Predictive Load

When people talk about bottlenecks in digital signal processors (DSPs), they usually focus on compute throughput: how many MACs per second, how wide the vector unit is, how fast the clock runs. But ask any embedded AI engineer working on always-on voice, radar, or low-power vision—and they’ll tell you the truth: memory stalls … Read More

Balancing the Demands of OTP for Advanced Nodes with Synopsys IP

One-time programmable (OTP) non-volatile memory has been around for a long time. Compared to other non-volatile memory technologies OTP has a smaller footprint and does not require additional manufacturing steps, making it a popular choice to store items such as boot code and encryption keys. While this sounds simple, the growth… Read More
