DigiKey, a leading global commerce distributor offering the largest selection of technical components and automation products in stock for immediate shipment, announced today it has expanded its product portfolio through…
The newly introduced DA14592 Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) System-on-Chip (SoC) represents Renesas’s lowest power consumption and smallest multi-core (Cortex-M33, Cortex-M0+) BLE device. By carefully balancing tradeoffs between on-chip memory (RAM/ROM/Flash)…
Battery measurements are crucial for energy storage, consumption, and transportation. Accurate and efficient techniques are essential for ensuring quality, estimating state of health (SoH) and state of charge (SoC), and…
Why are the analog and digital portions of an IC design so different? Since the creation of the first transistor, the complexity of integrated circuit (IC) design has increased massively,…
Quadric’s general-purpose neural processing unit (GPNPU) future-proofs ML designs. Nearly every new system-on-chip (SoC) design start is incorporating machine learning (ML) inference capabilities. The applications are widespread—smartphones, tablets, security cameras,…
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,…
Today’s SoCs are so complex they need a network-on-chip (NoC) By Clive “Max” Maxfield, Editor at DENA, CTO of LogiSwitch, and freelance technical writer and consultant. In the same way…
2023 will see several initiatives becoming more commercially robust. For example, the continued commercialization of the RISC-V ISA. We will see the advent of more advanced application processors, as opposed…
Systems used in many high-reliability commercial aviation, space, defense, automotive and industrial applications require certification to the IEC 61508 Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3 functional safety specification. To reduce the…
Enterprise FPGA prototyping is being used to fill the gap between an emulator’s powerful analysis/debug capabilities and the raw performance of a desktop FPGA prototyping board. System-on-chip (SoC) designers are…
