5th Generation CAPSENSE Technology


Capacitive touch sensing is a familiar and popular way to implement sleek, attractive and intuitive human-machine interfaces (HMIs) in devices such as smartphones, tablets and automotive displays. Now many manufacturers operating elsewhere, including in the industrial automation and home appliance markets, are exploring ways to increase the appeal, usability and value of their products by re... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing


Inflection AI raised $1.3 billion in a new funding round led by Microsoft, Reid Hoffman, Bill Gates, Eric Schmidt, and NVIDIA after raising $225 million in the first round to support the ongoing development of Pi, a “useful, friendly, and fun” AI. In partnership with CoreWeave and NVIDIA, Inflection aims to build the world’s largest AI cluster, comprised of 22,000 NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core ... » read more

Week In Review: Automotive, Security, Pervasive Computing


Stellantis and Foxconn formed a 50/50 joint venture called SiliconAuto, to be headquartered in the Netherlands. The goal is to close the gap between supply and demand for chips used in computer-controlled features and modules, especially for electric vehicles (EVs). The U.S. Department of Justice created a National Security Cyber Section within its National Security Division to increase the ... » read more

Developing A Customized RISC-V Core For MEMS Sensors


We recently described how Codasip Labs is working with the NimbleAI project to push the boundaries of neuromorphic vision. Let’s talk about another cool project. This project is focused on another sense, hearing. We will use our unique Codasip Studio design toolset to develop a customized RISC-V core for MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) sensors. Again, technology is inspired by bio... » read more

Preparing For 5G Millimeter Wave And 6G


Cellular technology is about to take a giant leap forward, but the packaging, assembly, and testing of the chips used in 5G millimeter wave and the forthcoming 6G ecosystem will be significantly more complicated than anything used in the past. So far, most 5G devices are still working at sub-6 GHz frequencies. A massive rollout of mmWave technology over the next few years will significantly ... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing


The European Parliament took a major step toward enacting the world’s first laws around the use of AI. Known as the AI Act, the draft law won a majority vote following two years of debate. If the proposed regulations pass the next hurdles, AI systems posing an unacceptable risk to human safety would be banned — along with “intrusive and discriminatory” uses of AI, including biometric su... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power


Intel released Tunnel Falls, its newest quantum research chip, to quantum computing researchers interested in using the 12-qubit silicon chip for their own experiments and research.  Intel is also providing the chips to research laboratories, with help from LQC (LPS Qubit Collaboratory) through the Army Research Office. The first labs to receive the chip are LPS, Sandia National Laboratories, ... » read more

Developing An Unbreakable Cybersecurity System


Cyberattacks are increasing in frequency and sophistication, and the impact of those attacks is increasing almost exponentially as the amount and value of data continues to grow. Cybersecurity Ventures projected the annual cost of cybercrime will grow from $8 trillion in 2023 to $210.5 trillion by 2025, with no end in sight. On the target list are a slew of industrial and commercial segments... » read more

Shaping Industry 4.0 By Empowering The Smart Factory


The goal of Industry 4.0 is to create autonomous production in which people, machines, systems, and products communicate with each other independently. The result are intelligent value chains and product life cycles that begin with development, continue through manufacturing, assembly, product delivery and maintenance, and finally end with recycling. In this way, not only production is contro... » read more

Blog Review: May 31


Cadence's Moshik Rubin looks at how the Portable Test and Stimulus Standard (PSS) is finding new use cases in ATE production test by enabling creation of a rich set of functional test scenarios in a reusable way. Synopsys' LJ Chen and Dana Neustadter check out the latest version of the Universal Flash Storage (UFS) standard, which doubles the data transfer rate of the preceding UFS 3.1 solut... » read more
