How Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) Technology Protects Embedded Systems
By Maxim Integrated - 05 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Security experts have been excited about the promise of physically unclonable function (PUF) technology for many years. It wasn't until recently, however, that reliable, cost-effective ICs with integrated PUF technology became available on the market. What's driving all of the excitement over PUF? In this white paper, I'll demystify PUF and highlight how it benefits a variety of embedded system... » read more

Pivoting Toward Safety-Critical Verification In Cars
By Ann Mutschler - 31 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 1

The inclusion of AI chips in automotive and increasingly in avionics has put a spotlight on advanced-node designs that can meet all of the ASIL-D requirements for temperature and stress. How should designers approach this task, particularly when these devices need to last longer than the applications? Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss these issues with Kurt Shuler, vice president of... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Susan Rambo - 24 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

GPU maker Nvidia may be interested in a purchasing Arm, Bloomberg reports, if current owner Softbank, the Japanese investment group run by billionaire Masayoshi Son, is even selling the company. Softbank may have approached Apple to gauge interest, but Apple reportedly said no. The British-based Arm’s instruction set architecture IP dominates the mobile market, especially with Apple is switch... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 17 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

Siemens will acquire Avatar Integrated Systems. The company's place-and-route tools, which will become part of Mentor's Xcelerator portfolio, include a netlist-to-GDS full-function block-level physical implementation tool and a complete top-level prototyping, floor-planning and chip assembly tool. Based in Santa Clara, CA, Avatar was formed in 2017 from the acquired assets of ATopTech. ATopTech... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Susan Rambo - 10 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

IoT Arm is proposing to transfer its two IoT divisions to SoftBank Group Corp., which will own and operate them under new entities. The two IoT Services Group (ISG) businesses are IoT Platform and Treasure Data. Arm intends to focus more on its IP roadmap in data and compute, once the transfer becomes finalized. It is subject to more board review. “Arm believes there are great opportunities ... » read more

Understand MOSFET Switch Behavior Via An LED Driver Simulation
By John Christopher Rice - 01 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

Automotive incandescent bulbs have largely given way to more efficient, reliable, stylish, and even safer light emitting diodes (LEDs). LEDs turn on in a fraction of the time and are especially useful in brake lamps, where fractions of a second matter. The challenge in designing an automotive LED lamp is in satisfying government requirements for light output while also being cost effective. Ano... » read more

Winners And Losers At The Edge
By Ed Sperling - 01 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

The edge is a vast collection of niches tied to narrow vertical markets, and it is likely to stay that way for years to come. This is both good and bad for semiconductor companies, depending upon where they sit in the ecosystem and their ability to adapt to a constantly shifting landscape. Some segments will see continued or new growth, including EDA, manufacturing equipment, IP, security an... » read more
