An Automotive Value Chain In Flux

By Kurt Shuler - 01 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

When companies view suppliers from inside their specialized niches, it is tempting to imagine the business world will continue as-is, with just minimal improvements each year. But in the automotive value chain, this no longer holds. The rapid pace of innovation around intelligent systems in cars is disrupting the business flow. Back in simpler times, semiconductor companies would work with Tier... » read more

Different Levels Of Interconnects

The interconnect hierarchy from metal 0 in a semiconductor all the way up to racks of servers. Kurt Shuler, vice president of marketing at Arteris IP, explains why each one is different, and how every level can contribute to latency and performance. » read more

Building Your Own NoC And The Hazards Of (Not) Changing

By Kurt Shuler - 04 Jun, 2020 - Comments: 0

There is a perennial challenge that all R&D organizations face – how much of what we develop is essential to our competitive advantage and how much can be acquired at lower cost and risk rather than built from scratch? It’s easy to believe in the heat of battle that everything we are doing must be crucial. But the world continues to change around us. What was optional yesterday may be e... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing

Security Ninety-one percent of commercial applications contain outdated or abandoned open-source components —a security threat, says Synopsys in its recently released report 2020 Open Source Security and Risk Analysis (OSSRA). In the fifth annual edition of the report, Synopsys’ research team in its Cybersecurity Research Center (CyRC) found that 99% of the 1,250 commercial codebases revie... » read more

Tracking Automotive’s Rapidly Shifting Ecosystem

By Ann Mutschler - 02 Apr, 2020 - Comments: 0

The automotive ecosystem is becoming much harder to navigate as automakers, Tier 1s and IP vendors redefine their relationships based upon shifting value caused by an rapidly expanding amount of increasingly interdependent and complex electronic content. Predictions of massive change started almost a decade ago with a number of pilot programs around autonomous vehicles. But those shifts real... » read more

By Susan Rambo - 31 Jan, 2020 - Comments: 0

AI/Edge Brewer Science is introducing its first material for permanent bond used in assembling ICs, image sensor devices, and MEMS for devices and packaging that “include low-temperature bonding, extreme chemical resistance, UV or thermal curable bonding process, and no material movement after cure,” according to a press release. The bond is part of the PermaSOL product family. “These hi... » read more

A Promising Future For Interconnect IP

By Rich Wawrzyniak - 17 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 0

Complexity of SoC designs continues to increase primarily due to increased demand for functionality and performance in all electronic devices. Studies that Semico Research has conducted on the SoC design landscape shows the number of discrete SIP blocks has continued to rise in response to increased market requirements from new applications and richer feature sets. Table 1: Comparison of 1st... » read more

Safety Islands In Safety-Critical Hardware

By Kurt Shuler - 07 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

Safety and security have certain aspects in common so it shouldn’t be surprising that some ideas evolving in one domain find echoes in the other. In hardware design, a significant trend has been to push security-critical functions into a hardware root-of-trust (HRoT) core, following a philosophy of putting all (or most) of those functions in one basket and watching that basket very carefully.... » read more
