AI is evolving at a rapid pace not just from continued technology advancements, but also by various industries’ demands and requirements. With the surge of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI, the industry is grappling with the intense compute capabilities these cloud-based AI applications require to process big data, as well as train and deploy advanced AI models. Now, the industry is seeing AI being implemented into client devices including PCs and smartphones, and Edge applic...

On August 13, 2024, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released the eagerly awaited Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards. These standards introduce three new encryption algorithms designed to secure systems against both classical and future quantum computer attacks, providing a necessary evolution from RSA and ECC asymmetric encryption algorithms. In this blog, we outline the impact of these standards and the essential steps for system designers to transition to PQ...

Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) play an important role in a multitude of today’s technology. From aerospace and defense to consumer electronics to critical infrastructure and the automotive industry, the prevalence of FPGAs in our lives is growing. Also growing are the threats to those FPGAs. The resources spent to create the IP (Intellectual Property) that runs (firmware) inside FPGAs are vast, as is the technology protected by these FPGAs. This makes FPGAs a potential target for ...

The cyberthreat landscape is reaching unprecedented levels, underscoring the need for resilient security strategies across all sectors. Forbes has reported a shocking 72% increase in data breaches year-over-year since 2021. With the average data breach inflicting a staggering $4.45 million loss on an organization, it’s clear that cyber resilience is not just important but essential for the survival and health of any enterprise in today’s digital age. However, building that resilienc...

In the world of FPGAs, design software plays a crucial role in the overall system development process, making end-to-end programming easier with advanced features to enable design flexibility while fully utilizing the device capabilities. However, oftentimes, non-FPGA designers or first-time users can experience a steep learning curve as FPGA-based System-on-chip (SoC) design is a multidisciplinary undertaking, requiring expertise in hardware architecture, embedded software, system integration,...

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, this year’s Global Cybersecurity Outlook from the World Economic Forum provides crucial insights into the multifaceted challenges facing leaders across the globe. Geopolitical instability, rapidly advancing technologies, and an increasing gap in organizational cyber capabilities reinforce the need to build resilience and enable systemic global collaboration. As threats like sophisticated ransomware, firmware attacks, and the expanded use of...

Electronics products can frequently run in excess of 20-year product lifecycles. This fact clearly makes product longevity an important device selection criterion for FPGAs. No company wants to face a rushed last time buy or an unexpected board redesign due to FPGA obsolescence. Finding a suitable supplier of an obsolete part can be a complex undertaking, especially if the original FPGA design team has long since departed from your organization. Between 2020 and present, some FPGA suppliers hav...

Smart cameras are gaining widespread adoption in our technology-driven world. These standalone vision systems are equipped with sensors, computing power, and AI-driven decisioning capabilities, and do more than just capture images – they extract information and execute actions. Consider this: In 2022, the smart camera market was valued at $3.48 billion, but projections indicate it will soar to $8 billion by 2031. With an unprecedented deployment of AI-powered smart cameras, the demand for ...

Space exploration has always captivated humanity’s imagination and our fascination continues to drive technological advancements in the industry. Over the past several years, we’ve witnessed groundbreaking advancements in the space industry – so much so that the global space technology economy is expected to reach $1.8 trillion by 2035. As the sector grows, there is rising demand for advanced microcircuits to build the next generation of space systems – like satellites &...

In today’s data-driven world, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and digital twin technologies are transforming industries, revolutionizing processes, and reshaping enterprise business environments. With more than 328 million terabytes of data created each day, it has become the new “oil” – providing the energy needed to fuel next generation digital systems. However, the effectiveness and reliability of these technologies heavily depends on the quality ...
