Speeding 5G Network Infrastructure Design
By eSilicon - 29 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

As the world becomes more connected and digital, the need for more data and higher speed is evident. The increase in global internet traffic, along with decentralization of cloud and data centers, has driven wired and wireless networks to support 5G network infrastructures. 5G technology promises to enable 1,000 times more traffic, 10 times faster speed and a 10 times increase in throughput. Th... » read more

Cadence's Meera Collier traces the evolution of computing through the series of bottlenecks the industry has needed to overcome and what's being done to address the latest one. Mentor's Rebecca Lord checks out the use of differential signals to mitigate the effects of electromagnetic interference, noise, and crosstalk in PCBs. Synopsys' Taylor Armerding considers whether Ireland's slow en... » read more

In-Chip Monitoring Becoming Essential Below 10nm
By Ann Mutschler - 20 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

Rising systemic complexity and more potential interactions in heterogeneous designs is making it much more difficult to ensure a chip, or even a block within a chip, will functioning properly without actually monitoring that behavior in real-time. Continuous and sporadic monitoring have been creeping into designs for the past couple of decades. But it hasn’t always been clear how effective... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 17 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

Tools & IP Cadence introduced the Tensilica Vision Q7 DSP, which provides up to 1.82 TOPS and is specifically optimized for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). The DSP has a very long instruction word (VLIW) SIMD architecture, an enhanced instruction set supporting 8/16/32-bit data types and optional VFPU support for single and half precision, and a number of iDMA enhancements in... » read more

The Limits Of Energy Harvesting
By Ed Sperling and Kevin Fogarty - 09 May, 2019 - Comments: 4

Energy harvesting, once considered an inexpensive alternative to low-power design and a way of achieving nearly unlimited power in mobile devices, has settled down to more modest expectations. This approach to generating energy through a variety of means—from solar to motion to ambient RF and even pH differences between soil and trees—has been proven to work. The problem is that it doesn... » read more

Raising The Abstraction Level For Power
By Brian Bailey - 09 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

Power-aware design is still a relatively new concern for many semiconductor products, and since inception it has changed several times and in different ways. Initially people were concerned about peak power. Today, they care about peak, total energy, thermal and other effects. The industry has tried several abstractions ranging from system-level analysis, which promised to swamp implementati... » read more

End-To-End Cell–Pack–System Solution: Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery
By Ansys - 08 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

Industry has become more interested in developing optimal energy storage systems as a result of increasing gasoline prices and environmental concerns. A major application for energy storage use is hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs). The rechargeable energy storage system is a key design issue, as it dominates overall vehicle performance. The system as a whole must deliv... » read more

Blog Review: May 8

Synopsys' Taylor Armerding warns that the threat of cyber war on the financial system is a real possibility and points to four major vulnerability concerns. Cadence's Meera Collier takes a look at bees and technology, from smart hives to sensors that can be carried on the insects' backs. Mentor's Brent Klingforth argues that electrical and mechanic designers need to seamlessly share infor... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 03 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

ANSYS acquired the assets of DfR Solutions, a developer of automated design reliability analysis software. Founded in 2004 and based in Maryland, DfR's tool translates ECAD and MCAE data into 3D finite element models, automates thermal derating and performs thermal and mechanical analysis of electronics earlier in the design cycle. "ANSYS brings industry-leading electronic simulation capabiliti... » read more

Blog Review: May 1
By Jesse Allen - 01 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

Synopsys' Melissa Kirschner questions whether a unified standard for safety-related code development will be enough to secure connected cars as MISRA and AUTOSAR merge C++ guidelines. In a podcast, Mentor's Brent Klingforth and John McMillan share questions and answers about rigid-flex PCB design, including the value of incorporating flexible circuits and the key challenges faced when doing ... » read more
