RISC-V Pushes Into The Mainstream
By Ed Sperling - 21 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 1

RISC-V cores are beginning to show up in heterogeneous SoCs and packages, shifting from one-off standalone designs toward mainstream applications where they are used for everything from accelerators and extra processing cores to security applications. These changes are subtle but significant. They point to a growing acceptance that chips or chiplets based on an open-source instruction set ar... » read more

Enable Application Design Without Considering Device Configuration
By Satoshi Kubota - 21 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

The software-defined vehicle, which defines in-vehicle value through software, requires new applications to be deployed in a variety of vehicle models. To achieve this, developers need a solution that allows them to easily develop applications without considering device configuration in the ECU and to take maximum performance of the hardware. However, there are currently issues (figure 1). W... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Marie C. Baca - 02 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

Tools and IP Renesas released a family of configurable clock generators with an internal crystal oscillator for PCIe and networking applications in high-end computing, wired infrastructure and data center equipment. “Timing needs can vary greatly between different applications and equipment, and often change during a product design cycle,” said Zaher Baidas, Vice President of the Timing Pr... » read more

Indoor Gas Sensors Proliferate With Better Standards
By SE Staff - 01 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

The gas sensor market is rapidly expanding, driven by increased concerns about indoor air quality and better technology for detecting and measuring it. Indoor air quality sensing targets gases and concentrations that differ — with some overlap — from outside. But until the pandemic, which largely coincided with a flood of new research about what is toxic to people and animals, this has b... » read more

Cadence's Sangeeta Soni explores how the configuration space for CXL 1.1 and CXL 2.0 varies and discusses newly introduced registers for the CXL-compliant devices and how they are discovered during the CXL enumeration flow. Siemens EDA's Harry Foster continues examining trends in FPGA verification effort by looking at where both design and verification engineers spend their time. Synopsys... » read more

Overview Of TVOC And Indoor Air Quality
By Renesas - 23 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 0

The aim of this white paper is to cover the basics of total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) and indoor air quality (IAQ). Volatile organic compounds are the main source for poor indoor air quality, which can affect a person’s daily life. Recommendations from various institutions and agencies regarding TVOC levels that are deemed hazardous to human health are given in the “Hazardous Condit... » read more
