Software defined vehicles (SDVs) are transforming the automotive industry. Today’s vehicles are connected computing platforms that rely on advanced processors, artificial intelligence (AI), over the air (OTA) software updates, cloud services, and vehicle to everything (V2X) communications. Every electronic … Read More
As architects push toward advanced nodes and increasingly demanding workloads, modern silicon design has entered an era of unprecedented complexity. A single design respin can cost millions of dollars and delay market entry. Against this backdrop, designs must be balanced for performance, bandwidth, power efficiency, security… Read More

As vehicles become software-defined and electrification accelerates, validation now spans battery systems, power electronics, EV charging, connectivity, software, and grid interaction.
Keysight Automotive & Energy Tech Day 2026 showcases the breadth of solutions supporting validation across the
At the recent RISC-V Now event hosted by Andes, the discussion underscored the fact that RISC-V is no longer just about instruction set architecture advantages or customizable cores. The real focus has moved up the stack to system-level design. This is where connectivity, integration, and security define whether an innovation… Read More
I’m Steve Kim, the CEO of Chips&Media. I’ve been immersed in the multimedia imaging industry for approximately two decades. Prior to joining Chips&Media, I spent over five years working within handset manufacturing companies. Following more than ten years here at Chips&Media in roles spanning Marketing, Sales,… Read More
The rapid evolution of automotive technology has intensified the demand for highly reliable, high-performance semiconductor memory solutions. Modern vehicles increasingly rely ADAS driving features, and complex infotainment platforms, all of which require memory that can operate flawlessly under extreme environmental… Read More
For decades, One-Time Programmable (OTP) memory has been viewed as a foundational element of hardware security. Because OTP can be written only once and cannot be modified afterward, it has traditionally been trusted to store cryptographic keys, secure boot code, device identity, and configuration data. Permanence was often… Read More
