ID papers all have something that ties the document to the right person, whether it is merely a picture of the person or biometric identification through fingerprints, as in modern passports. So, the biometrics are the security anchor on which a system with permissions (do you get to cross...
Chinese officials are evaluating the possibility of selling TikTok’s U.S. operations to billionaire Elon Musk as the short-video app faces a looming U.S. ban over national security concerns,Bloomberg Newsreported. This move comes as TikTok faces apossible banin the United States which is set ...
An external device could monitor power levels on the system board, but the interface between the detector and the at-risk IC would itself be vulnerable to tampering and intrusion. This means that voltage glitch detection should be implemented as an IP block in the chip’s circuitry. T...
I'm still going through all of that email but will get back to everyone. Also, I would like to apologize in advance for getting a song stuck in everyone's head. I'm sorry. But I'm also not sorry. The Rails Envy podcast is sponsored this week by Engine Yard, fully managed hosting...
Each main channel is completely isolated, which enables the system to run tests on each cell in a battery pack independently. Users can now get capacity values from charge/discharge tests, balance cells to a desired level, and run other diagnostic tests on individual cells within the pack ...
This article describes five areas where designers can take advantage of this new process with the latest logic library technology to optimize the performance, power and area of their system on chips (SoCs). First, designers can improve SoC performance by using the global slow and fast (SSG, FF...
In practice, the same general approach may be applied to other modules, regardless of the wireless protocols involved. What is a Wi-Fi module? A Wi-Fi module comprises a wireless transceiver for 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands (or both), an antenna, and a microcontroller to run firmware, enable the...
This paper describes a modeling project to architect the bus topology and evaluate the read/write traffic patterns for a new multimedia System-On-Chip. Using the selected modeling and simulation exercise, we were able to validate the entire architecture in three months. In the process, we learned...
You can get solid libraries from the manufacturer and be quickly on your way. For even faster performance, engineers are splicing their other processing code in-line with FFT libraries. This is particularly effective when a system is to be optimized for a specific frequency or profile....
Soft errors are random, non-recurring change of state or transient in semiconductors due to energetic particles interacting with the silicon. As SRAM process technology scales for improved performance, the reduced voltage and shrinking node capacitance makes the SRAM devices more susceptible to soft err...
