What Does An IoT Chip Look Like?
By Ed Sperling - 19 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 4

By Ed Sperling and Jeff Dorsch Internet of Things chip design sounds like a simple topic on the face of it. Look deeper, though, and it becomes clear there is no single IoT, and certainly no type of chip that will work across the ever-expanding number of applications and markets that collectively make up the IoT. Included under this umbrella term are sensors, various types of processors, ... » read more

Tracking Down Errors With Data

Michael Schuldenfrei, CTO at [getentity id="22929" comment="Optimal+"], sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to discuss how data will be used and secured in the future, the accuracy of that data, and what impact it can have on manufacturing. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. SE: Can data be shared across the supply chain? Schuldenfrei: We believe it has to happen. If it d... » read more

IoT’s Success Will Be About The ‘Information Profit Margin’
By Philip Sparks - 06 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

Almost 20 years ago, on a clear, chilly spring day in Massachusetts, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan spoke at the Boston College Finance Conference 2000. What he said would mark a pivotal moment in our thinking about the impact of technology: “When historians look back at the latter half of the 1990s a decade or two hence, I suspect that they will conclude we are now living through... » read more

Is Product Quality Getting Lost In The IIoT?
By David Park - 10 Apr, 2017 - Comments: 0

Manufacturing operations have continuously evolved using data capture and management to assess and test production effectiveness on the manufacturing floor. The advent of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and its anticipated ability to track and manage the factory environment with machine-to-machine process analytics heralds yet another transformation, promising a higher level of data in... » read more

Confidence In 7nm Designs Requires Multi-Variable, Multi-Scenario Analysis
By Sankar Ramachandran - 09 Feb, 2017 - Comments: 0

As designs move toward 7-nanometer (nm) process nodes, engineering and production cost dramatically increases and the stake in getting the design right the first time becomes significantly higher than ever before. You are faced with the question, “how confident are you in your design analysis coverage?” Tighter noise margin, increasing power density, faster switching current and greater ... » read more

Data Storage Issues Grow For Cars
By Ann Mutschler - 02 Feb, 2017 - Comments: 0

Adding safety features into cars and making them increasingly autonomous are rapidly creating a big data problem. More sensors produce more data, which has to be processed, moved, and ultimately stored somewhere in those vehicles. Exactly how that will be achieved isn't quite clear yet. However, there is plenty of discussion on that topic—and for good reason. A new 2017 car will genera... » read more

Things To Come This Year
By Jeff Dorsch - 05 Jan, 2017 - Comments: 0

What will happen in the Internet of Things during 2017? No one truly knows. Some 2016 trends can be teased out to provide prognostications for the 12 months ahead. Parks Associates released a white paper in December, “Top 10 Consumer IoT Trends in 2017,” which notes that U.S. broadband households have an average of more than eight connected computing, entertainment, and mobile devices, a... » read more

Embedded FPGAs Going Mainstream?
By Brian Bailey - 27 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

Systems on chip have been made with many processing variants ranging from general-purpose CPUs to DSPs, GPUs, and custom processors that are highly optimized for certain tasks. When none of these options provide the necessary performance or consumes too much power, custom hardware takes over. But there is one type of processing element that has rarely been used in a major SoC— the [gettech id... » read more

Betting On Power And Deep Learning
By Ed Sperling - 13 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

Jim Hogan, managing partner of Vista Ventures, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about what investments deliver the biggest returns, how quickly, and why there are so few investors in some big growth areas. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. SE: What are you investing in these days and why? Hogan: I have about 15 active deals right now. I generally invest in thi... » read more
