Blog Review: Nov. 9
By Jesse Allen - 09 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 0

Mentor's Andrew Patterson highlights two of the main debates around IoT: how to connect and how much security is enough. Cadence's Paul McLellan checks out one company's design for a dataflow processing unit to speed up deep learning networks. Prepare for USB to be everywhere in the autonomous car, says Synopsys' Eric Huang. Rambus' Aharon Etengoff argues that the end of Dennard Scalin... » read more

What’s Next For IoT Security?
By Ed Sperling - 07 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling & Jeff Dorsch With security, the little things can cause as much of a problem as the big things. As shown in the recent distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) on Dyn, which created waves of attacks using Mirai malware, connected devices of all sizes can be amassed into an army of bots that can bring even giants like Amazon and Netflix to a dead stop. This attack was ... » read more

M&A Lattice Semiconductor is set for a buyout by private equity fund Canyon Bridge at a price of $1.3 billion, or $8.30 per share. Lattice will operate as a standalone subsidiary and does not expect any changes in operations or management. The deal is expected to close in early 2017. Earlier this week, Lattice announced a low power, small form factor FPGA for 5G SERDES applications. The ... » read more

Should Processing Take Place At End Nodes?
By Ann Mutschler - 03 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 0

Last week at ARM TechCon — which I found extremely interesting for the deep technical content — there was much discussion around where processing should happen in our connected world. (I’m really trying to stay away from the nebulous term, ‘IoT.’) Some believe the processing should happen at the edge nodes, while others believe it should all take place in the data center; I’ve ev... » read more

Will 5G Enable Connected Cars?
By Ann Mutschler - 03 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 1

As the telecom, automotive and semiconductor ecosystems rally to develop solutions for next-generation mobile networks for the connected car, 5G technology has emerged as a strong contender. Fifth-generation mobile networks will enable data transmission rates of more than 10Gps, connecting machines to machines, as well as everything else, including smartphones, IoT devices that require a... » read more

Healthcare IoT: Promise And Peril
By Gale Morrison - 03 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 1

By Gale Morrison & Ed Sperling As more connectivity and communication capability is built into everyday healthcare and medical devices, engineers are tasked with ensuring these devices are both completely secure and ultra-reliable. Reliability generally is measured in mean time between failure (MTBF), but when it comes to safety-critical markets, that equation takes on a whole new... » read more

Moore’s Law Debate Continues
By Ann Mutschler - 02 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 0

Does shrinking devices still make sense from a cost and performance perspective? The answer isn’t so simple anymore. Still, the discussion as to whether semiconductors are still on track with [getkc id="74" comment="Moore's Law"] occurs on a frequent enough basis to continue analyzing at least some of the dynamics at play. There is much speculation about what happens after 7nm, as well as ... » read more

Blog Review: Nov. 2
By Jesse Allen - 02 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 0

Mentor's Harry Foster digs into the trends in ASIC/IC languages and libraries, in the latest installment of the Wilson Research Group Functional Verification Study. High power and voltage requirements mean that the USB Type-C Port controller and Power Delivery blocks do not belong in the SoC, says Synopsys' Michael Posner. Cadence's Paul McLellan digs into hypervisors and how virtualizati... » read more

ARM Cortex-M For Beginners
