Optimizing Analog For Power At Advanced Nodes
By Ann Mutschler - 09 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

As any engineering manager will tell you, analog and digital engineers seem like they could be from different planets. While this has changed somewhat over time, [getkc id="52" comment="analog"] is still something of a mystery to many in [getkc id="81" kc_name="SoC"] design teams. Throw power management into the mix and things really get interesting. Improvements in analog/mixed-signal tools... » read more

By Brian Bailey - 09 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor Engineering sat down with a panel of experts to find out what is happening in world of memories. Taking part in the discussion are [getperson id="11073" comment="Charlie Cheng"], chief executive officer at [getentity id="22135" e_name="Kilopass Technology"]; Navraj Nandra, senior director of marketing for Analog/Mixed signal IP, embedded memories and logic libraries at [getentity ... » read more

Energy Boost For Power Standards
By Brian Bailey - 09 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

If the amount of standards work and industry effort that is being expended on a given topic is any indicator of the growing importance of a design concern, then power has most certainly become the hottest topic in the industry. Thankfully, it seems as if everyone has learned their lessons from the CPF/[gettech id="31044" t_name="UPF"] struggles and is attempting to coordinate activities, while ... » read more

One-On-One: Mike Muller
By Ed Sperling - 08 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor Engineering sat down with [getentity id="22186" comment="ARM"] CTO Mike Muller, who first coined the term 'dark silicon,' to talk about what's changing, why the company is focusing so heavily on software and security in addition to power, and how the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"] will change design and vice versa. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. S... » read more

High-Level Gaps Emerge

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the attributes of a high-level, front-end design flow, and why it is needed at present with Leah Clark, associate technical director for digital video technology at [getentity id="22649" e_name="Broadcom"]; Jon McDonald, technical marketing engineer at [getentity id="22017" e_name="Mentor Graphics"]; Phil Bishop, vice president of the System Level D... » read more

Fueling the IoT
By Ernest Worthman - 02 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

As the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"] evolves, it brings along new paradigms. Some are simply reworked, relabeled, or re-branded ideas, concepts, or technologies. But some are new and novel, and will benefit from this ubiquitous, multi-billion device intelligent, uber-interconnected platform. Some of the things the IoT will drive include semiconductors, big data and crowd sourc... » read more

Securing The IoT
By Ed Sperling - 02 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss whether the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"] will be secure enough, or whether it will create new security issues, with Sami Nassar, general manager of [getentity id="22499" comment="NXP Semiconductor"]; Oleg Logvinov, director for special assignments at [getentity id="22331" comment="STMicroelectronics"]; and Lawrence Loh, application e... » read more

Making Smart Grids Safe
By Ernest Worthman - 02 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

There is little doubt that an intelligent power grid is not only desirable, but necessary in today’s power hungry world. As the global power grid veins its electric tentacles into the farthest reaches of the ecosystem, being able to allocate and monitor what power is needed, where and when will be the model going forward. There are a lot of issues that face the deployment of a smart grid �... » read more

IoT Standards Needed
By Ed Sperling - 02 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

The promise of the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"] is effortless communication between devices, all of which are smart enough to transmit data to the Internet directly, or through connecting hubs, and to ad hoc devices that are authorized to be added to a personal or industrial network. What's not yet clear is how that promise will be realized. Even though many devices are desig... » read more

The JTAG Connection
By Ernest Worthman - 02 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

It is fairly common knowledge that hacking into today’s intelligent Internet devices is child’s play in most cases. The main reason is that the devices have little or no innate security designed in. When they do have some level of security, it is generally provisioned by software running on the host system, to which the devices are connected. But that only works with a device on the grid. O... » read more
