IoT Debugging Crosses The Hardware-Software Divide
By Paul Hill - 09 Apr, 2020 - Comments: 0

By Paul Hill and Gordon MacNee Debugging is an important part of embedded design; one that necessarily crosses the hardware/software divide. At a system level, the functionality of an embedded design is increasingly defined by firmware, so avoiding bugs requires engineers with specific disciplines to work closely together during the design phase of a project. It can also mean resisting the u... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Susan Rambo - 03 Apr, 2020 - Comments: 0

Synopsys has added nanoscale and macroscale illumination optics to its RSoft Photonic Device Tools version 2020.03. ARVR designers can use the RSoft-LightTools Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Function (BSDF) interface to make interpolated BSDF files for optimized nanoscale and macroscale optics, such as freeform optical prism projectors, eye tracking technologies, and optical planar waveg... » read more

The IoT Of COVID-19
By Susan Rambo - 02 Apr, 2020 - Comments: 1

Data from the Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile devices is providing a surprising view on the COVID-19 pandemic. Like an invisible hurricane churning over us, the pandemic’s effects are huge, but the tiny virus that causes it is very difficult to see directly. Data can save lives. Early detection, isolating those who are positive, contact tracing and isolating those who had contact are k... » read more

PUF, The Magic IoT Defender
By Christine Young - 02 Apr, 2020 - Comments: 0

How would you feel if you put hours of effort and your ingenuity into designing a product, only to find cheaper copycats on the market? And what if, over time, those copycats failed and somehow eroded your company’s brand reputation? It happens more often than it should, especially as hackers up their game in sophistication and consumers get attracted to lower cost options. So that’s why... » read more

Power/Performance Bits: March 24
By Jesse Allen - 24 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 0

Backscatter Wi-Fi radio Engineers at the University of California San Diego developed an ultra-low power Wi-Fi radio they say could enable portable IoT devices. Using 5,000 times less power than standard Wi-Fi radios, the device consumes 28 microwatts while transmitting data at a rate of 2 megabits per second over a range of up to 21 meters. "You can connect your phone, your smart devices, ... » read more

Power Management Becomes Top Issue Everywhere
By Ann Mutschler - 12 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 1

Power management is becoming a bigger challenge across a wide variety of applications, from consumer products such as televisions and set-top-boxes to large data centers, where the cost of cooling server racks to offset the impact of thermal dissipation can be enormous. Several years ago, low-power design was largely relegated to mobile devices that were dependent on a battery. Since then, i... » read more

5G And AI Raise Security Risks For IoT Devices
By Rambus - 11 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 0

This IDC Technology Spotlight, sponsored by Rambus, highlights the fifth generation of cellular network technology (5G) is scaling further in 2020, enabling a new wave of AI-powered end points. To remain competitive, manufacturers must implement enhanced security measures on edge and IoT devices designed for the increased performance in speed, latency, and connection density.

Improving Wafer-Level S-Parameters Measurement Accuracy And Stability With Probe-Tip Power Calibration Up To 110 GHz For 5G Applications
By FormFactor - 09 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 0

Author: Choon Beng Sia, FormFactor Inc., Singapore Demands for mission critical wireless services such as autonomous driving and telehealth require higher data transfer rates and lower latencies. Such applications are now driving the use of radio frequencies (RF) at 28, 38, 60 and 73 GHz for the emerging 5G mobile communication systems. Waferlevel RF measurements of devices or circuits for 5... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing

AI/Edge The United States Department of Defense (DOD) has adopted ethical principles for using artificial intelligence in warfare that chiefly say the U.S. has to follow the laws, treaties, in use of AI in warfare. Any AI used by DOD has to be responsible, equitable, traceable, reliable and governable. “The Department will design and engineer AI capabilities to fulfill their intended functio... » read more

An Increasingly Complicated Relationship With Memory
By Brian Bailey - 27 Feb, 2020 - Comments: 4

The relationship between a processor and its memory used to be quite simple, but in modern SoCs there are multiple heterogeneous processors and accelerators, each needing a different means of accessing memory for maximum efficiency. Compromises are being made in order to preserve the unified programming model of the past, but the pressures are increasing for some fundamental changes. It does... » read more
