How Secure Are FPGAs?

By Karen Heyman - 04 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 1

The unique hybrid software/hardware nature of FPGAs makes them tempting targets for cyberattacks, while also enabling them to rebuff attacks and change the attack surface before significant damage can be done. But it's becoming increasingly challenging to address all the potential vulnerabilities. FPGAs are often included in larger systems, each with their own unique attack vectors as well a... » read more

Enabling Long-Lasting Security For Semiconductors

By Jayson Bethurem - 04 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

There’s no doubt we live in a world where technology is highly intertwined within our daily lives. It has become pervasive in our homes, our automobiles and, critically, at our work. With so many access points into our lives, we’ve not only become extremely vulnerable to data collection, but more devastatingly, hackers. Today, hackers have more time, resources, available training and motiva... » read more

Dramatic Changes Ahead For Chips And Systems

By Karen Heyman - 21 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Early this year, most people had never heard of generative AI. Now the entire world is racing to capitalize on it, and that's just the beginning. New markets, such as spatial computing, quantum computing, 6G, smart infrastructure, sustainability, and many more are accelerating the need to process more data faster, more efficiently, and with much more domain specificity. Compared to the days ... » read more

Security Becoming Core Part Of Chip Design — Finally

By Ann Mutschler - 07 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 1

Security is shifting both left and right in the design flow as chipmakers wrestle with how to build devices that are both secure by design and resilient enough to remain secure throughout their lifetimes. As increasingly complex devices are connected to the internet and to each other, IP vendors, chipmakers, and systems companies are racing to address existing and potential threats across a ... » read more

AI Races To The Edge

By Karen Heyman - 07 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

AI is becoming increasingly sophisticated and pervasive at the edge, pushing into new application areas and even taking on some of the algorithm training that has been done almost exclusively in large data centers using massive sets of data. There are several key changes behind this shift. The first involves new chip architectures that are focused on processing, moving, and storing data more... » read more

eFPGA Gives You FPGA Speed And Density At Much Less Cost And Power

By Geoff Tate - 07 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

FPGAs are everywhere in all types of systems for their flexibility and quick time to market. As your volumes grow and you consider an ASIC to cut cost and power, you can now incorporate an embedded FPGA to continue to give you flexibility for the parts of your chip that need to adapt for changing standards, improving algorithms and customer optimizations. If you are an SoC designer, you c... » read more

Cut Power + Cost 5 – 10x: Integrate FPGA In Your SoC

By Flex Logix - 06 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

FPGA chips are high cost devices with a high profit margin for the manufacturer: this goes away when you integrate. FPGA packages are large and expensive because of the large number of very high speed signals that require expensive signal integrity design and packaging layers. When you integrate this goes away. And you save the board area the FPGA package took; and eliminate expensive voltage r... » read more

DRAM Choices Are Suddenly Much More Complicated

By Ed Sperling - 13 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

Chipmakers are beginning to incorporate multiple types and flavors of DRAM in the same advanced package, setting the stage for increasingly distributed memory but significantly more complex designs. Despite years of predictions that DRAM would be replaced by other types of memory, it remains an essential component in nearly all computing. Rather than fading away, its footprint is increasing,... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review
