Samsung Electronics is poised to unseat Intel as the world’s largest semiconductor company this year based on sales, as South Korea’s electronics giant benefits from strong demand for memory chips, according to market research firm IC Insights.
In device development, UL standards increasingly have to be taken into consideration. This whitepaper provides important information on simplified device design according to UL 600V.
Operating temperature fluctuations in medical diagnostic and analytical instrumentation equipment can significantly affect the test results and shorten the life of reagents or samples. The use of space-saving thermoelectric assemblies can solve this problem and provide temperature stability and condensation protection for analytical and medical instrumentation.

Jay Carlson has created a massive missive comparing 21 sub-$1 microcontrollers, and it’s glorious. Not just a simple look at chip specs, Jay dives deep into performance, and perhaps most importantly, ecosystems, devboards, and devtools. After all, any reasonably experienced engineer can get a handle on the hardware by scanning the datasheet, but the knowledge gleaned from spending a day or three with the devtools?

Some parasitic extraction constraints in semiconductor design evolve continuously between process generations. For example, the increasing dominance of interconnect vs. gate delay, and the similar dominance of sidewall capacitance vs. plate capacitance for interconnect on lower metal layers.
Siemens announced it agreed to buy Solido Design Automation, a Canadian provider of variation-aware design and characterization software to the semiconductor industry. The deal is the first acquisition in the EDA arena for Siemens since it bought Mentor Graphics for $4.5 billion earlier this year.
STMicroelectronics this week rolled out the successor to its STM32L4 series microcontrollers, offering significantly higher performance at ultra-low power consumption. The STM32L4+ devices, part of STMicro's STM32 family, feature an Arm Cortex-M core and can achieve performance of 150DMIPS (233 ULPMark-CP) at 120MHz, according to ST.

The ESP8266 is a wonderful Wi-Fi SoC that I have experimented with several times, playing with various boards and modules. Recently, I found a new ESP8266 toy: the Wi-Fi Witty, which currently sells for around $6 on ICStation. You just need a proper USB cable and a suitable compiler to start programming the Wi-Fi transceiver, which is a complete solution for home automation and IoT projects.
