Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing


Pervasive computing Broadcom announced delivery of its Jericho3-AI fabric for artificial intelligence (AI) networks, which delivers 26 petabits per second of Ethernet bandwidth. That is roughly four times the bandwidth of the previous generation, at a 40% power savings per gigabit. AMD released the Ryzen Embedded 5000 Series processors for customers requiring power-efficient processors opt... » read more

Growing Challenges For Increasingly Connected Vehicles


Automobiles will become increasingly connected over the next decade, but that connectivity will come at a price in terms of dollars, security, and constantly changing technology. Connectivity involves all parts of a vehicle. It includes everything from autonomous driving to in-cabin monitoring and connected infotainment. And it encompasses external sensors, IoT, V2X, over-the-air communicati... » read more

XENSIV PAS CO2


This white paper demonstrates how Infineon’s new CO2 sensor XENSIVTM PAS CO2, based on photo-acoustic spectroscopy (PAS) technology, is compatible with the sensor requirement defined by the WELL Building Standard and the LEED rating system. The evidence presented is based on conceptual and experimental data. The document also provides a detailed analysis of the contribution of the sen... » read more

Chip Industry’s Technical Paper Roundup: Apr. 4


New technical papers recently added to Semiconductor Engineering’s library: [table id=90 /] If you have research papers you are trying to promote, we will review them to see if they are a good fit for our global audience. At a minimum, papers need to be well researched and documented, relevant to the semiconductor ecosystem, and free of marketing bias. There is no cost involved for us p... » read more

Neuromorphic Computing: Self-Adapting HW With ReRAMs


A new technical paper titled "A self-adaptive hardware with resistive switching synapses for experience-based neurocomputing" was published by researchers at Infineon Technologies, Politecnico di Milano and IUNET, Weebit Nano, and CEA Leti. Abstract "Neurobiological systems continually interact with the surrounding environment to refine their behaviour toward the best possible reward. Achie... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power


The UK government published its National Quantum Strategy, which outlines the plan to invest £2.5 billion (~$3.0 billion) over the next 10 years into quantum technology, including computing, sensing, timing, imaging, and networking. "We will develop UK strengths across different hardware platforms, software, and components, and reinforce our capabilities throughout the supply chains. Although ... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power


Arm is expected to list solely on a U.S. stock exchange when it goes public again later this year, forgoing the London Stock Exchange for now, the BBC reports. Global investment banks expect the offering to value the company between $30 billion and $70 billion, according to Bloomberg. Disaggregating chips into specialized processors, memories, and architectures is becoming necessary for cont... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power


Apple plans to spend an additional €1 billion (~$1.1B) over the next six years to expand its Munich, Germany-based Silicon Design Centre, including the construction of a new research facility. "The expansion of our European Silicon Design Centre will enable an even closer collaboration between our more than 2,000 engineers in Bavaria working on breakthrough innovations, including custom sil... » read more

Auto Cyberattacks Becoming More Widespread


As vehicles become smarter, more complex, and increasingly connected, they also become more prone to cyberattacks. The challenge now is to keep pace with hackers, who are continually devising new and innovative ways to attack both software and hardware in vehicles. Recent statistics bear this out. In 2022, there was a big spike in deep/dark web activity and incidents related to application p... » read more

High SNR Microphones Are Transforming Laptops Into All-Round Communication Hubs


Large portions of the workforce continue to work from home or in hybrid models. Although some organizations are largely getting back to ‘normal’, many people have grown accustomed to meeting online. Without face-to-face meetings in the office, productive and efficient communication relies on good tools, from video conferencing software to computer hardware. Two decades ag... » read more
