Embedded analytics platform for design and debug of real-time systems
Embedded software systems – which are at the heart of a variety of electronic products from lightweight IoT sensors to high-performance computing (HPC) platforms – are prone to sporadic errors that can be hard to spot and virtually impossible to predict or to prevent from reoccurring. At the same time, traditional chip design requires the […]
Field of memory system improvements could lead to shrinking SRAM on SoCs
Leti, a research institute of CEA Tech, demonstrated significant improvements in the field of memory systems at IEDM 2017 this week. These include reconfiguring Static Random-Access Memory (SRAM) into Content-Addressable Memory (CAM), improving non-volatile crossbar memories and using advanced Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors (TFET). Another breakthrough presents a high-density SRAM bitcell on Leti’s CoolCubeTM 3D platform, […]
Image-stabilizing gyroscope brings shake-free photos in next-gen smartphones
Smaller, thinner smartphone camera modules can provide pin-sharp image stabilization and make extra space for new handset features, leveraging the reduced size, increased performance, and advanced vibration immunity of STMicroelectronics’ L20G20IS miniature 2-axis MEMS gyroscope. As the newest member of ST’s highly integrated Optical Image Stabilization device family, the L20G20IS measures just 2.0mm x 2.0mm x 0.7mm, liberating […]
NOR flash and NAND flash memory usage trends are evolving
Not everyone is familiar with the jargon that experienced engineers and technicians use when they talk about Microcontrollers (MCUs) and memory. NAND and NOR flash memories are used both externally and integrated with MCUs onto System-on-Chips (SoCs) and memory usage trends are evolving around other changes in technology. Both NOR and NAND flash have a […]
