Week in Review: IoT, Security, Auto
By Jeff Dorsch - 03 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

Deals Arm acquired Treasure Data, which offers a data management service. Financial terms weren’t revealed, although the transaction is reportedly worth $600 million. Joyce Kim, Arm’s chief marketing officer, told reporters that the purchase is “the largest cash deal we’ve done.” Along with the company’s introduction of Mbed Cloud (a device management service) last year and the acq... » read more

More Sigmas In Auto Chips
By Ann Mutschler - 02 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

The journey to autonomous cars is forcing fundamental changes in the way chips are designed, tested and tracked, from the overall system functionality to the IP that goes into those systems. This includes everything from new requirements for automotive-grade chips to longer mean time between failures. But it also makes it far more challenging, time-consuming and complicated to create these d... » read more

Smart Cities’ Head Start On The Mobility Future
By Andrew Macleod - 02 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

Even if autonomy is still mostly in the R&D, balky-science-project phase, vehicle connectivity is increasingly here today. And that’s good news since connected cars deliver a meaningful subset of the societal upside promised by their eventual fully autonomous future selves, especially when it comes to safety, traffic management and navigation. But beyond the dashboard, as the world become... » read more

How Vehicle Electrification Impacts Electrical System Design
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 01 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

Autonomy and electrification are demanding significant changes to electrical and electronic architectures within vehicles. This is due in part to the introduction of high voltages, increased safety considerations and significant weight reductions needed to maximize vehicle range from electrification, and ‘fail operational’ designs, hugely increased data network loading and virtual validatio... » read more

Blog Review: Aug. 1

Synopsys' Taylor Armerding explains the recent cyberattack on Singapore's largest healthcare group, SingHealth. The "well-planned" attack compromised the personal information of about a quarter of the country's population, including Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. Cadence's Paul McLellan looks at the factors that make China's automotive market much different from the rest of the world and th... » read more

Manufacturing Bits: July 31

Florida R&D fab A new microelectronics R&D initiative in Florida is expanding its operations and readying its new 200mm fab facility. The initiative, called BRIDG, describes itself as a non-profit, public-private partnership. BRIDG is basically an R&D microelectronics facility, which is focusing on the development of select technologies, such as photonics, sensors, imagers and 2.5D/3D pac... » read more

Why Parallelization Is So Hard

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to talk about parallelization efforts within EDA with Andrea Casotto, chief scientist for Altair; Adam Sherer, product management group director in the System & Verification Group of Cadence; Harry Foster, chief scientist for Mentor, a Siemens Business; Vladislav Palfy, global manager for applications engineering at OneSpin; Vigyan Singhal, chief Oski for ... » read more

Debug Issues Grow At New Nodes
By Ann Mutschler - 26 Jul, 2018 - Comments: 0

Debugging and testing chips is becoming more time-consuming, more complicated, and significantly more difficult at advanced nodes as well as in advanced packages. The main problem is that there are so many puzzle pieces, and so many different use cases and demands on those pieces, that it's difficult to keep track of all the changes and potential interactions. Some blocks are "on" sometimes,... » read more

When Bugs Escape
By Brian Bailey - 26 Jul, 2018 - Comments: 0

Bugs are a fact of life, and they always have been. But verification methodologies may not have evolved fast enough to keep up with the growing size and complexity of systems. The types of bugs are changing, too. Some people call these corner cases. Others call them outliers. Still another group refers to them as simulation-resistance superbugs. In markets such as automotive, the notion o... » read more

Synthesizing Computer Vision Designs To Hardware
By Mike Fingeroff - 26 Jul, 2018 - Comments: 0

Computer vision is one of the hottest markets in electronic design today. Digital processing of images and video with complex algorithms in order to interpret meaning has almost as many applications and markets as there are uses for the human eye. The biggest problem that designers face is that the computer vision system requirements and algorithms change quickly and often. Even the targ... » read more
