The U.S. Commerce Department outlined proposed rules for the Chips for America Incentives Program, including additional details on national security measures applicable to the CHIPS Incentives Program included in the CHIPS and Science Act. The rules limit funding recipients from investing in the expansion of semiconductor manufacturing in foreign countries of concern, notably the People’s Rep... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By SE Staff - 31 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Synopsys rolled out an AI-driven design suite called Synopsys.ai at the Synopsys User Group conference this week, which it says reduces time to better results at multiple points in the design flow. The company noted the new technology uses reinforcement learning, which compensates for relatively small data sets by allowing engineers to interact with that data more easily at any point, and to ch... » read more

Options Widen For Optimizing IoT Designs
By John Koon - 29 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Creating a successful IoT design requires a deep understanding of the use cases, and a long list of tradeoffs among various components and technologies to provide the best solution at the right price point. Maximizing features and functions while minimizing costs is an ongoing balancing act, and the number of choices can be overwhelming. The menu includes SoC selection, OS and software proto... » read more

The two companies already had collaborated on designs for mobile point-of-sale terminals, wireless charging, and smart metering. Renesas also... » read more

The I3C Interface Can Help Improve Performance In Sensor Applications
By Graeme Clark - 23 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

The I3C interface (officially the “MIPI Alliance Improved Inter Integrated Circuit”) was initially developed by the MIPI Alliance to support sensor interconnect in mobile applications. The MIPI Alliance is a global alliance of electronics companies that develop technical specifications for mobile applications, of which Renesas Electronics is a member. The original concept behind the I3C ... » read more

Renesas / Cyberon Speech Recognition
By Renesas - 22 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Traditional voice or speech recognition technology is based on a trained model with specific words or phrases. Natural language processing is word-order independent. This requires large computing power to run the real time data through a neural network. The Cyberon approach is different, allowing the algorithms to run on a small, general purpose MCU.
