Where 5G Works, And Where It Doesn’t
By Ed Sperling - 16 Jul, 2019 - Comments: 0

The rollout of 5G hype has begun. Companies are building 5G chipsets for mobile devices, and they are working on the infrastructure that will allow massive amounts of data to move freely between devices. There is little doubt that more bandwidth is required everywhere. Files are growing in size, particularly with streaming video and images and various flavors of AI and machine learning.

Low-Power Design Becomes Even More Complex
By Ann Mutschler - 16 Jul, 2019 - Comments: 0

Throughout the SoC design flow, there has been a tremendous amount of research done to ease the pain of managing a long list of power-related issues. And while headway has been made, the addition of new application areas such as AI/ML/DL, automotive and IoT has raised as many new problems as have been solved. The challenges are particularly acute at leading-edge nodes where devices are power... » read more

5G Driving New Automotive Applications
By Ron DiGiuseppe - 10 Jul, 2019 - Comments: 0

5G’s increased throughput, reliability, availability, and lower latency will enable new safety-sensitive applications which are holistically known as V2X or Vehicle-to-Everything. 5G Cellular V2X (C-V2X) provides a common wireless network to support convergence of multiple applications for urban, suburban, and highway driving conditions. 5G C-V2X will enable multiple new automotive applicatio... » read more

Paving The Way To Autonomous Driving
By Ed Sperling - 09 Jul, 2019 - Comments: 1

Over the past couple weeks, four major carmakers began pairing off to jointly develop autonomous vehicles. Numerous reports say Ford will sign a deal with Volkswagen, and BMW is working on Level 4 self-driving vehicles with Daimler, the parent of Mercedes Benz. While this speaks volumes about the enormous cost of developing artificial intelligence systems to drive vehicles, it also points th... » read more

Challenges Of Logic BiST In Automotive ICs
By Mohammed Abdelwahid - 09 Jul, 2019 - Comments: 1

The electronics in passenger cars continues to grow, and much of it is bound by the strict functional safety requirements formalized in the ISO 26262 standard. The ICs that drive the electronics systems in automobiles are also increasingly complex, designed to execute artificial intelligence algorithms that govern emerging self-driving capabilities. Designers are quickly adopting comprehensi... » read more

Big Shifts In Big Data
By Ed Sperling - 09 Jul, 2019 - Comments: 0

The big data market is in a state of upheaval as companies begin shifting their data strategies from "nothing" or "everything" in the cloud to a strategic mix, squeezing out middle-market players and changing what gets shared, how that data is used, and how best to secure it. This has broad implications for the whole semiconductor supply chain, because in many cases it paves the way for ... » read more

Manufacturing ADAS Cameras Calls For Analytics
By Peter Hodgins - 09 Jul, 2019 - Comments: 0

Automotive camera design and manufacturing is one of the most difficult undertakings in hardware. Not only do you need to deal with the usual difficulties of high performance mechanical and electrical designs, but now highly specialized and sensitive optics are added into the equation. Complicating factors is that you won’t know how good the product is until it’s been completely assembled, ... » read more

Security’s Very Strange Path To Success
By Ed Sperling - 02 Jul, 2019 - Comments: 0

Security at the chip level appears to be heading toward a more promising future. The reason is simple—more people are willing to pay for security than in the past. For the most part, security is like insurance. You don't know it's working until something goes wrong, and you don't necessarily even know right away if there has been a breach. Sometimes it takes years to show up, because it ca... » read more
