The latest ideas on time-sensitive networking for aerospace
Self-heating and trapping enhancements in GaN HEMT models
High-fidelity models incorporating real-world, cross-domain effects are essential for accurate RF system simulation. The surging popularity of gallium nitride (GaN) technology in 5G base stations, satellite communication, defense systems, and other applications raises the bar for transistor modeling. Keysight dives… Read More
WEBINAR: The Rise of the DPU
The server and enterprise network boundary has seen complexity explode in recent years. What used to be a simple TCP/IP offload task for network interface cards (NICs) is transforming into full-blown network acceleration using a data processing unit (DPU), able to make decisions based on traffic routes, message content, and… Read More
Ultra-low-power MIPI use case for streaming sensors
MIPI built its reputation on the efficient streaming of data from camera sensors in mobile devices. It combines high-speed transfers with balanced power consumption, helping extend battery life while providing the responsiveness users expect. However, high speed is not the only mode of operation for a MIPI interface – specifications… Read More
QuantumPro unifies superconducting qubit design workflow
To create quantum computing chips today, a typical designer must cobble various tools together, switching back and forth between them for different tasks. By contrast, EDA solutions such as Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS) unify a design workflow in a single interface with automated data exchange between features. In … Read More
Chiplet ecosystems enable multi-vendor designs
Chiplets dominate semiconductor industry conversations right now – and after the recent Chiplet Summit, we expect the intensity to go up a couple of notches. One company name often heard is Blue Cheetah, and we had the opportunity to sit down with them recently to discuss their views and their just-announced design win at Tenstorrent.… Read More
WEBINAR: FPGA-Accelerated AI Speech Recognition
The three-step conversational AI (CAI) process – automatic speech recognition (ASR), natural language processing, and text-to-synthesized speech response – is now deeply embedded in the user experience for smartphones, smart speakers, and other devices. More powerful large language models (LLMs) can answer more queries… Read More
NoCs give architects flexibility in system-in RISC-V design
RISC-V tends to generate excitement over the possibilities for the processor core, any custom instruction extensions, and its attached memory subsystem. Those are all necessary steps to obtaining system-level performance. But is that attention sufficient? Architects who have ventured into larger system-on-chip (SoC) … Read More
Automotive-grade MIPI PHY IP drives multi-sensor solutions
Sensors are critical to every new automotive design, whether created for a driver or self-driving. Frame rates and resolution for car, truck, and SUV imaging systems continue to rise. Getting data from each sensor to a location in the vehicle with sufficient processing power may be challenging, especially when AI inference algorithms… Read More
Pairing RISC-V cores with NoCs ties SoC protocols together
Designers have many paths for differentiating RISC-V solutions. One path launches into various RISC-V core customizations and extensions per the specification. Another focuses on selecting and assembling IP blocks in a complete system-on-chip (SoC) design around one or more RISC-V cores. A third is emerging: interconnecting… Read More
