Pentesting: The Required Human Ingenuity to Uncover Security Gaps


A penetration test (or more commonly, “pentest”) is a software, infrastructure, and or network attack on your organization by a skilled attack team that probes for security weaknesses and seeks to exploit them to reach your assets. The testing team surveys the breadth of potential damage that can be done in an attack and delivers a report that helps an organization prioritize its security w... » read more

Beating the Edge AI Power Wall with Low Voltage Foundation IP


Edge AI is pushing the limits of power efficiency as intelligence moves closer to the data source. Designing for ultra-low voltage operation is now essential to achieve optimal performance-per-watt—but it introduces significant complexity in modeling, variation, and design predictability. In this white paper, discover how a unified, silicon-proven Foundation IP platform approach enables relia... » read more

DFT In Automotive


Ensuring automotive chips are reliable, defect-free, and secure adds a whole new dimension to design for testability (DFT). Depending on the safety criticality of a system in an automobile, tests can range from key-on, once a car is started, to safety-critical features that may need to be tested every couple hundred milliseconds during operation. Lee Harrison, director of automotive IC solution... » read more

The Emergence Of Electronics Digital Twins For Software-Defined Vehicles


Digital twins have long played a critical role in engineering and manufacturing. As virtual representations of physical products, systems, and processes, they help organizations innovate faster, improve quality, and reduce costs. Early digital twin technologies were primarily rooted in the physical world, modeling mechanical systems such as engines, buildings, and factory operations to simulate... » read more
