Chip Monitoring For Max Performance And Security


In a semiconductor market dominated by SoCs for high-performance computing, AI, automotive and 5G, semiconductor companies face myriad challenges and device requirements. The specific challenges for any given SoC vary but can include issues around performance debug and security against hacking. Top of the list includes the need to ensure quality, enhance safety, optimize performance, and increa... » read more

The Architect’s Dilemma And Closing The Loop With Implementation


Gordon Moore has left a mark on our industry. Moore's Law has shaped decades of development. The EDA industry has been moving up the layers of abstraction to increase the productivity and predictability of design flows in our efforts to address the ever-increasing complexity of semiconductors and electronics developments. I had written about it in "Chasing The Next Level Of Productivity" not lo... » read more

At Riscure, we like to explore new technologies that can help us better help our customers. Undoubtedly, the latest famous new applications are various versions of ChatGPT, a recently accessible chatbot that you can interact with in natural language, and which has been trained on a large section of the knowledge available on the internet. Adversarially-minded people soon published the many f... » read more

Connect To Any Chip With Programmable GPIO


Your MCU/SoC today may have several options for GPIO connections: UART, SPI, I2C. But there are dozens of variations and kinds of GPIO interface protocols: you don’t have enough pins to provide all of them as hardwired options. As a result, a significant number of your customers either can’t use your chip because they need to connect to another with a GPIO interface you don’t support, ... » read more

What’s Required To Secure Chips


Experts at the Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to talk about how to verify that a semiconductor design will be secure, with Mike Borza, Synopsys scientist; John Hallman, product manager for trust and security at Siemens EDA; Pete Hardee, group director for product management at Cadence; Paul Karazuba, vice president of marketing at Expedera; and Dave Kelf, CEO of Breker Verification. ... » read more

Navigating The Intersection Of Safety And Security


Automotive ICs can be secure without needing to be safe, but a safety critical IC cannot be safe without also being secure. Addressing the intersection of safety and security in highly complex automotive SoCs is challenging even for veteran project teams. This paper focuses on how these two domains intersect, what to consider when analyzing and implementing both safety and security architect... » read more

Threat Modeling, Decoded — Charting The Security Journey


Connected systems are part of the modern world. There is virtually no aspect of life that is not available online, from shopping and booking tickets to dating, banking, and attending medical appointments. And these trends show no sign of stopping. On the contrary, many services are moving to digital-first or digital-only models, and every day, new products— from toasters to autonomous vehicle... » read more

XENSIV PAS CO2


This white paper demonstrates how Infineon’s new CO2 sensor XENSIVTM PAS CO2, based on photo-acoustic spectroscopy (PAS) technology, is compatible with the sensor requirement defined by the WELL Building Standard and the LEED rating system. The evidence presented is based on conceptual and experimental data. The document also provides a detailed analysis of the contribution of the sen... » read more

Adding Security Into Test


Security is becoming a much bigger concern as more electronics are added into cars, as more devices are connected to the internet, and as the value of data continues to increase. The problem is that security is dynamic. It continues to change throughout the lifetime of a system, and some of these devices are expected to last for a decade or more. Lee Harrison, director of Tessent product market... » read more
