How ADAS and EVs Drive Semiconductor-To-Automotive Supply Chain Innovation
By Joey Tun - 27 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

As EV and ADAS become the focus for the automotive industry, the supply chain is going through a transformation. The industry is keenly reminded of recent semiconductor shortages as well as the growing semiconductor content requirements per vehicle.  This prompts the entire supply chain including traditional semiconductor suppliers, Tier-1s, and automotive OEMs to rethink their strategies not ... » read more

Why IC Industry Is Great Place To Work
By SE Staff - 23 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 1

In honor of International Women in Engineering Day (June 23), here are some thoughts from Samantha Tan, Lam Research Fellow, about her path to the semiconductor industry and why it is a great place to work. SE: How did you get interested in science and engineering? I became interested during middle school when I started learning about science in depth for the first time. I was fascinated ... » read more

Reducing Noise Issues In Microcontroller Systems: Part 1
By Graeme Clark - 22 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

In my ideal digital world, of which I often dream, signal voltage margins are always positive, signal timing margins are always positive, power supply voltages are always within the operating voltage range, and our environment is completely benign. Unfortunately, none of us live in this ideal world, no matter how much I would like to. The real world is dirty and noisy, and the power distribu... » read more

Developing A Customized RISC-V Core For MEMS Sensors
By Tora Fridholm - 22 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

We recently described how Codasip Labs is working with the NimbleAI project to push the boundaries of neuromorphic vision. Let’s talk about another cool project. This project is focused on another sense, hearing. We will use our unique Codasip Studio design toolset to develop a customized RISC-V core for MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) sensors. Again, technology is inspired by bio... » read more

Verifying Low-Temperature Soldering Compliance For CO2 Savings And Enhanced Product Performance
By William Chen - 01 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

In a conventional lead-free soldering process reflow ovens operate continuously at about 260°C. An effective alternative capable of operating at a lower temperature could significantly reduce the running costs and CO2 emissions associated with electronic manufacturing. There are also advantages to be gained from the reduction in the thermal stresses imposed on circuit boards and components by ... » read more

Fully Reconfigurable DSP: As Fast As Hardwired At ~2x Area/Power
By Jeremy Roberson - 01 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

Today if you want high performance DSP you have three choices: Hardwire your function – zero flexibility Use DSP IP based on VLIW Use FPGAs with DSP MACs or math engines What we hear from customers is that there is a growing need for very fast and very flexible DSP, which hardwired solutions can’t address. And that the fastest solutions are FPGAs, but they are big, high pow... » read more

How Sub-THz Will Impact the Future Of 6G
By Alejandro Escobar Calderon - 30 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

By Alejandro Escobar Calderon and Gerardo Orozco The world is more connected than ever before and, while this notion isn’t new, many of us fail to fully grasp at times the magnitude of connection growth speed. As of 2022, the world had around 13.2B IoT connections (Ericsson Mobile) with a YoY growth of 13%. Additionally, mobile network data traffic has doubled every two years since 2019. T... » read more

Connectivity Challenges In Industry 4.0
By Kayoko Nemoto - 25 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

Industry 4.0 is characterized by interoperability (such as IIoT), information transparency (digital plant models: virtual copy of physical world), technical support (the ability of cyber-physical systems to support humans by executing various tasks), and decentralized decision-making. IIoT allows devices to be connected, creating a virtual copy of real-world data that allows operators to visual... » read more

No One-Size-Fits-All Approach To RISC-V Processor Optimization
By Mike Eftimakis - 25 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

As the demand for high-performance processors continues to grow and semiconductor scaling laws continue to show their limits, the need for processor optimization is inevitable. As I explained in a previous blog, RISC-V is designed to enable this. However, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to processor optimization. As each workload and each application will have their own requirements, th... » read more

Issues And Challenges In Super-Resolution Object Detection And Recognition
By Jeremy Roberson - 04 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

If you want high performance AI inference, such as Super-Resolution Object Detection and Recognition, in your SoC the challenge is to find a solution that can meet your needs and constraints. You need inference IP that can run the model you want at high accuracy. You need inference IP that can run the model at the frame rate you want: higher frame rate = lower latency, more time for dec... » read more
