How Low Can You Go? Pushing The Limits Of Transistors
By Synopsys - 08 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Deep low voltage enablement of embedded memories and logic libraries to achieve extreme low power: Rising demand for cutting-edge mobile, IoT, and wearable devices, along with high compute demands for AI and 5G/6G communications, has driven the need for lower power systems-on-chip (SoCs). This is not only a concern for a device’s power consumption when active (dynamic power), but also when... » read more

Securing IoT Devices With Lightweight Cryptography
By Bart Stevens - 02 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently announced the selection of a new family of cryptographic algorithms called ASCON, which have been developed for lightweight cryptography applications. In this blog, we will explore what lightweight cryptography is and why it is worth considering for specific Internet of Things (IoT) use cases. In summary, lightweight cryptogr... » read more

Automotive IoT Security By Design
By Lee Harrison - 02 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

A good example of the wider adoption and application of IoT devices is in automotive uses. It’s a growing market, with the worldwide number of IoT-connected devices projected to increase to 43 billion by 2023, an almost threefold increase from 2018. The modern vehicles that host so many IoT devices are increasingly connected—for cellular over-the-air updates, but also potentially to comm... » read more

Security Highlight: Ascon
By Marc Witteman - 02 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

The contest for standardization of a lightweight crypto (LWC) algorithm has just finished. US standards body NIST selected Ascon as the winner. Ascon is an algorithm proposed by an international team of scientists that delivers strong performance and security at a low cost. How does that work? Lightweight crypto is symmetric encryption technology, that runs well on constrained systems, lik... » read more

Smart Energy Metering For A Greener Future
By Toshio Kimura - 23 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

One of the key ways we will realize a sustainable future is to optimize—and essentially reduce—our energy usage. Optimization starts with understanding how much energy we consume every day. And to understand this, we must measure the power we consume in everyday applications. The smart meter is an important tool to help us transition to a “greener” use of energy. What is a smart ene... » read more

Simplifying Integration And Security In Home Networks
By Marie C. Baca - 13 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

An explosion of devices connected to the internet is driving vendors to implement standards that simplify the initial setup and improve security and integration with other devices, regardless of brand, network protocols, or country of origin. Farthest along in this multi-ecosystem merge is the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), which today is supported by more than 500 companies, includi... » read more

Solving Problems With The IoT
By John Koon - 02 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

The Internet of Things, a term once applied to almost any "smart" gadget connected to the Internet, is becoming more useful, more complex, and more of a security risk as the value of data continues to grow and more people depend on IoT technology. In the decades since the concept was first introduced, IoT devices have become so ubiquitous that applications cover practically every consumer, c... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Marie C. Baca - 27 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

The U.S. Department of Defense updated the directive that governs the development and fielding of autonomous and semi-autonomous weapon systems. The revisions include an expanded focus on artificial intelligence, and reference to recently-established organizations like the DoD’s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office. NIST released a new guidance document aimed at helping organi... » read more

The New Convergence: IoT, AI, And 5G Bring Actionable Intelligence To The Factory Floor
By Sailesh Chittipeddi - 26 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Last year, I reflected on the Renesas Renaissance in terms of how our long-term growth strategy is positioning the company as a full-spectrum, global technology solutions provider with an extended physical footprint in the U.S., Europe, and China. Thanks to the acquisitions of Intersil, IDT, Dialog Semiconductor, and Celeno we now have expansive design capabilities that surround our embedded... » read more

Choosing The Right Memory At The Edge
By Ed Sperling - 09 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

As the amount of data produced by sensors in cars and phones continues to grow, more of that data needs to be processed locally. It takes too much time and power to send it all to the cloud. But choosing the right memory for a particular application requires a series of tradeoffs involving cost, bandwidth, power, which can vary greatly by device, application, and even the data itself. Frank Fer... » read more
