Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By SE Staff - 25 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

Security Fraunhofer IIS received a grant to establish an R&D center for trustworthy integrated electronic systems for security and safety. Working with other Fraunhofer divisions, Fraunhofer IIS will use innovative methods in design and testing to help protect IP along the value chain of microelectronic components and systems. The center will focus on creating a secure design flow for inte... » read more

Unintended Coupling Issues Grow
By Brian Bailey - 24 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

The number of indirect and often unexpected ways in which one design element may be affected by another is growing, making it more difficult to ensure a chip — or multiple chips in a package — will perform reliably. Long gone are the days when the only way that one part of a circuit could influence another was by an intended wire connecting them. As geometries get smaller, frequencies go... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By SE Staff - 18 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

Automotive Renesas and AVL Software and Functions are collaborating to support developers of automotive ISO 26262-compliant electronic control units (ECUs). Renesas sells automotive R-Car SoCs, RH850 automotive control MCUs, PMICs, and software for levels ASIL B to ASIL D of ISO26262, but even with automotive ISO26262 parts, ECU system development process is never plug and play. Functional saf... » read more

Silicon-based Power Semis Face Challenges
By Mark LaPedus - 17 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

Suppliers of power semiconductors continue to develop and ship devices based on traditional silicon technology, but silicon is nearing its limits and faces increased competition from technologies like GaN and SiC. In response, the industry is finding ways to extend traditional silicon-based power devices. Chipmakers are eking out more performance and prolonging the technology, at least in th... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 11 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

Nvidia's proposed acquisition of Arm is officially off. The deal faced significant pushback from regulatory agencies in the UK, USA, and Europe, which feared it would reduce or limit competition in areas like data center. Nvidia indicated it would continue working with Arm, and it will retain a 20-year Arm license. (SoftBank will retain the $1.25 billion prepaid by Nvidia.) SoftBank said it wil... » read more

Why Data Center Power Will Never Come Down
By Bryon Moyer - 10 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 3

Data centers have become significant consumers of energy. In order to deal with the proliferation of data centers and the servers within them, there is a big push to reduce the energy consumption of all data center components. With all that effort, will data center power really come down? The answer is no, despite huge improvements in energy efficiency. “Keeping data center power consum... » read more

Realizing The Future Of Fast EV Charging Through CoolSiC Based Topology Design
By Infineon - 09 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

While consumers are keen to reduce their carbon footprint, the move to E-Mobility, especially private electric vehicles (EV), is hindered by the limited charging infrastructure, most notably in fast charging. This white paper reviews the charging landscape and examines implementation approaches for fast DC chargers. Specific focus is placed on chargers delivering 350 kW and more for fast electr... » read more

ML Focus Shifting Toward Software
By Bryon Moyer - 03 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 1

New machine-learning (ML) architectures continue to garner a huge amount of attention as the race continues to provide the most effective acceleration architectures for the cloud and the edge, but attention is starting to shift from the hardware to the software tools. The big question now is whether a software abstraction eventually will win out over hardware details in determining who the f... » read more

Power Grids Under Attack
By John Koon - 03 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

Cyberattacks are becoming as troublesome to the electrical power grid as natural disasters, and the problem is growing worse as these grids become more connected and smarter. Unlike in the past, when a power outage affected just the electricity supplied to homes and businesses, power grids are becoming core elements of smart cities, infrastructure, and safety-related services. Without power,... » read more

Innovative Top-Side Cooled Package Solution For High-Voltage Applications
By Infineon - 02 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

This application note shows the benefits of using top-side cooled (TSC) power devices in high-voltage (HV) applications. In addition, it should help designers of such applications to understand how the device can be used and how an efficient and easy-to-assemble approach can be chosen to integrate TSC devices into the system. This application note describes Infineon’s new heat-spreader dual s... » read more
