Agile Analog Partners with sureCore for Quantum Computing
Quantum computing is the next big thing for the computing world. The semiconductor industry has been talking about it for years. It’s shiny, mysterious, and capable of some incredible things. Instead of using classical bits to represent information (which can be either a 0 or a 1), quantum computers use quantum bits or qubits… Read More
Agile Analog Visit at #60DAC
Chris Morrison, Director of Product Marketing at Agile Analog met with me on the Tuesday at DAC this year, and I asked what has changed in the last year for their analog IP business. The short answer is that the company has initially built up foundation IP for Analog Mixed-Signal (AMS) uses, then recently added new IP for data conversion,… Read More
Counter-Measures for Voltage Side-Channel Attacks
Nearly every week I read in the popular press another story of a major company being hacked: Twitter, Slack, LastPass, GitHub, Uber, Medibank, Microsoft, American Airlines. What is less reported, yet still important are hardware-oriented hacking attempts at the board-level to target a specific chip, using voltage Side-Channel… Read More
