Linear pluggable optics target data center energy savings

Linear pluggable optics target data center energy savings
by Don Dingee on 09-19-2024 at 6:00 am

Conceptual diagram of a retimed OSFP versus a linear direct drive solution using an advanced SerDes IP solution and linear pluggable optics

Data center density continues growing, driving interconnect technology to meet new challenges. Two of the largest are signal integrity and power consumption. Optical interconnects can solve many signal integrity issues posed by copper cabling and offer support for higher frequencies and bandwidths. Still, through sheer… Read More

Memory Hierarchy and the Memory Wall

Computer programs mainly move data around. In the meantime, they do some computations on the data but the bulk of execution time and energy is spent moving data around. In computer jargon we say that applications tend to be memory bound: this means that memory is the main performance limiting … Read More


Bluetooth 6.0 Channel Sounding is Here

Bluetooth 6.0 Channel Sounding is Here
by Bernard Murphy on 09-11-2024 at 6:00 am

car keyless entry

I posted a blog on this topic a year ago. Now the Bluetooth Sig has (just) ratified the standard it is timely to provide a reminder on what this new capability can offer. Channel Sounding introduced in Bluetooth Core specification version 6.0 is a method to significantly increase the accuracy of Bluetooth-based distance measurements,… Read More

by Mike Gianfagna on 08-27-2024 at 6:00 am

Analog Bits Momentum and a Look to the Future

Analog Bits is aggressively moving to advanced nodes. On SemiWiki, Dan Nenni covered new IP in 3nm at DAC here. I covered the new Analog Bits 3nm IP presented at the TSMC Technology Symposium here. And now, there’s buzz about 2nm IP to be announced at the upcoming TSMC OIP event in September.  I was able to get a briefing from the master… Read More


Spatial audio concepts targeted for earbuds and soundbars

Spatial audio concepts targeted for earbuds and soundbars
by Don Dingee on 08-26-2024 at 10:00 am

Spatial audio concepts differ from traditional surround sound

Spatial audio technologies deliver more realistic sound by manipulating how the listener perceives sounds virtually sourced from different directions and distances in a 3D space. Where traditional surround sound technology uses various sound channels through many speakers positioned around a listener, spatial audio can… Read More
