The importance of AI and ML, the rise of edge computing, and the need for flexible programming in AI. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the biggest buzzwords in the technology industry today and is often thought of in broad terms to describe connected “smart” technology. However, when you think about all the different features enabled by AI and the outcomes AI solutions are designed to deliver, it becomes clear that the AI landscape and AI development is incredibly complex. The ...

The global smart toy market is projected to grow to nearly $70 billion by 2026, per Transparency Market Research. Smart toys take a variety of shapes, like electronic pets, robots, smart train kits, and more. When you hear the word toy, you likely automatically think these are for kids, however some are developed specifically targeting older generations. The current senior toy marketplace contains products that range in utility from providing companionship to increasing cognitive skills to facil...

The world has become in many ways more fragile, and a quick look into recent Supply Chain issues highlights this very well. The global growth of interdependencies and complexities of enterprises has introduced fragility into many cyber-systems. Cybersecurity has been top of mind for years across all markets and industries, but we’ve reached an inflection point. Cyberattacks have continued to grow in velocity and veracity as bad actors find new invasive ways to penetrate systems and take ad...

A new space race is officially upon us, one that brings the “Final Frontier” much closer to home than ever before. While we regularly see headlines about shuttle launches, there is another space application that’s much more common today – the growing number of satellites occupying the space sector known as “low Earth orbit,” aka “LEO.” This is where most of the “action” is taking place, making what once seemed remote and inaccessible to...

Security is an increasingly important consideration for design engineers across all technology applications as the frequency and sophistication of cyber and physical attacks increases. In the aerospace and defense industry, robust hardware security is mission critical to field success and for protecting sensitive information. Security is a top priority at Lattice and is part of what makes Lattice the FPGA industry leader. Today our security offerings span hardware, software, solution stacks, and...

With the new year upon us and CES® 2022 now complete, many people are wondering what important tech trends we can expect to see bubble up this year. On one hand, it’s fairly easy to predict that a number of the big developments that first popped up over the last few years—things like 5G, AI, cloud computing, and more—will continue to grow in importance and influence this year. At the same time, there are several relatively new areas that I think are going to get a lot of at...

Our latest Lattice Security Seminar focused on cybersecurity implementations and topics in Industrial settings, titled “Industrial Cyber Security Trends and Standards in FPGAs”. We were joined by our wonderful partners Perseus Information Security Consulting and Dekra Labs. If you missed the live event, you can watch a recording of the seminar here, or read on to explore some of the highlights. The “Industry 4.0” era represents the merger between the IT and the OT worlds...

Traditionally, FPGA design was simple. Designers set a basic clock constraint that was propagated across the chip. But now, FPGA designs have become much more complex. There are multiple clocks, and relationships between those clocks. There may be clock domain crossings that need to be accounted for. So, FPGA design tools today must feature much greater analysis capabilities to show the designer, for example, where those clock domain crossings are, to be able to constrain for multiple clocks, an...

One of the most exciting topics in the tech world is Artificial Intelligence, or AI. From its science-fiction like promise of intelligent machines to its more practical implementations as additional smarts in connected devices, AI is one of the most powerful technologies now available. But, as the well-known Peter Parker principle dictates, “With great power comes great responsibility” and so it is with AI. Companies building AI-enabled products and services, in particular, have star...
