The Unavoidable CMMC Deadline


The U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) rollout is no longer a future concern. It is rapidly becoming a contract eligibility requirement with a fixed end date. This solution brief, drawn from Keysight’s commissioned primary research on CMMC readiness across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), explains why the deadline is unavoidable and why or... » read more

How Long Will CAN Stick Around As Rival Networks Speed Up?


Key Takeaways Automotive Ethernet is rapidly becoming the backbone of software-defined vehicles for higher bandwidth, scalability, and advanced features like TSN and security that legacy protocols cannot match. CAN, LIN, and other legacy networks will not disappear quickly because they are deeply embedded, low‑cost, and proven, but they are increasingly seen as inadequate for future A... » read more

Batteries Charge To The Edge


Long-awaited advances in battery chemistry and materials science are beginning to roll out, opening the door for higher capacity, faster charging, and much lower likelihood of thermal runaway. This is a high-stakes race, fueled by an insatiable demand for power everywhere from handheld devices to data centers. When Finland's Donut Lab claimed earlier this year that it had developed a solid-s... » read more

Developing A Security Framework For Chiplet-Based Systems


In a previous blog, From Monolithic SoCs to Chiplets: A New Hardware Security Paradigm, we discussed why chiplets change the game from a security perspective, and why security must be addressed at a platform-level in a chiplet-based system. In a monolithic SoC, device identity is often anchored in a single root of trust that owns key material and policy. In a chiplet platform, every security... » read more

Automated Multiphysics For Successful 3D-IC Design


By John Ferguson and Sheltha Nolke For design teams adopting 3D-IC architectures, the relentless pursuit of performance and reliability brings a familiar, yet increasingly complex, set of challenges: how do we manage power, dissipate heat and navigate the intricate dance of physics within these stacked architectures? While 3D-ICs offer significant advantages in size, performance, power effic... » read more

AI Demand Resets Memory Market Priorities, Tightening NOR Flash Availability


The memory sector is entering a major turning point as the industry adjusts to what many now call the AI memory supercycle. Although most headlines focus on high bandwidth memory (HBM) and advanced NAND fueling the rapid expansion of AI data centers, a quieter but important consequence is emerging: shifts in production priorities are beginning to affect the supply of NOR flash across a wide ra... » read more

Agent Card Poisoning: A Metadata Injection Vulnerability In The Systems Using Google A2A Protocol


Modern multi-agent systems built on the Google A2A protocol enable dynamic discovery and delegation between autonomous agents through structured metadata known as agent cards. These cards describe capabilities, endpoints, and operational details that the host agent uses to plan task delegation. However, when agent cards are injected directly into an LLM’s reasoning context without strict boun... » read more

World First: MACsec IP Receives ISO/PAS 8800 Certification For Automotive And Physical AI Security


The automotive industry is entering the age of physical AI. Vehicles are rapidly transforming into intelligent, software-defined systems that perceive their environment, make real-time decisions, and act in the physical world. As autonomy expands and AI workloads move to the edge, one reality is becoming clear: If the data cannot be trusted, the AI cannot be trusted. Following independent... » read more

Moving Electrons, Not Just Vehicles


Key Takeaways: There are several ways to convert AC power from the grid to DC power in the system. Some degrade the battery faster than others. Battery management systems monitor cell voltage, current, and temperature, helping to estimate state of charge, health, and useful remaining life. A PMIC with a multi-level converter is the most efficient way to get power from the battery to ... » read more

Reinventing Embedded Memory: Solving The SRAM Scaling Wall


As AI, automotive, and data centers continue to scale exponentially, one part of the chip has quietly become a bottleneck: embedded memory. Modern designs now dedicate more than half of their silicon area to SRAM, yet SRAM no longer scales with Moore's law in advanced CMOS nodes. The result? Larger chips, higher power, and rising costs. RAAAM is a deep-tech startup spun out of Bar-Ilan Unive... » read more
