Trimming Waste In Chips
By Brian Bailey - 12 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

Extra circuitry costs money, reduces performance and increases power consumption. But how much can really be trimmed? When people are asked that question they either get defensive or they see it as an opportunity to show the advantages of their architecture, design process or IP. The same holds true for IP suppliers. Others point out that the whole concept of waste is somewhat strange, becau... » read more

Functional Safety Issues Rising
By Ed Sperling - 05 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

Developing semiconductors for safety-critical markets such as automotive, industrial and medical involves a growing list of extra steps that need to be taken pre- and post-manufacturing to ensure product integrity, reliability and security. This is causing several significant changes: • Designs are becoming much more complicated because they require such features as failover and redundan... » read more

Starting Point Is Changing For Designs
By Ed Sperling - 04 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

The starting point for semiconductor designs is shifting. What used to be a fairly straightforward exercise of choosing a processor based on power or performance, followed by how much on-chip versus off-chip memory is required, has become much more complicated. This is partly due to an emphasis on application-specific hardware and software solutions for markets that either never existed befo... » 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

SOS Collaboration Platform: Powering The Next Discoveries In Physics
By Ranjit Adhikary - 03 Aug, 2017 - Comments: 0

The world is on the cusp of some of the greatest scientific breakthroughs in human history. The experiments physicists are carrying out today will shed new light on how our universe works. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a $10 billion project, unleashed a new perspective of how our universe works by letting us take a look at how tiny particles interact. You can forgive the physicists workin... » read more

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

IoT Startups Rake In Cash
By Jeff Dorsch - 06 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

Corporate and venture investors are still eagerly backing Internet of Things startups, with more than $850 million committed during the first six months of 2017. This year’s total may not reach the heights of 2014, when investors put more than $5 billion into IoT startups, or 2016, which saw IoT firms receiving about $4.75 billion, the Venture Scanner website estimates. Still, a once white... » read more

Data Management For Mixed-Signal Designs
By Cliosoft - 06 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

Software teams have long used version control and data management systems and they have become an integral part of a so ware development environment. Practically, no significant software project is started without a software data management system and methodology in place. There are a variety of solutions, typically referred to as Software Configuration Management (SCM) systems, to choose from ... » read more
