Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the edge constraints and the need for security with Jeff DeAngelis, managing director of the Industrial and Healthcare Business Unit at Maxim Integrated; Norman Chang, chief technologist at Ansys; Andrew Grant, senior director of artificial intelligence at Imagination Technologies; Thomas Ensergueix, senior director of the automotive and IoT line of... » read more

Better Security, Lower Cost
By Ed Sperling - 10 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

For years, chipmakers have marginalized security in chips, relying instead on software solutions. Eventually that approach caught up with them, creating near panic in a scramble to plug weaknesses involving speculative execution and branch prediction, as well as the ability to read the data from chips with commercially available tools such as optical probes. There were several reasons for th... » read more

Upgrade Your SoC Design With USB4 IP
By Morten Christiansen - 07 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

USB4 is a new standard of connectivity by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF). USB4 supports multiple high-speed interface protocols, including USB4, DisplayPort, PCI Express, and Thunderbolt 3 for efficient data transfer and simultaneous delivery of data, power, and high-resolution video through a single USB Type-C cable. USB4 offers up to 40Gbps, which is twice that of the preceding USB 3.2 G... » read more

Combating Counterfeit Chips
By Paul Karazuba - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

The harsh reality is that today, the authenticity of chips is often impossible to guarantee. The counterfeit chip market is sizeable and growing with a worldwide value estimated at $75B in 2019. Those counterfeits are believed to have been integrated into more than $169B of electronic devices. Recent confirmed incidents of counterfeit parts found in electronic systems include defibrillators, ai... » read more

Welcome To 6 Minutes Of Security
By Sergio Marchese - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Yet another blog on security! Oh, wait, this is hardware security – and trust. While secure hardware should be free from vulnerabilities in general, I use the term trust to refer to the belief that a semiconductor intellectual property (IP) or integrated circuit (IC) is free from malicious, intentionally inserted vulnerabilities. Hardware security is on the rise. The media is helping. ... » read more

Hardware Security: A Critical Piece Of The Cybersecurity Puzzle
By Andreas Kuehlmann - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Cybersecurity is a critical foundation of our rapidly expanding digital world spanning hardware and software that powers everything from our personal devices to the global infrastructure. Over the past decade, significant progress has been made in many security domains, especially in maturing secure software development processes. So far, hardware security has received limited attention, howeve... » read more

Performance Metrics For Convolutional Neural Network Accelerators
By Vinay Mehta - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Across the industry, there are few benchmarks that customers and potential end users can employ to evaluate an inference acceleration solution end-to-end. Early on in this space, the performance of an accelerator was measured as a single number: TOPs. However, the limitations of using a single number has been covered in detail in the past by previous blogs. Nevertheless, if the method of cal... » read more

When You Can’t Afford To Scrimp On System Reliability
By Christine Young - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Failure happens, whether we like it or not. What’s important is to be prepared for failure to occur, which involves putting in place measures that allow us to quickly address or resolve the problem. But not all failures are created equally. For example, a laptop that you use daily might experience occasional glitches. If it’s well-designed, you can simply reset the machine to get it back to... » read more

Best Practices And Constraint Management Tools Speed RF Design For The IoT
By Jim Martens - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

By Jim Martens and David Zima The IoT has increased the demand for good radio frequency (RF) design practices from the mains, to wall outlet power, all the way to the antenna. With several IoT standards employed today, constraint management has become critical to ensuring that designs meet product performance and reliability. Even the simplest of IoT designs can benefit from constraint ma... » read more
