Surprising IDT stats underpin product strategy
IDT has put together some extraordinary stats to underpin its product strategy in FIFOs, multiport memories, memory interfaces and timing products. Phones are checked 100 billion times a day by the six billion people (80% of the world population of 7.4 billion people) who own a mobile phone. Facebook gets nine billion visits a day; WhatApp gets ...
Understanding the IoT cloud and how it will change things
When first proposed, a “thing” on the newly named internet of things (IoT) was imagined as something that could be counted and these existed in relatively simple applications, now IoT is expanding into machine-to-machine (M2M) communication and applications such as manufacturing and power utilities, writes Martha Zemede. While automation is already important in manufacturing, IoT ...
Mentor massively accelerates verification
Ever-increasing chip sizes and complexity are increasing the need for full-chip verification in the early stages of software validation, according to Jean-Marie Brunet, Mentor’s marketing director. “Networking chips are now the biggest chips out there – they can be bigger than 20x20mm and have more than 400 million gates,” says Brunet. “Simulation is insufficient because ...

CBI calls for increased government R&D spend
The CBI is pressing the Government to prioritise innovation and science funding in the forthcoming Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR). Raising total research and development spending to 3% of GDP will help achieve this, buttressed by a dedicated and long-term industrial strategy. Both are growth-enhancing measures that contribute to increased productivity. The CBI is calling on ...

IC designers have long understood the value of SPICE simulation for mixed signal and analogue analysis, but it is also being used to analyse digital circuits and could be a critical element of IoT node design, writes Gerhard Angst Design complexity can be addressed in a number of ways; often it is to break a ...

Chips that make the connected car more real
Cars connected to the IoT will avoid traffic jams and be safer to drive, and semiconductor suppliers are starting to offer the products to make this happen, writes Steven Keeping. The internet of things (IoT) differs from the traditional Internet by replacing the main source of data input (humans) with computers, machines and sensors. Such ...
