SONOS Non-Volatile Memory Technology
By Infineon - 07 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

The demand for embedded flash memory has grown steeply over the years as many new applications emerged in consumer electronics (touchscreens, smart cards, bank cards, mobile payment, e-passport, etc.) in addition to the industrial system-on-chip (SOC) designs. The memory content of these applications has been increasing steadily due to greater requirements on system performance and code/data st... » read more

Redefining Hearing Aids With DSPs
By Vinod Khera - 07 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Hearing is one of the most essential senses for engaging with the world. It enables us to converse, appreciate music, and remain alert to our surroundings. Hearing loss is a prevalent issue affecting millions of individuals globally and disconnecting them from a world where sound is vital to others and the environment. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that over 5% of the global popul... » read more

Batteries Look Beyond Lithium
By Bryon Moyer - 07 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 1

Lithium batteries dominate today’s rechargeable battery market, and while they have been wildly successful, challenges with lithium have spurred research into alternative chemistries that can improve on some of lithium’s downsides and still keep as many of the upsides as possible. So far, none of the alternative batteries has seen commercial success, but several variants have moved beyon... » read more

Democratizing Roots of Trust from Silicon to Software
By Synopsys - 07 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

With a vast amount of devices getting connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) and the growing number of low-cost attacks being developed to hack such IoT devices, it is clear that the need for embedded security solutions is rising dramatically. A security subsystem in the main system-on-chip (SoC) of a device can be deployed to offer secure cryptographic services to the applications running o... » read more

Increasing Design Flexibility With RISC-V-Based Processor IP
By Rich Collins - 21 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor industry increasingly needs more flexible and scalable processor architectures, driving the growing adoption of RISC-V. Originally developed at the University of California, Berkeley, the open-source RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA) has become very popular in recent years. RISC-V allows designers to customize their processor implementations to meet the specific needs ... » read more

LLMs Show Promise In Secure IC Design
By Adam Kovac - 21 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

The introduction of large language models into the EDA flow could significantly reduce the time, effort, and cost of designing secure chips and systems, but they also could open the door to more sophisticated attacks. It's still early days for the use of LLMs in chip and system design. The technology is just beginning to be implemented, and there are numerous technical challenges that must b... » read more

Confidential Computing: A Key To Secure Cloud And Edge Environments
By Raj Uppala - 10 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Historically, data security was primarily focused on safeguarding data residing within systems controlled by the users themselves, such as on-premise storage and server infrastructure. In such a siloed environment, information stored on the storage media, Data-at-Rest, was encrypted to ensure security. Data-in-Motion (aka Data-in-Transit) was safeguarded by encrypting it before transmitting it ... » read more

Partial Header Encryption In Integrity And Data Encryption For PCIe
By Kunal Chhabriya - 10 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Partial Header Encryption (PHE) is an additional mechanism added to Integrity and Data Encryption (IDE) in PCIe 6.0 to prevent side-channel attacks based on attacker analysis of the information included in the headers. This blog narrates PHE flow and Cadence VIP support for PHE in IDE across PCIe/CXL protocols. Background Introducing PCIe's Integrity and Data Encryption Feature is an excell... » read more

CMA/SPDM—An Additional Layer of Security for PCIe Transport
By Suprio Biswas - 10 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

In today’s data-driven world, everyone is navigating a vast ocean of information that transcends across unsecured links and can easily fall prey to digital hackers. To keep our data safe, it is crucial to beef up security and make sure that only the right users can access our data.
