In the world of semiconductor design, constraints are essentially specifications and requirements that guide the implementation of a specific hardware or software component within a larger system. They dictate timing, area, power, performance, and of course functionality of a design, playing a crucial role in ensuring that… Read More
Audio Video Bridging (AVB) is a well-established standard for in-car infotainment, and there is a significant amount of activity for specifying and developing AVB solutions in vehicles. The primary use case for AVB is interconnecting all devices in a vehicle’s infotainment system. That includes the head unit, rear-seat entertainment… Read More
ARM Cortex-A series processor core (A57, A53) are well known in the high performance market segments, like Application Processor for smartphone, Set-Top-Box or networking. If you look at the electronic market you realize that multiple applications are cost sensitive and doesn’t need such high performance processor core. … Read More
Tightly coupled memory (TCM) is a salient feature in the Cortex-M7 microcontrollers as it boosts the MCU performance by offering single cycle access for the CPU and by securing the high-priority latency-critical requests from the peripherals.… Read More
