Engineers who want to kick the tires on 2.5D chip
stacks have a new option starting today. Startup zGlue is providing
open access to a cloud-based program for designing stacks that it will
have made in low volumes with partners TSMC and ASE. The CloudBuilder
program lets engineers design 9 × 9-mm or smaller silicon interposers
and choose from a library of about 100 chips to lay on them. The tool
automates the process of routing and programming connections.
This White Paper explores how by using SDR,
engineers can build radios that can react more readily to interference,
employ more sophisticated channel-coding schemes to increase data
rates, and take advantage of other advanced RF technologies.
IBM
led in U.S. utility patent awards again in 2018, a year that saw a dip
in overall awards. But a new ranking of global patent holders showed
that Samsung leads the pack by far. The U.S. issued 308,853 utility
patents last year, down 3.5% from a historic high in 2017, according to
data compiled by IFI CLAIMS Patent Services.

The semiconductor industry is expected
to slow down and maybe even contract slightly this year, but analysts
are hopeful of a soft landing once the sector navigates the bumps of a
few big uncertainties ahead. Gartner forecasts chip revenue growth will
slow to 2.6% this year. It expects a bounce back to 8.1% growth in
2020, followed by a 1.8% contraction in 2021 ...

The advanced power management of high-performance
embedded computer systems prioritizes peak performance over
deterministic behavior. What can designers do if determinism is an
important factor for their embedded systems?
Nvidia rolled out its first mid-range GPU based on
the company’s Turing GPU architecture, promising to make available to
more PC gamers real-time ray-tracing graphics capability in a card that
retails for just $349. The GeForce RTX 2060, introduced by Nvidia CEO
Jensen Huang during the company’s pre-CES event in Las Vegas on Sunday
night, features 6 GB of GDDR6 memory and 240 Tensor cores capable of
delivering 52 teraflops of deep-learning compute.

Cree announced that it signed a
multi-year agreement to produce and supply its Wolfspeed silicon
carbide (SiC) wafers to STMicroelectronics. The agreement governs the
supply of a quarter billion dollars of Cree’s advanced 150mm silicon
carbide bare and epitaxial wafers to STMicroelectronics during this
period of extraordinary growth...

The industry 4.0 landscape includes connected
things, more data
analytics, new forms of human machine interfaces, AR/VR developments,
Advanced Robotics / 3D Printing, and other digitize industrial
equipment. However, non-volatile memory is being challenged to meet new
requirements in Industry 4.0 designs in five main ways...
With 5G moving out of the lab and onto the street,
we've received a flurry of recent announcements regarding
collaborations the print 5G design and test products to market.

Eighteen vendors and organizations
have signed a cooperation agreement to form a European edge computing
consortium, which aims to create a standard reference architecture and
technology stack that can be deployed across smart manufacturing, other
industrial IoT applications, and network operators.

It is becoming more and more
obvious that the departure of the UK from the EU will benefit very few
people, and cause disruption and pain for everyone else. In the case of
the power industry, at every level, there are very few winners. From
board-level electronics to the international energy infrastructure, the
impact of BREXIT will be profound.

Batteries are tough to test in both
the R&D phases. Sure, you can measure the voltage, charge flow,
and temperature, and even physical dimension changes, but after that,
it’s a struggle to see what’s going on internally. However, since
battery improvements are of such high interest, there are few limits
that researchers won’t investigate to gain real insight.

Organic LED (OLED) are now commonly used for
television and phone screens, but OLEDs promise to be the next big
thing in solid state lighting technology and might become useful in
other applications as well. Inorganic LEDs still tend to make more
economic and technological sense for many applications, but OLEDs have
some interesting properties that inorganic LEDs lack, and new
production techniques promise to reduce the cost...

“Connectivity” has defined a host of consumer
electronics devices trotted out at the Consumer Electronics
Show (CES) over the last 10 years. Whether consumer devices are
connected to social media or Netflix, Internet connectivity has played
a critical role in developing features, applications and
services. In fact, connectivity gave birth to a new
normal in the consumer electronics industry. Today, apps and services
determine the success of consumer products.
