Near-Threshold Computing Gets A Boost
By Brian Bailey - 25 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

Near-threshold computing has long been used for power-sensitive devices, but some surprising, unrelated advances are making it much easier to deploy. While near-threshold logic has been an essential technique for applications with the lowest power consumption, it always has been difficult to use. That is changing, and while it is unlikely to become a mainstream technique, it is certainly bec... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Susan Rambo - 22 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

Security Flex Logix Technologies is partnering with Intrinsic ID to secure and protect any device using its eFPGA, so the device can’t be modified maliciously, through physical attacks or remote hacking. Flex Logix’s EFLX ePFGA will have Intrinsic ID’s SRAM physical unclonable function (PUF), a military-grade security IP that gives a device a unique silicon ID. The ID secures confidentia... » read more

Telecare Challenges: Secure, Reliable, Lower Power
By John Koon - 20 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

The adoption of telecare using a variety of connected digital devices is opening the door to much more rapid response to medical emergencies, as well as more consistent monitoring, but it also is adding new challenges involving connectivity, security, and power consumption. Telecare has been on the horizon for the better part of two decades, but it really began ramping with improvements in s... » read more

Synopsys' Ron Lowman examines the various neural networks used in camera applications, the balancing act between camera lens choice and neural networks implemented, and how IP and embedded vision processors help optimize the designs. Siemens' Katie Tormala considers the importance of acoustic performance in consumer electronics and why it's important to understand the relationships between t... » read more

Heterogenous Integration Creating New IP Opportunities
By Brian Bailey - 19 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

The design IP market has long been known for constant change and evolution, but the industry trend toward heterogenous integration and chiplets is creating some new challenges and opportunities. Companies wanting to stake out a claim in this area have to be nimble, because there will be many potential standards introduced, and they are likely to change quickly as the industry explores what is r... » read more

PCIe 6.0, NVMe, And Emerging Form Factors For Storage Applications
By Gary Ruggles - 19 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

PCIe 6.0 implementations are expandable and hierarchical with embedded switches or switch chips, allowing one root port to interface with multiple endpoints (such as storage devices, Ethernet cards, and display drivers). While the introduction of PCIe 6.0 at 64GT/s helped to increase the bandwidth available for storage applications with minimal or no increase in latency, the lack of coherency s... » read more

Using AI To Speed Up Edge Computing
By John Koon - 19 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

AI is being designed into a growing number of chips and systems at the edge, where it is being used to speed up the processing of massive amounts of data, and to reduce power by partitioning and prioritization. That, in turn, allows systems to act upon that data more rapidly. Processing data at the edge rather than in the cloud provides a number of well-documented benefits. Because the physi... » read more

Week in Review: Manufacturing, Test
By Karen Heyman - 15 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

Fab capacity STMicroelectronics and GlobalFoundries inked a deal to build a new jointly-operated 300mm fab adjacent to ST’s existing 300mm facility in Crolles, France. This facility is targeted to ramp at full capacity by 2026, with up to 620,000 300mm wafer per year production at full build-out (~42% ST and ~58% GF). The new facility will support several technologies, with a special focus... » read more
