ASIC design for the IoT

As everybody is trying to figure out what the Internet of Things (IoT) will look like and how connected things will work, I'd like to address a question that many people have: why design your own Integrated Circuit (IC) rather than just use an off-the-shelf processor, write software and be done?   In a nutshell, because ...

What is Semiconductors 3.0?

I am sick and tired to hear the same buzzwords a zillion times every single day. IoT, Cognitive Computing, Cloud Computing, Fog Computing, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Smart-whatever (from objects to cities and pretty soon toilet paper, I'm afraid). What really makes me sick is that these buzzwords are used, ...

IC Package Types and How to Choose One?

Introduction to Integrated Circuit Packaging   Integrated circuit packaging technologies have evolved throughout the years to the point where hundreds of IC package types are available today.    Most applications will require the more general, single-element packaging for integrated circuits and the other components such as resistors, capacitators, antenna etc. However, as the semiconductor ...

Integrated Circuit Packaging Overview

An integrated circuit package has the sole purpose of protecting and maintaining one or more integrated circuits. It is usually in the form of a plastic, glass, metal, or ceramic casing which creates a physical barrier of protection against things like impact and corrosion. Furthermore, it helps to hold contact ...
