Adventures In Assembly
By Ann Mutschler - 11 Feb, 2016 - Comments: 0

With so few [getkc id="81" kc_name="SoC"] designs — if any — today designed completely new from the ground up, the assembly task is an extremely important one to get right. [getkc id="43" kc_name="IP"] components must be put together optimally and efficiently to perfectly match the application requirements, which is complex and intricately nuanced. How companies approach IP varies signif... » read more

Thermal Damage To Chips Widens
By Ed Sperling - 11 Feb, 2016 - Comments: 1

Heat is becoming a much bigger problem for semiconductor and system design, fueled by higher density and the increasing use of complex chips in markets such as automotive, where reliability is measured in decade-long increments. In the past, heat typically was handled by mechanical engineers, who figured out where to put heat sinks, fans, or holes to funnel heat out of a chassis. But as more... » read more

Powerful New Standard
By Brian Bailey - 11 Feb, 2016 - Comments: 0

In December the IEEE released the latest version of the 1801 specification, entitled the IEEE standard for design and verification of low-power integrated circuits. Most people know it as UPF, or the Unified Power Format. That was the name the first version of it held while being developed within Accellera. The standard provides a way to specify the power intent associated with a design, enabli... » read more

Designing SoCs For Hybrids
By Ann Mutschler - 04 Feb, 2016 - Comments: 0

Hybrid vehicle sales are growing, driven by a global concern for lower vehicle emissions and consumer demand for better economy. This has set off a rush by semiconductor companies to provide key components for those vehicles because they are much more reliant on electronics than regular gasoline-powered vehicles. But the changeover is not as straightforward as it might sound. Hybrid vehicles... » read more

Network Challenges Ahead
By Ernest Worthman - 04 Feb, 2016 - Comments: 0

The Internet of Everything will require a new breed of networks to handle data from billions of devices quickly and securely, but how exactly that will happen isn't completely clear. The terms "high performance" and "high security" are generally incompatible in the networking world because the security technology in use today bogs down network performance. To have a high level of security re... » read more
