At 7nm and 5nm, in-circuit monitoring is becoming essential. Moortec CEO Stephen Crosher recently sat down to talk to Ed Sperling from Semiconductor Engineering about the impact of rising complexity, how different use cases and implementations can affect reliability and … Continue reading »

In the last three months, Codasip’s RISC-V processor offering has expanded considerably. For some years, Codasip has supplied Bk3 and Bk5 RISC-V cores aimed at low- to medium-complexity embedded applications. But recently four additional cores have joined the Codasip RISC-V offering. Three of the cores, the SweRV … Continue reading »

Managing and controlling thermal conditions in-chip is nothing new and embedded temperature monitoring has been going on for many years. What is changing however, is the granularity and accuracy of the sensing now available to SoC design teams. Thermal activity … Continue reading »

In this, the second part of a two-part series we delve further into defining worst case, this time focusing specifically on device performance. In the last blog we talked about the steady increase in power density per unit silicon area and how … Continue reading »
