The Internet of Things (IoT) is the interconnection of millions of autonomous devices to the internet. These devices collect data on physical parameters and processes and report those to the network. Some autonomously, or by network command, provide outputs that control other equipment and systems.
There are a wide
With the prospects of large 450mm wafers going nowhere, IC manufacturers are increasing efforts to maximize fabrication plants using 300mm and 200mm diameter silicon substrates. The number of 300mm wafer production-class fabs in operation worldwide is expected to increase each year between now and 2021 to reach 123 compared to

Energy management is at the heart of the new generation of systems-on-chips (SoCs) targeting battery-powered applications. More complex power architectures are required to enable devices to run on the same battery for years rather than months. These new architectures often result in new noise challenges.
To deal with the
Sankalp Semiconductor, a design service company offering comprehensive digital & mixed signal SoC services and solutions today announced that it has received investment from Stakeboat Capital Fund, a value oriented, alternative investment fund. The strategic investment from Stakeboat Capital will enable Sankalp Semiconductor to grow at an accelerated pace in

For RFID Tags, dynamic power consumption is a critical performance as the capability to lower power translates into a wider range of detection (RFID tag read range) and a highest identification rate in the same range.
One of the main degree of freedom to improve power consumption of RFID
IC Insights recently released its September Update to The McClean Report. The 32-page Update included a detailed look at the pure-play semiconductor foundry market. Shown below is an excerpt from the Update.
With the rise of fabless IC companies in China, demand for foundry services in that country has also increased. Figure 1 shows IC
Silicon Creations, a leading supplier of high-performance analog and mixed-signal intellectual property (IP), was awarded the 2017 TSMC Open Innovation Platform® (OIP) Partner of the Year Award for Analog/Mixed Signal IP at the recent TSMC OIP Ecosystem Forum in Santa Clara, Calif.
Silicon Creations has collaborated with TSMC
TSMC Chairman Morris Chang today announces: “I will retire from the Company immediately after the Annual Shareholders Meeting in early June, 2018. I will not be a director in the next term of the board of directors. Nor will I participate in any TSMC management activities after the Annual Shareholders

Taiwan-based semiconductor foundry TSMC announced it will build its cutting-edge semiconductor fabrication plant in Tainan, ending speculation that it might skip Taiwan and invest in the U.S.
“Following careful evaluation, the Company’s planned advanced 3nm fab will be located in the Tainan Science Park to fully leverage the company’s
There are many techniques available for hackers to gain access to a system and obtain secret keys or other proprietary information– from invasive methods, such as microprobing, to non-invasive methods, such as cryptoanalysis. However, one of the easiest and most effective ways to extract the contents of a chip is
