Navigating Reliability Potholes: Early 3D Stress Analysis For Automotive ICs


The rise of 3D integrated circuits (ICs) and heterogeneous packaging is reshaping how automotive ICs fulfill demanding analog and sensor requirements. Whether for radar, lidar, sensor fusion or domain controllers, advanced packaging enables new levels of integration—and performance—in automotive electronics. Yet, as these architectures grow more complex, they also introduce new forms of mec... » read more

How To Run Bluetooth PCM Loopback Test


Bluetooth device manufacturing involves ensuring the quality and performance of devices. One key test that’s used to verify the functionality of Bluetooth devices is the Bluetooth PCM lookback test, which ensures that both the hardware and software of the Bluetooth chip are operating correctly. What is the Bluetooth PCM lookback test? A Bluetooth pulse code modulation (PCM) lookback test... » read more

How Security Regulation Can Help Grid Stability


Grid stability is at risk. The advent of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), such as solar, wind, and batteries, has increased the attack surface of energy generation. While cities once had few power plants, they now host thousands of smaller, intermittent sources. These DERs are often managed by entities without uptime requirements. At the same time, traditional energy sources face greater de... » read more

Artificial Intelligence Of Things (AIoT) Guide


For organizations exploring connected technologies, the conversation around the Internet of Things (IoT) has shifted. They are looking to make devices smarter, responsive and capable of operating with greater insight. The Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) combines the sensor-driven, networked structure of IoT with the decision-making power of artificial intelligence (AI) at the edge t... » read more

How Fast A GPU Do You Need For Your User Interface?


Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are common across all walks of life, from your smartphones to your TVs and even in your cars. Over the past decade, their complexity has evolved, moving from a simple background with basic icons into beautiful device differentiators, with 3D elements and micro-interactions that enhance the experience: shifting the perception when a phone tilts, or providing an... » read more

6G Line-Of-Sight Repeaters, Dots, And Reflections


6G will open the door to ultra-reliable, low-latency communications, extended broadband, and machine communications, but its rapid signal attenuation places some sharp limits on where and how it can be used, and requires some expensive options to overcome those limitations. Applications include lifelike virtual reality for home and work use, highly interactive smart homes and cities, and aut... » read more

3D-ICs In The Automotive Market: Breaking Barriers With AI-Driven EDA Tools


The automotive industry is experiencing a significant transformation as it adopts innovations like autonomous driving technologies and ultra-connected ecosystems. At the core of this change is a rising demand for compact, high-performance semiconductor solutions that can handle the increasing complexity of modern vehicle architecture. One promising development is three-dimensional integrated ci... » read more

Cloud vs. Edge Gaming: Performance Gap Is Shrinking


Chip designers and gaming companies are scrambling to figure out whether the gaming market will tilt toward the cloud, the edge, or some combination of both. Multi-gigabit internet allows more people to play high-end games in the cloud, but edge-based gaming consoles and devices remain well-rooted, more secure, and private. Which one wins? So far, there are more questions than answers. Handh... » read more

Security Requirements And Penalties Grow For Chipmakers


Governments and systems companies are fundamentally changing the rules around semiconductor security, forcing chipmakers and their suppliers to comply with tough new regulations that require resiliency in hardware. Unlike in the past, chips and systems deployed in these markets must be able to respond to threats rather than waiting for the next version of a chip or IP to address vulnerabilities... » read more

Enabling Secure 5G Standalone (SA) Core Deployments


5G SA introduces a fundamentally new, cloud-native, service-based core architecture that enables exceptional performance, agility, and dynamic service delivery. It marks a departure from legacy 4G LTE and 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) models, offering enhanced flexibility and scalability to support diverse use cases through features like network slicing and rapid service innovation. However, this ... » read more
