Data Leakage Becoming Bigger Issue For Chipmakers
By Ed Sperling - 04 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

Data leakage is becoming more difficult to stop or even trace as chips become increasingly complex and heterogeneous, and as more data is stored and utilized by chipmakers for other designs. Unlike a cyberattack, which typically is done for a specific purpose, such as collecting private data or holding a system ransom, data leaks can spring up anywhere. And as the value of data increases, th... » read more

Securely Store Your Credentials And Cryptographic Keys In TPM 2.0
By Sneha Prahalad - 04 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) can securely store cryptographic keys that are specific to the host system and provide restricted access to the stored keys and secrets. You can never read out private keys, or in other words retrieve them as is from the TPM. Let’s say you need to generate a signature: you can indicate the private key you wish to use from the TPM to sign the message. You can... » read more

Driving Performance In GaN-Based USB-C Adapters And Chargers With EPR
By Infineon - 03 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

With the announcement of the USB PD 3.1 standard [1], higher power levels of up to 240 W are enabled. Still, the wide output voltage range from 5 V to 48 V raises new challenges for the converter topologies currently in use. In this white paper, the combination of an AC-DC PFC boost and a DC-DC hybrid flyback (HFB) stage [2], also well known as asymmetrical half-bridge flyback topology, is prop... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 28 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) outlined its plan for a National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC) to be created using a share of the $11 billion in funds from the CHIPS Act marked for research and development. While a large portion of the CHIPS Act investment is set to boost U.S. fabs and manufacturing capabilities, the NSTC aims to also support the design side, ... » read more
