Get Ready For Integrated Silicon Photonics
By Brian Bailey - 12 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 1

Long-haul communications and data centers are huge buyers of photonics components, and that is leading to rapid advances in the technology and opening new markets and opportunities. The industry has to adapt to meet the demands being placed on it and solve the bottlenecks in the design, development and fabrication of integrated silicon photonics. "Look at the networking bandwidth used across... » read more

Ultra-Low Power Memory IPs Using Mentor coolSRAM-6T Technology
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 11 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

The use of embedded static random access memory (eSRAM) in complex ICs has significantly increased in the past three decades. This trend will continue with the growth of ICs designed for rapidly expanding markets such as automotive, virtual reality (VR) / augmented reality (AR), implantable medical devices, gaming, sensor hub, medical devices, wearable computing, data center, and artificial int... » read more

Built-In Security For Auto Chips
By Jeff Dorsch - 11 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

The road to autonomous vehicles depends upon components that are secured against hacking and other outside interference. The cybersecurity precautions necessary for self-driving cars must be embedded in chips and systems from the beginning of the supply chain. Automotive manufacturers and their Tier 1 suppliers are counting on their electronics vendors to provide products that can withst... » read more

Blog Review: Apr. 11
By Jesse Allen - 11 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

Mentor's Dennis Brophy looks at how the black box nature of IP means it's hard to tell if a block is free from security risks, even if verification IP and open-source design code can help. Synopsys' Sri Deepti Pisipati explains Panel Self Refresh, a power saving mechanism in Display Port that allows for turning off the video processor and its circuitry when an image is static. Cadence's P... » read more

The Race To Mass Customization
By Ed Sperling - 09 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

The number of advanced packaging options continues to rise. The choices now include different materials for interposers, at least a half-dozen fan-outs, not to mention hybrid fan-out/3D stacking, system-in-package, flip-chip and die-to-die bridges. There are several reasons for all of this activity. First, advanced packaging offers big improvements in performance and power that cannot be ac... » read more

Embedded Die Packaging Emerges

Embedded die packaging is seeing renewed demand amid the push towards chips and systems that require smaller form factors. ASE, AT&S, GE, Shinko, Taiyo Yuden, TDK, Würth Elektronik and others compete in the merchant embedded die packaging market, according to Yole Développement. In fact, ASE and TDK have a joint venture in the arena, which is beginning to ramp up production. Additional... » read more

Functional Safety In AI-Controlled Vehicles
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 09 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

Whereas ISO 26262 specifies requirements for eliminating safety hazards in the presence of an E/E system fault, this paper explains why new standards for the AI era must address so-called safety of the intended functionality (SOTIF), which means helping to validate that advanced automotive functionalities are engineered into the vehicle to avoid safety hazards even in the absence of a fault. ... » read more

The Week In Review: Design
By Jesse Allen - 06 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

Tools Mentor, a Siemens business, filled in the last of the hardware configurations for its Veloce Strato emulation family, creating a full upgrade path. Users can initially purchase only the hardware that they need (StratoTiL) and if later they require more capacity (StratoTi) or the ability to handle larger designs (StratoT), they can incrementally add the necessary hardware to their existin... » read more

New Shifts In Automotive Design
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 1

Four big shifts in automotive design and usage are beginning to converge—electrification, increasing connectivity, autonomous driving and car sharing—creating a ripple effect across the automotive electronics supply chain. Over the past few years the electronic content of cars and other vehicles has surged, with electrical systems replacing traditional mechanical and electro-mechanical s... » read more
