Dan is joined by Jim Bridgewater, director of product marketing for NXP automotive edge product line.
Jim provides an overview of the various wireless interfaces in current automotive design. He also discusses a new product from NXP called OrangeBox, a device that combines many of these interfaces into one domain controller.… Read More
I’ve written on and off about sensors, ML inference of the output of those sensors and the application of both in modern cars. Neither ADAS nor autonomous/semi-autonomous driving would be possible without these. But until now I have never covered the transport between sensors and the compute that safely turns what they produce… Read More
Near the end of any large SoC design project, the RTL code is nearly finished, floorplanning has been done, place and route has a first-pass, static timing has started, but the timing and power goals aren’t met. So, iteration loops continue on blocks and full-chip for weeks or even months. It could take a design team 5-7 days… Read More
The resolution of EUV lithography is commonly expected to benefit from the shorter wavelengths (13.2-13.8 nm) but in actuality the printing process needs to include Pde the consideration of the lower energy electrons released by the absorption of EUV photons. The EUV photon energy itself has a nominal energy range of 90-94 eV,… Read More
While Truechip has established itself as a global provider of verification IP (VIP) solutions, they are always on the lookout for strategic IP needs from their customer base. Over the last several years, a solid market for Network-on-Chip (NoC) IP has grown, driven by the need to rapidly move data across a chip. Concurrently, the… Read More
This Diakopto paper discusses for the first time, a new effect – a false electrical mismatch in post-layout simulations for perfectly symmetric nets. This effect is caused by the difference in distributions of parasitic coupling capacitors over the nodes of parasitic resistor networks, even for symmetric nets. This, in turn,… Read More
The hand-wringing over Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter began in earnest, Friday, as General Motors announced it would suspend advertising on the platform. Ford Motor Company, too, said it would take a step back.
The news of Musk’s completion of his Twitter acquisition completely eclipsed Mobileye’s hugely successful… Read More
Dan is joined by Barry Paterson, CEO of Agile Analog. Barry has held senior leadership, engineering and product management roles at Wolfson Microelectronics and Dialog Semiconductor. He has been involved in the development of custom mixed-signal silicon solutions for many of the leading mobile and consumer electronics … Read More
As more AI applications turn to edge computing to reduce latencies, the need for more computational performance at the edge continues to increase. However, commodity compute engines don’t have enough compute power or are too power-hungry to meet the needs of edge systems. Thus, when designing AI accelerators for the edge, Joe… Read More
SemiWiki recently posted a blog on “Deep Data Analytics for Accelerating SoC Product Development.” That blog focused on proteanTecs’ AI-enabled chip analytics platform that helps accelerate SoC product development. The blog provided insight into proteanTecs’ approach and shared quantifiable business-impact metrics … Read More
