Thermal Challenges Multiply In Automotive, Embedded Devices

By Karen Heyman - 02 Jul, 2024 - Comments: 0

Embedding chips into stacked-die assemblies is creating thermal dissipation challenges that can reduce the reliability and lifespan of these devices, a growing problem as chipmakers begin cramming chiplets into advanced packages with thinner substrates between them. In the past, nearly all of these complex designs were used in tightly controlled environments, such as a large data center, whe... » read more

Finance San Francisco-based Aquabyte has raised $3.5 million in seed funding led by Costanoa Ventures and New Enterprise Associates. Princeton University and strategic investors in the U.S. and Norway also participated in the round. The startup is using computer vision and machine learning to optimize efficiency in fish farming. Aquabyte is first deploying its technology in Norway in cooperati... » read more

Internet Of Things Design Considerations For Embedded Connected Devices

By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 03 Sep, 2015 - Comments: 0

Embedded connectivity has been around since the early days of M2M. But what is new are the many complexities and emerging standards embedded system developers need to know if they are to design the latest IoT device. This paper delves into many of the key considerations developers need to know and discusses the critical areas of IoT security and connectivity along with the importance of a prove... » read more

Embedded Power Management Challenges Grow

By Ed Sperling - 17 Jan, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler Power management always has been, and will continue to be, a big issue with electronic devices. But when it comes to power management in embedded systems—controlling battery power in a smartphone, an industrial automation or automotive application, among a myriad of other options—the approaches come with different variables. For example, deeply embedded s... » read more
