Powering eMobility Through Silicon-Carbide Substrates

Powering eMobility Through Silicon-Carbide Substrates
by Bernard Murphy on 10-25-2023 at 6:00 am

SOITEC SEPTEMBRE 2023

While writing on infotainment and ADAS I sometimes wonder about the devices that make an EV run. These have nothing to do with digital or software wizardry. While logic and software play a role, the real heart of EV power is in power electronics driving motors, regenerative braking and charger options at home and on the road. Technologies… Read More

By Philippe Flatresse, Bich-Yen Nguyen, Rainer Lutz of SOITEC

    I.          Introduction

Automotive radar is a key enabler for the development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles. The use of radar allows vehicles to sense their environment and make decisions based on that information, enhancing… Read More


Long-standing Roadblock to Viable L4/L5 Autonomous Driving and Generative AI Inference at the Edge

Long-standing Roadblock to Viable L4/L5 Autonomous Driving and Generative AI Inference at the Edge
by Lauro Rizzatti on 10-11-2023 at 6:00 am

Table I

Two recent software-based algorithmic technologies –– autonomous driving (ADAS/AD) and generative AI (GenAI) –– are keeping the semiconductor engineering community up at night.

While ADAS at Level 2 and Level 3 are on track, AD at Levels 4 and 5 are far from reality, causing a drop in venture capital enthusiasm and money. Today,… Read More

Soitec is Engineering the Future of the Semiconductor Industry

The crystalline structure of silicon delivers the incredible capabilities that have fueled the exponential increases defined by Moore’s Law. It turns out that silicon in its purest form will fall short at times – power handling and speed are examples. In these cases, adding additional materials to the silicon can enhance its … Read More

Margin Agent to Measure Performance and Degradation

The automotive industry is undergoing a major transformation. The convergence of electrification, connectivity, driver-assistance technologies, and software-defined vehicles has led to the rise of use of advanced System-on-Chips (SoCs) that drive unprecedented levels of functionality and performance. However, this… Read More


Bluetooth Based Positioning, More Accurate, More Reliable, Safer

Bluetooth Based Positioning, More Accurate, More Reliable, Safer
by Bernard Murphy on 08-22-2023 at 6:00 am

Using Bluetooth for positioning is a topic I have touched on before, for location services, keyless entry, and asset tracking among other applications. Earlier implementations depended on measures of received signal strength and angle-of-arrival / angle-of-departure, but these have limited accuracy in environments with… Read More


How Do You Future-Proof Security?

How Do You Future-Proof Security?
by Bernard Murphy on 08-17-2023 at 6:00 am

Secure IC applications min

If you are designing electronics to go into a satellite or a military drone, it better have a useful lifetime of 15-20 years or more. Ditto for the grid or other critical infrastructure, your car, medical devices, anything where we demand absolute reliability. Reliability also requires countermeasures against hacking by anyone… Read More
