual... » read more
