The semiconductor foundry space can be broadly classified into two dominant categories: the Digital Foundry and the Analog (or Specialty) Foundry. The Digital Foundry leverages a large capital investment into…
Traditional verification methods are not sufficient to fully verify multi-threaded systems. Most embedded systems today are powered by multi-threaded software, e.g., running on Linux or a real-time operating system (RTOS).…
Many companies and developers are moving to a “fail fast” philosophy. Getting an electronics product to market is significantly different than it was just 10 years ago. The two biggest…
Increasing complexity in embedded devices requires a smarter approach during software development. The level of complexity of embedded devices continues to increase unabated. At the same time, the pressure to…
It’s important to follow sound principles with respect to any driving circuits used with these devices. Over the past few decades, the use of piezoelectric actuators has seen a growing…
Introducing a new mechanism to detect and mitigate memory corruption in MCU-based applications. Embedded software developers working at the real-time operating system (RTOS) level know that memory corruption issues are…
Take full advantage of the cloud, AI/ML, AR/VR, PLM integration, and registered designs. In a climate of unconstrained innovation and impatience for development timelines, manufacturers constantly search for tools to…
New tools are required to verify SoCs with 100+ billion transistors. As technology nodes shrink, the number of transistors on chips continues to grow at an exponential rate. For example,…
One of CAPSTONE’s purposes was to test new and unproven technologies. At 7:39 p.m. EST on 13 November 2022, a microwave-sized CubeSat named CAPSTONE completed its sixth engine burn to…
Manufacturing is a process that is ripe for error. Don’t get caught out! When I first burned myself with a soldering iron, getting prototype electronics built was a relatively simple…
