The advent of massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) is creating new RF challenges for base station hardware while the new radio technology facilitates the path toward 5G wireless. So, the 5G infrastructure, already facing an increasing RF complexity, now demands another round of innovation on the part of semiconductor firms to improve network efficiency with more adaptable solutions.

Wireless networking drives our modern world, whether through cellular, Wi-Fi, or emerging standards like LoRaWAN and Sigfox. Another technology that?s become ubiquitous over its 20 years of existence is Bluetooth.

The spotlight on FPGAs seems to come and go. Xilinx made quite a splash a few years ago with its ARM-based Zynq launch and frankly, has remained in that spotlight. Quicklogic recently made an announcement with SiFIve regarding FPGA templates using RISC-V.

Zvonimir Bandic is the Senior Director of Hardware Platforms for Western Digital; he?s a Member of the Board of Directors for the RISC-V Foundation, and he?s the Chairman of the Chips Alliance.

Lattice Semiconductor Corporation introduced its MachXO3D FPGA that will help OEMs integrate comprehensive and flexible hardware-based security for all system components.

In this new and timely executive briefing paper by MIT Technology Review Insights, learn how engineering teams use new technologies and agile processes to optimize the engineering lifecycle and continuously improve product development.

While the allure of unsupported Linux draws in many, the long-term costs and resource requirements associated with updating, patching, and scaling those systems can become prohibitive. With embedded Linux operating systems from SUSE, you can stay focused on creating innovative products that are secure, easy to manage, and supported by a trusted partner with a proven track record in open source technology.

Optocouplers have been the go-to signal isolation solution for years, but digital isolators fabricated in complementary metallic oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process technology are gaining favor in the design community.

The IoT is changing consumer behavior and expectations, and leading businesses are responding to its challenges and opportunities. Product development in the IoT world is increasingly consumer driven, requiring proactive development processes that include feedback loops as early and as often as possible in the design process.
