Competing V2V Technologies Emerge, Create Confusion


The battle over vehicle-to-vehicle communications technology has begun, as governments step back to see which of two main competing standards and lots of related technology are best suited for reducing accidents. V2V is an often-discussed wireless communication protocol that enables vehicles to communicate with each other, easing traffic congestion, avoiding accidents, and ultimately improvi... » read more

Security Highlight: Compromising Printers Via Malicious Third-Party Cartridges


This fall, HP Inc. published an article describing a buffer overflow vulnerability in their printer software which would allow an attacker to obtain persistent remote code execution on the printer. Buffer overflow vulnerabilities are common, but what makes this one noteworthy is that it can be exploited remotely by a malicious third-party printer cartridge. In the printer ecosystem, there ... » read more

High-Quality Test And Embedded Analytics For Secure Applications


Designs for secure applications such as smart cards and those used in the defense industry require security to ensure sensitive data is inaccessible to outside agents. This used to be a somewhat niche requirement and the implementation of custom solutions to meet these specific requirements was common. However, with the explosion within the semiconductor industry of automotive and cyber-phys... » read more

Navigating The Intersection Of Safety And Security


Automotive IC safety and security continue to be hot topics across the industry, and one phrase you may often hear during discussion is: An automotive IC can be secure without needing to be safe, but an automotive IC cannot be safe without also being secure. Adding a bit of detail to that: An automotive IC which has an incomplete security architecture provides potential attack vectors w... » read more

Highly Reliable Solutions Unleashing The Benefits Of Predictive Maintenance


Time and again, malfunctions in devices inside a building like HVAC, elevator, refrigeration, and other building systems can lead to severe operational disruption, resulting in increasing maintenance costs and discomfort for its occupants. Predictive maintenance can be an effective way to avoid unplanned downtime. It monitors the condition of equipment in real time and schedules maintenance bef... » read more

Automotive Safety: Having The Right Product Portfolio In Place


Changes are happening in almost every aspect of automotive technology, although the main thrust can be encompassed in three megatrends. In the future, vehicles will be increasingly connected, and therefore cybersecurity protection is becoming more and more important. e-mobility will be a major contributor to CO2 reduction, resulting in the need for high-power semiconductors. And automated drivi... » read more

Securing Next-Gen 5G And IoT With Defensics Fuzzing


Expansion of the IoT brings new security challenges The evolution of 5G technologies continues to drive advancement in Internet of Things (IoT) devices and their applications. By 2025, experts predict there will be nearly 4 billion IoT mobile connections in the world, and more than 64 billion IoT devices by 2026. In addition to enabling superior performance and efficiency, 5G expands the ... » read more

Tensilica DSPs Support In Eigen Library


Eigen is a high-level C++ library of template headers for linear algebra, matrix and vector operations, geometrical transformations, numerical solvers, and related algorithms. Eigen is open-source software licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL2). Eigen is implemented using the expression templates metaprogramming technique, meaning it builds expression trees at compile time... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing


Automotive, Mobility Automotive chip shortages will continue until 2025, according to reports in a Financial Times (FT) article. Demand for SiC power chips will remain high. Onsemi reportedly is already sold out of the power semiconductors. Archer Aviation’s Midnight eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) is listed in the Federal Register now by The U.S. Federal Aviation Administr... » read more

Research Bits: Dec. 20


Patch tracks blood in deep tissue A skin-worn photoacoustic patch developed by a research team at the University of California San Diego is equipped with arrays of laser diodes and piezoelectric transducers to detect biomolecules in deep tissues, which usually would require a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-ray-computed tomography. The patch may help doctors tract hemoglobin in real tim... » read more
