Big Growth Areas: Connectivity, AI, Reliability
By Brian Bailey - 14 Jan, 2020 - Comments: 0

Connectivity and artificial intelligence (AI) will be the biggest drivers for 2020, with an emphasis on improved reliability across all areas. New standards, new applications, and new pressures being placed on old technology will created boundless opportunities for those ready to fill the need. Of course, there will also be a lot of carnage along the way, and we can expect to see a lot of that ... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 04 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

Arm debuted two new image signal processors, Mali-C52 and Mali-C32. Both are capable of processing for high dynamic range (HDR), noise reduction, and color management at 4k resolution at 60fps. They can process 600 megapixels/sec. The Mali-C52 can be configured either for image quality or area for a range of applications, while the C32 is optimized for area and lower-power, cost-sensitive appli... » read more

Memory Nantero licensed its technology for non-volatile RAM using carbon nanotubes (NRAM) to Fujitsu Semiconductor and Mie Fujitsu Semiconductor, which plan to conduct joint development towards releasing a product based on 55-nm process technology. Fujitsu Semiconductor plans to develop an NRAM-embedded custom LSI product by the end of 2018. IP Flex Logix completed design of a family o... » read more

Addressing Three Critical Challenges Of USB Type-C Implementation
By Synopsys - 09 Mar, 2016 - Comments: 0

As designers are create new products and system-on-chips (SoCs) with USB Type-C support, they need to be aware of datapath and hardware/software partitioning challenges. The SoC and system design must be partitioned to support the specification’s requirements for precision analog circuitry plus high voltage/high current switches, and Type-C management software must be partitioned to execute o... » read more
