LiDAR Market Continues To Percolate
By Jeff Dorsch - 13 Sep, 2017 - Comments: 0

Light imaging, detection, and ranging (LiDAR) sensors are still dazzling investors and technologists. They are chasing after the technology for automotive applications, while also keeping an eye on LiDAR for drones, industrial automation, mapping, and robotics, among other uses. It’s too early to tell how market share for automotive LiDAR is shaping up, as the bigger vendors are still work... » read more

Systems Of Packages
By Ed Sperling - 11 Sep, 2017 - Comments: 0

The shift from IP blocks to subsystems, with pre-integrated and pre-verified IP, has never lived up to the initial hype. That doesn't mean the concept isn't valid, though. The problem with subsystems, as originally conceived, is they were far too limited for widespread adoption. When this idea first began surfacing in the early pat of the Millennium, this all made sense because the number o... » read more

Get Ready For In-Mold Electronics
By Jeff Dorsch - 11 Sep, 2017 - Comments: 1

Imagine inserting the electronics into a product without using a printed circuit board, a module, or even a system-in-package. That's the promise of in-mold electronics (IME), a technology that has been around for years, but which is just beginning to see wider adoption. The technology is related to conductive inks and transparent conductive films. The IME manufacturing process is said to pr... » read more

How To Make Autonomous Vehicles Reliable
By Ann Mutschler - 11 Sep, 2017 - Comments: 1

The number of unknowns in automotive chips, subsystems and entire vehicles is growing as higher levels of driver assistance are deployed, sparking new concerns and approaches about how to improve reliability of these systems. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) will need to detect objects, animals and people, and they will be used for parking assistance, night vision and collision avoi... » read more

A Chip For All Seasons
By Jeff Dorsch - 07 Sep, 2017 - Comments: 0

FPGAs are showing up in more designs and in more markets, and as they get included in more systems they are becoming much more complex. A decade ago, the key markets for [gettech id="31071" t_name="FPGAs"] were industrial, medical, automotive and aerospace. Those markets remain strong, but FPGAs also are playing a role in artificial intelligence, data centers, the [getkc id="76" kc_name="... » read more

The Limits Of IP Reuse
By Ed Sperling - 07 Sep, 2017 - Comments: 0

The basic business proposition for third-party IP is that it's cheaper, faster, and less problematic to buy rather than build. But things haven't exactly worked out according to plan, either for companies that license IP or those that develop it. For [getkc id="43" kc_name="IP"] licensees, just keeping track of an endless series of updates is becoming unwieldy. Complex designs often include ... » read more

Being A Player In The Automotive IC Market
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 06 Sep, 2017 - Comments: 0

The automotive IC market is loaded with opportunity and above-average growth rates. Arguably, the pursuit of this opportunity explains much of the astonishing M&A activity among the world's biggest semicos in recent years. The common denominator — whether for established auto IC vendors, big tech players edging into self-driving cars or automakers looking to design their own chips — is the ... » read more
