WEBINAR: Understanding TSN and its use cases for Aviation, Aerospace and Defence

WEBINAR: Understanding TSN and its use cases for Aviation, Aerospace and Defence
by Daniel Nenni on 09-13-2023 at 10:00 am

Ethernet TSN Profiles

This webinar will introduce Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and unveil how TSN can provide value in aviation, aerospace and defence.

TSN is a new set of standard extensions based on the IEEE 802.1 and IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards. It is designed to provide deterministic guarantees on Quality of Service (QoS) metrics and reliability… Read More


Extending RISC-V for accelerating FIR and median filters

Extending RISC-V for accelerating FIR and median filters
by Don Dingee on 09-05-2023 at 10:00 am

Custom hardware blocks for FIR and median filters

RISC-V presents a unique opportunity for designers to extend the microarchitecture with custom instructions. One possible application is digital signal filtering using finite impulse response (FIR) or median filters, potential algorithms for carrier demodulation schemes in communications systems like 5G. Codasip application… Read More


Fitting GPT into Edge Devices, Why and How

Fitting GPT into Edge Devices, Why and How
by Bernard Murphy on 09-05-2023 at 6:00 am

It is tempting to think that everything GPT-related is just chasing the publicity bandwagon and that articles on the topic, especially with evidently impossible claims (as in this case), are simply clickbait. In fact, there are practical reasons for hosting at least a subset of these large language models (LLMs) on edge devices… Read More


Interface IP in 2022: 22% YoY growth still data-centric driven

Interface IP in 2022: 22% YoY growth still data-centric driven

IF 2018 2027no$

We have shown in the “Design IP Report” 2022 that the market share of the wired Interface IP category is a growing part of the total IP, and that this trend is confirmed year after year. The interface IP category has moved from 18% share in 2017 to 25% in 2022.

During the 2010-decade, smartphone was the strong driver for the IP industry,… Read More


The Incredible Journey of Analog Bits Through the Eyes of Mahesh Tirupattur

The Incredible Journey of Analog Bits Through the Eyes of Mahesh Tirupattur

If you’ve designed a chip with analog content (and who hasn’t), you know Analog Bits. Along the way, you likely met Mahesh. If you are a lover of fine wines, you probably know Mahesh quite well. More on that later. I got the opportunity to speak with him recently about what he’s been up to, both now and over the past few years. It’s a story… Read More


RISC-V 64 bit IP for High Performance

RISC-V 64 bit IP for High Performance
by Daniel Payne on 08-30-2023 at 10:00 am

Atrevido min

RISC-V as an Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) has grown quickly in commercial importance and relevance since its release to the open community in 2015, attracting many IP vendors that now provide a variety of RTL cores. Roger Espasa, CEO and Founder of Semidynamics, has presented at RISC-V events on how their IP is customized… Read More


Arm Inches Up the Infrastructure Value Chain

Arm Inches Up the Infrastructure Value Chain
by Bernard Murphy on 08-30-2023 at 6:00 am

Arm just revealed at HotChips their compute subsystems (CSS) direction led by CSS N2. The intent behind CSS is to provide pre-integrated, optimized and validated subsystems to accelerate time to market for infrastructure system builders. Think HPC servers, wireless infrastructure, big edge systems for industry, city, enterprise… Read More


Key MAC Considerations for the Road to 1.6T Ethernet Success

Key MAC Considerations for the Road to 1.6T Ethernet Success
by Kalar Rajendiran on 08-29-2023 at 6:00 am

The World of Ethernet is Gigantic and Growing

Ethernet’s continual adaptation to meet the demands of a data-rich, interconnected world can be credited to the two axes along which its evolution has been propelled. The first axis emphasizes Ethernet’s role in enabling precise and reliable control over interconnected systems. As industries embrace automation… 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
