ReRAMs can be used as PUFs

Crossbar, the ReRAM specialist, says its devices can be used as a physical unclonable function (PUF) in order to generate cryptographic keys in secure computing applications. While historically utilized as non-volatile semiconductor memory, CrossBar’s ReRAM technology in now being introduced for use in hardware security applications utilising its ReRAM based cryptographic PUF keys, enabling a ...

Ad-dc chip drives LED lighting at 125W

Infineon is aiming at LED lighting with a family of single-stage fly-back off-line controller chips for constant voltage outputs. Called ICL88xx, up to 125W can be delivered in primary-side-regulated (right) and opto-coupler secondary-side-regulated configurations. They are optimised as secondary-side regulated constant-voltage output controllers. ICL8800 is the basic variant ICL8810 has added burst-mode operation for <100mW stand-by ...

MEMS becoming more human

The first signs are appearing that MEMS devices could emulate and sense their environment with human-like capabilities, using the five best-known senses in a “phy-gital” meta-world, forecasts Yole Developpement. The final step for MEMS would be to evolve from simple deterministic data-collection sensors to more empathic data-interpretation machines. Devices could discern and predict user moods, ...

Sandia researchers can see why lithium-metal batteries fail

For decades, scientists have tried to make reliable lithium-metal batteries which hold 50% more energy than lithium-ion batteries, but higher failure rates and safety problems like fires and explosions have crippled commercialisation efforts. Researchers have hypothesized why the devices fail, but direct evidence has been sparse. Sandia National Laboratories scientists Katie Harrison, left, and Katie ...
