Internet of Things Sensors that see in the dark, look deep into our faces and hear the impossible, were all part of ams’ CES lineup this week. ams announced that it has designed an advanced spectral ambient light sensor (ALS) for high-end mobile phone cameras. The ALS, called the AS7350, identifies the light source and makes an accurate white balance under low-light and other non-ideal condi... » read more

Low-Latency Image Acquisition And Processing With A Programmable Vision-System-On-Chip
By Fraunhofer IIS/EAS - 12 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

This work aims to demonstrate the benefits of using a Vision-System-on-Chip for image processing tasks with very high latency demands between image acquisition and processing. By leveraging a column-parallel, mixed-signal data path, which is entirely software-defined by three application-specific instruction- set processors (ASIPs), image data within multiple regions of interest can be analyzed... » read more

Chip Aging Becomes Design Problem
By Brian Bailey - 09 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 9

Chip aging is a growing problem at advanced nodes, but so far most design teams have not had to deal with it. That will change significantly as new reliability requirements roll out across markets such as automotive, which require a complete analysis of factors that affect aging. Understanding the underlying physics is critical, because it can lead to unexpected results and vulnerabilities. ... » read more

A High-Speed Asynchronous Multi-Input Pipeline For Compaction And Transfer of Parallel SIMD Data
By Fraunhofer IIS/EAS - 16 Jul, 2018 - Comments: 0

Image sensors with programmable, highly parallel signal processing, so called Vision-Systems-on-Chip, perform computationally intensive tasks directly on the sensor itself. Therefore it is possible to limit the amount of output data to relevant image features only. Reading out such features presents a major challenge, since the position and number of features often is not known. Conventional sy... » read more
