Security Provisioning Moves Out Of The Factory
By Bryon Moyer - 04 Mar, 2021 - Comments: 1

Security credentials traditionally have been provisioned during chip manufacturing, often as a final part of the testing process. That's starting to change. Logistics management can be improved by pushing that process out — even as far as the on-boarding process. And simpler on-boarding can hide most of the details from the user. “The IT approach to provisioning IoT devices has primar... » read more

Design Support For A Green IoT
By Dirk Mayer - 11 Feb, 2021 - Comments: 0

By Dirk Mayer and Roland Jancke The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly all around the world. New devices are continually being added, all collecting a variety of data and transmitting them (often wirelessly) to edge devices, which in turn relay the data to the cloud for further processing. It is estimated that in a few years IoT devices will be responsible for over 20% of global ene... » read more

Certification And Collaboration Key To Closing IoT Security-Perception Gap
By David Maidment - 11 Feb, 2021 - Comments: 0

When it comes to security today, there’s perception and then there’s cold, hard reality. Here’s the reality: Cybersecurity Ventures expects global cybercrime costs to grow by 15% per year over the next five years, reaching $10.5 trillion annually by 2025, which is triple the 2015 figure. To get a sense for how pervasive the problem is, Symantec set up a “honeypot” system that dete... » read more

5G as a wireless power grid
By Technical Paper Link - 31 Jan, 2021 - Comments: 0

Abstract "5G has been designed for blazing fast and low-latency communications. To do so, mm-wave frequencies were adopted and allowed unprecedently high radiated power densities by the FCC. Unknowingly, the architects of 5G have, thereby, created a wireless power grid capable of powering devices at ranges far exceeding the capabilities of any existing technologies. However, this potential c... » read more

The l... » read more

How 5G Is Influencing Silicon Design
By Synopsys - 21 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

5G is introducing a wide array of challenges in next-generation SoCs that go well beyond high bandwidth wireless. These include increasing system bandwidth, lowering SoC latency, and reducing power significantly for the connected internet of things. Using trusted standards-based IP and proven processing and analog IP at the most aggressive process technology nodes is needed to bring 5G to marke... » read more

Building Billions Of Batteryless Devices
By James Myers - 12 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

Later this month, Arm will celebrate its 30 year anniversary and the engineering milestones that have resulted in more than 180 billion Arm-based chips being shipped in everything from sensors to smartphones to the world’s fastest supercomputer. In each of these cases, much of Arm’s success has been in our dedication to delivering the highest performance per watt. But while Arm may ha... » read more

The Expanding Universe Of MIPI Applications
By Joseph Rodriguez - 12 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

It’s hard to imagine today, but there was a time when mobile phones had no cameras and displays were tiny monochrome LCDs capable of displaying a phone number and not much more. The iconic Nokia 3310 announced Sept. 1, 2000, had an 84 x 48 pixel monochrome display and went on to sell 126 million units worldwide. You may still have one in your junk drawer. By the time of the original iPhone... » read more
