Software eases LCD design
Nuvoton Technology has announced the launch of its new LCD simulation software, NuTool-LCDView. NuTool-LCDView is a software tool that assists the development of TN-LCDs with Arm-based microcontrollers (MCUs). It provides a clear visual emulation of the planned LCD layout and hardware design during development, enhancing the communication between developers and engineers. Nuvoton is a leading […]
Software stack for autonomous and semi-autonomous driving
Ambarella, Inc. announced its autonomous driving (AD) software stack, which is primarily based on deep learning AI processing for all of its modular components, including environmental perception, sensor fusion and vehicle path planning. This leading-edge AD stack and Ambarella’s CV3-AD AI domain controller system-on-chip (SoC) family were designed in conjunction, so the stack runs optimally […]
What are the four types of machine learning, and what are they used for?
Machine learning (ML) is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI). It’s used to enable machines to independently improve their performance using data and experience to modify future actions. ML applications range from autonomous vehicles to business processes. Various approaches to ML use different learning styles, require different levels of data input, and are optimized for […]
MEMs OCXO targets precision timing for aerospace & defense
SiTime Corporation announced its Endura Epoch Platform built for robust and resilient positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) services critical in defense operations. The ruggedized MEMS oven-controlled oscillator (OCXO) boosts the resilience of PNT systems and other equipment, such as radars, field and airborne radios, satcom terminals, and avionics against spoofing, jamming, and other disruptions in Global […]
IP engine integrated into RoT or embedded secure element in SoCs and FPGAs
Rambus Inc. announced the availability of a Quantum Safe Engine (QSE) for integration into hardware security elements in ASICs, SoCs, and FPGAs. Quantum computers will enable adversaries to break current asymmetric encryption, placing important data and assets at risk. The Rambus QSE IP core uses NIST-selected quantum-resistant algorithms to protect valuable data centers and government hardware […]
Hardware-based RoT enables auto devices to meet automotive functional safety standard

QuiddiKey 400 has been developed following an ISO 26262 functional-safety-compliant flow and meets the ISO 26262 Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) B fault metric and ASIL D for systematics failures. It leverages […]
Tiny TCXO targets mission-essential, low-earth orbit spacecraft electronics
Q-Tech Corporation introduces its New Space Series temperature compensated crystal oscillators (TCXOs). Designed by the company’s German affiliate, AXTAL, these New Space Series devices, built with a modern TCXO IC, exhibit low phase noise, and high-frequency stability and are fully TID and SEE radiation tested. Optimized for low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite timing & frequency generation […]
What is Rust used for in an embedded system?
Rust is an emerging systems programming language that’s mostly used for memory management, safety, and performance. It’s a statically typed programming language like Java, C, and C++, where variable types are known at compile time, and it’s designed for performance and safety, especially safe concurrency and memory management. Rust’s low-level control and memory safety make […]
