Four Factors Driving Processor Choices


By Ed Sperling Choosing processors for an SoC, a system-in-package, or even a complete system is becoming much more difficult, and the challenge is growing as demands on performance, power, area and time to market continue to increase. There are many reasons why this is becoming more difficult—and some designs will require more tradeoffs than others, depending upon IP re-use or a particul... » read more

Applications And Low Power


By Pallab Chatterjee As new process technologies are being developed to make devices smaller, they are also driving the operating power lower for the devices and systems. The goal is to reduce the power requirements for the system and hence increase the functional life on a single battery charge. This concept has worked in the semiconductor industry from 10-micron processes down to the 6... » read more
