Analog Evolves Into Mixed Signal
By Linh Hong - 06 Aug, 2015 - Comments: 0

Predictions about the Internet of Things suggest this may be the new “Killer App,” something the semiconductor industry has long been looking for. Reinforcing the forecasts are television commercials from companies such as Cisco and GE touting the IoT’s impact on everything from jet engines to robots, capturing everyone’s imagination. New categories of products such as smartwatches will... » read more

Memories Offer Measure Of Security For IoT Devices
By Linh Hong - 06 Jul, 2015 - Comments: 0

Consumers are going to extremes to keep their electronic devices secure. A first-person account in The New York Times offered a novel way to thwart thieves from breaking into a car with a remote keyless system and stealing it — the author kept her car keys in the freezer. As extreme as this seems, it may only get worse as we move into the era of the Internet of Things. A recent Hewlett-Pac... » read more

Is The IoT Safe To Use?
By Ernest Worthman - 11 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

By Ernest Worthman & Ed Sperling Data security has been a problem since well before the invention the computer, and it has been getting progressively more difficult to contain every year for the past eight decades. It was made much worse when computing was decentralized with the introduction of the IBM PC in 1981, made worse again when networking was introduced into corporations by Novell'... » read more

A Comparison Of Embedded Non-Volatile Memory Technologies And Their Applications
By Kilopass - 07 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

With complexity of SOCs growing and time to market cycles shortening, designers need to have an arsenal of tricks to deliver highly differentiated products to market quickly. The arsenal may include SystemC, EDA tools to achieve a faster timing closure, and IP from high speed I/Os to memories. The most pervasive memory IPs are SRAM and ROM. Less pervasive memory IPs include non-volatile memory ... » read more

The Week In Review: System-Level Design
By Ed Sperling - 22 Nov, 2013 - Comments: 0

Synopsys rolled out new non-volatile memory IP that cuts power by 90% and reduces area in half. The company said it accomplished this feat with a single-bit read capability, which can drop read operation down to 0.9 volts and peak current to less than 10 microamps during erase and programming. The target of the ultra-low power IP is RFID and near-field computing ICs. Mentor Graphics posted p... » read more
