Ethernet In Cars
By Tim Lau - 02 Nov, 2017 - Comments: 0

The automobile is encountering possibly the biggest changes in its technological progression since the invention of the internal combustion engine nearly 150 years ago. Increasing levels of autonomy will reshape how we think about cars and car travel. It won’t be just a matter of getting from point A to point B while doing very little else — we will be able to keep on doing what we want whi... » read more

Faster Commoditization In Cars
By Ann Mutschler - 02 Nov, 2017 - Comments: 0

Sensors are at the heart of assisted and autonomous driving, but even before these devices hit the road the average selling prices of these components will have to fall far enough to be affordable to a mass audience. Achieving economies of scale is what has made the semiconductor industry successful over the past half century. It has enabled semiconductors to proliferate and for electronics ... » read more

Security For Embedded Electronics
By Jeff Dorsch - 02 Nov, 2017 - Comments: 0

The embedded systems market is expected to enjoy steady growth in the near future—provided those systems can be adequately secured. One of the biggest challenges for embedded devices and systems, especially those employed in the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"], is adequately protecting them from increasingly sophisticated hacking. This is a new tool for criminal enterprises, a... » read more

Blog Review: Nov. 1

Mentor's Joe Hupcey III explains the benefits of prioritizing faults with formal analysis before launching detailed fault verification. Cadence's Paul McLellan listens in as AMD's Mark Papermaster discusses what's needed to keep driving Moore's Law. Synopsys' Jesse Victors takes a look at ROCA, the latest flaw affecting RSA cryptography, and argues it may be time for a new encryption sche... » read more

Blog Review: Oct. 18

Mentor's Nitin Bhagwath suggests some ways to deal with undesirable signal integrity effects in DDR designs. Cadence's Ken Willis argues that for multi-gigabit serial link interfaces, signal integrity analysis should start upstream of the traditional post-layout verification step. Synopsys' Ravindra Aneja contends that understanding formal core data can reduce the overall effort and short... » read more

The Chiplet Option
By Ed Sperling - 09 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

All of the leading chipmakers, foundries and OSATs are now working with some sort of advanced packaging. The next step is to add some consistency to those efforts to be able to assemble chips much more quickly and inexpensively. DARPA has been promoting chiplets as the best way to solve this problem, and for the military, this is a pretty logical choice. With a push toward heterogeneity in c... » read more

Functional Safety Issues Rising
By Ed Sperling - 05 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

Developing semiconductors for safety-critical markets such as automotive, industrial and medical involves a growing list of extra steps that need to be taken pre- and post-manufacturing to ensure product integrity, reliability and security. This is causing several significant changes: • Designs are becoming much more complicated because they require such features as failover and redundan... » read more

The Importance Of Wi-Fi
By Prabhu Loganathan - 05 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

Wi-Fi has had a huge impact on the modern world, and it will continue to do so. From home wireless networks to offices and public spaces, the ubiquity of high speed connectivity without reliance on cables has radically changed the way computing happens. It would not be much of an exaggeration to say that because of ready access to Wi-Fi, we are consequently able to lead better lives – using o... » read more

Ethernet’s Next Life
By Gale Morrison - 05 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

An ever-growing engagement with the Internet — where most of humanity and the ‘things’ we use are almost constantly connected and constantly storing, processing and retrieving data over a network — is increasing pressure to develop new standards, and much more quickly. Witness the timeline of Ethernet, and its humble beginnings as a standard protocol for moving data at 2.5 megabits p... » read more
