16+ hour, 9+ min ago  (1181+ words) Why smarter charging, battery management, and power conversion are now the real differentiators in EVs and edge systems. Managing power is a key concern for all devices that run on a battery, whether it's to extend an electric vehicle's range,…...

16+ hour, 11+ min ago  (449+ words) Embedded World 2026 made one thing clear: AI is no longer confined to the cloud'it's moving decisively onto the device. Across our demos and conversations, a consistent theme emerged: intelligence is shifting closer to where data is created'into devices, environments, and…...

16+ hour, 6+ min ago  (195+ words) A focus on DRAM and NAND is squeezing NOR wafer capacity and backend test resources. These changes are not short-term adjustments; they reflect long-term commitments tied to hyperscaler demand and multi-year AI growth trajectories. As a result, traditional mid-range and…...

16+ hour, 11+ min ago  (308+ words) Whether caused by cosmic radiation, voltage glitches, or adversarial attacks, bit flips threaten data integrity, safety critical operation, and the foundations of hardware security. The flip of a tiny bit can bring down even the best-architected and most secure systems…...

16+ hour, 10+ min ago  (316+ words) A new embedded memory architecture with a three-transistor cell. As AI, automotive, and data centers continue to scale exponentially, one part of the chip has quietly become a bottleneck: embedded memory. Modern designs now dedicate more than half of their…...

16+ hour, 7+ min ago  (567+ words) Securing data in a way that preserves the predictable timing behavior required for AI-driven systems. The automotive industry is entering the age of physical AI. Vehicles are rapidly transforming into intelligent, software-defined systems that perceive their environment, make real-time decisions,…...

16+ hour, 4+ min ago  (445+ words) Security must be addressed at the platform level to ensure every security-relevant chiplet has an identity that can be consistently validated. In a previous blog, From Monolithic SoCs to Chiplets: A New Hardware Security Paradigm, we discussed why chiplets change…...

16+ hour, 10+ min ago  (395+ words) Post-quantum cryptography emerges as top concern, followed by AI and automotive complexity. The most urgent security challenges in chips are no longer abstract quantum-secure algorithm choices or late-stage feature additions. They are architectural decisions that must be made early, under…...

16+ hour, 4+ min ago  (96+ words) Managing power, heat, and complexity for reliability and performance. By John Ferguson and Sheltha Nolke Fig. 1: Stress hotspots in a 3D stack involve thermal, electrical and mechanical effects. Fig. 3: A shift-left approach runs multiphysics simulations starting at the conceptual phase. As…...

15+ hour, 37+ min ago  (524+ words) Maliciously injected content can result in the transmission of sensitive user data to attacker-controlled endpoints. We will now examine the full attack surface by breaking down the system architecture, trust assumptions, and step-by-step execution of the exploit. Throughout this work,…...
