Defending Smart Homes Against AI Cyber Attacks


In recent months, the cybersecurity capabilities of Large Language Models have become increasingly powerful. Recent research shows that today’s frontier models (Claude Mythos and OpenAI GPT 5.5) with proper tooling have cybersecurity capabilities similar to trained cybersecurity practitioners and are doubling their ability every four months. Access to these frontier models has been restricted... » read more

Centralized Architecture for Automotive ADAS/AD Radar Based on Raw-ADC-Data


This white paper examines the automotive industry's transition from edge-based radar to centralized processing architectures using raw ADC satellite sensors to enable advanced "Deep" or "Early" sensor fusion by overcoming the compute and memory bottlenecks. It explores the benefits of the centralized architecture and introduces Infineon’s CTRX8191F and CTRX8188F devices for best-in-class RF p... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review


ECTC Panel-level packaging, hybrid bonding, new substrates, and fine-pitch interconnects topped the list of advanced packaging technologies at ECTC this week. Among the announcements: ASE launched an automated 310mm × 310mm panel-level packaging production line. Expected to enter production in the first half of 2027, the line is compatible with FOCoS and FOCoS-Bridge pa... » read more

Chip Industry Week in Review


Global The U.S. created a licensing path for Nvidia H200 shipments in January and has since approved sales to 10 Chinese companies, but so far no shipments have been confirmed, reports Reuters. With a looming end-of-year expiration, SIA, SEMI, and other business groups are urging Congress to extend the US semiconductor tax credit and expand it to cover semiconductor design and other act... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review


Manufacturing ASE and WUS are jointly building a ~$1.1B advanced packaging hub in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, for fan-out chip-on-substrate (FOCoS) and flip-chip ball grid array (FC BGA) technologies. The new site is expected to be completed by September 2029. SpaceX filed documents for a “Terafab” semiconductor manufacturing and computing facility at Gibbons Creek Reservoir in Texas, with a... » read more

What Is Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) In Data Centers?


In 2024, data centers consumed around 415 terawatt hours (TWh), or about 1.5% of global electricity, says the International Energy Agency. As the backbone of the digital economy, data centers are estimated to consume 2-3% of the world’s electricity by 2030. To manage this consumption, industry leaders have relied on a single metric: Power usage effectiveness (PUE). What is power usage ... » read more

Humanoid Touch And Voice Are Improving Rapidly


Key Takeaways Humanoid robots are rapidly expanding beyond factories and logistics toward broader, general-purpose roles (including in-home assistance), driven by advances in AI and sensing. Compared with vision and language, touch (haptics) and hearing/voice in real environments remain the hardest — and most commercially important — sensing challenges, requiring fast sensor fusio... » read more

Next-Gen Batteries Require Impedance Data And Active Balancing


Key Takeaways Electric vehicles and energy storage systems using LFP batteries require more sophisticated diagnostic methods because they exhibit very flat cell voltages across various charge levels, making it harder to estimate usable energy. Battery management systems are leveraging new components, AI/ML, digital twins, and other techniques to get more accurate, real-time data, includ... » read more

Power And Sensing – Selection Guide 2026


The semiconductor industry is undergoing a transformation. This transformation is driven by the critical role semiconductors play in decarbonization and digitalization and their ability to enable innovation across fields at an unprecedented scale. Recent advancements in AI, autonomous driving, humanoid robots, and our increasingly connected lifestyles are just a few examples of the rapid change... » read more

Using AI To Monitor Dashboards In Chips And Systems


Key Takeaways: New types of dashboards are being used in conjunction with AI to make sense of large quantities of data. These dashboards can be used to quickly identify and fix power and heat-related problems, such as hotspots or voltage droop. Future dashboards will likely be much more customizable for different users or applications. Chipmakers are starting to use AI to ma... » read more
