Embedded Computing Design

Adding touch capability to your display can be a tricky endeavor, especially if that display is aimed at an industrial application, where the conditions may be less than perfect. In this video, you’ll see how Infineon addresses the issue with a product that works just as well in consumer products as industrial.

Smart door locks are fairly common today, but they could be significantly smarter (and lower power). 

Compute Express Link, aka CXL, is a low-latency, cache-coherent interconnect that connects processors, memory, and other accelerator devices. It’s built on top of PCI Express and over the past couple of years, it’s been emerging as the winner in the interface wars.

AI seems to be omni-present. It’s in the news, it’s in our classrooms, and it’s certainly in our engineering labs. But are we spending too much time discussing the technology that’s the current “new thing,” or is it really the greatest technology of our lifetime?

Research and Markets estimates that the global VLSI market will be worth USD 662.2 billion in 2023. Market analysts predict that it will be worth USD 971.71 billion in 2028, growing at an 8% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). The development of VLSI technology has opened up new possibilities in the field of microelectronics. The landscape of electronic systems has been fundamentally changed by VLSI technology, which can combine millions of transistors onto a single chip. This ground-breaking innovation has produced extremely advanced and effective electronic devices that are incredibly powerful and small.

Energy harvesting has been with us for quite some time, but it has not achieved the lofty goals that industry insiders predicted. 

It really is possible to make memory that’s geared toward a particular application, if you’re still of the belief that AI is an application. I learned that fact recently, thanks to the folks at Micron Technology, who recently announced that they are delivering qualification samples of the company’s Universal Flash Storage (UFS) 4.0 mobile solution.

DRAM is DRAM, right? There’s no difference from manufacturer to manufacturer. If that’s your take, you’ll likely find yourself in trouble when it comes to your design’s memory subsystem.

The judges have met and the votes are in. I’m pleased to announce the latest round of Embedded Computing Design’s Best in Show winners for the Automate 2023 Show.

AI and machine learning are relatively new technologies in the embedded space. And the only way an application space can grow is by having a robust ecosystem. Some may argue that such an ecosystem already exists for AI, while others say that developers should wait a bit before diving in.
