The Week In Review: IoT
By Jeff Dorsch - 10 Mar, 2017 - Comments: 0

Products NASA this week deployed its latest Technology Educational Satellite, TechEdSat-5, from the International Space Station. The satellite, said to be about the size of a fire extinguisher, will provide wireless data communications for ISS payloads and other satellites. TechEdSat-5 has Digi XBee 802.15.4 modules from Digi International to use in the test program. Flexpoint Sensor System... » read more

Big Data On Wheels
By Jeff Dorsch - 02 Mar, 2017 - Comments: 0

By Jeff Dorsch & Ed Sperling All kinds of chips are going into driver-assisted and autonomous cars. On one side are arrays of sensors, which are generating huge amounts of data about everything from lane position and proximity to other cars to unexpected objects in the road. On the other side are the chips required to process that data at blazing speed. As the market for PCs and mobil... » read more

“Designing to Evolving 4G and Pre-5G Requirements” was the title of a Tuesday morning tutorial at DesignCon 2017 in Santa Clara, Calif. Talk of 5G naturally segued into Internet of Things discussion during the session. Parviz Yegani, a consultant with GHB Intellect, laid out the IoT use cases that could be enhanced by 5G technology: Shopping, population-dense urban areas, remote computin... » read more

Performance Increasingly Tied To I/O
By Ed Sperling - 18 Jan, 2017 - Comments: 0

Speeding up input and output is becoming a cornerstone for improving performance and lowering power in SoCs and ASICs, particularly as scaling processors and adding more cores produce diminishing returns. While processors of all types continue to improve, the rate of improvement is slowing at each new node. Obtaining the expected 30% to 50% boost in performance and lower power no longer can ... » read more

2017: Manufacturing And Markets
By Brian Bailey - 12 Jan, 2017 - Comments: 0

While the industry is busy chatting about the end of Moore's Law and a maturing of the semiconductor industry, the top minds of many companies are having none of it. A slowdown in one area is just an opportunity, in another and that is reflected in the predictions for this year. As in previous years, Semiconductor Engineering will look back on these predictions at the end of the year to see ... » read more

Software Platforms Bridge The Design/Verification Gap For 5G Communications Design
By David Vye - 15 Dec, 2016 - Comments: 0

The integration of simulation technologies, system prototyping tools, and automated test equipment is critical for addressing the complexity of developing 5G wireless technology. In these cases, design teams will need to rely on a combination of simulation and prototype testing in order to ensure design robustness. Although simulation is essential to design a test bed or prototype, measurement... » read more

Car Becomes A Living Platform
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Dec, 2016 - Comments: 0

Future generations of vehicles will age like any other electronic or mechanical devices, but they also will need to adapt, grow, and change in unexpected ways over time to avoid being hacked, rendered obsolete, or otherwise compromised. This adds a whole new set of challenges never seen before in automotive development, and OEMs are working feverishly to bring system architectures up to ... » read more

Ron DiGiuseppe, Senior Strategic Marketing Manager at Synopsys: Our customers are very broadly requiring ISO26262 safety compliance in our products as well a... » read more

Software Platforms Bridge The Design/Verification Gap For 5G Communications Design
By David Vye - 17 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 0

We are entering the third phase of information connectivity, one that will change the use of wireless technology dramatically. The first phase connected homes and businesses through wired telephony and the early internet via dial-up modems. Over the last few decades, the development of communication networks has been superseded by wireless mobile technology connecting people instead of places. ... » read more
