Design

Have you ever thought about the total cost of using a crystal resonator versus a MEMS oscillator? This question may not be at the forefront of your selection process when the price of crystals seems so cheap – at least on the surface.

Siemens Digital Industries Software announces it has extended its longstanding collaboration with TSMC through multiple new development projects, product certifications, and innovative technology enablement for the foundry’s newest process technologies.

Synopsys announces its continued, close collaboration with TSMC to deliver advanced EDA and IP solutions on TSMC's most advanced process and 3DFabric technologies to accelerate innovation for AI and multi-die designs.

Qamcom has announced the completion of a joint research project, and the publication of an article titled 'Bendable Non-Silicon RISC-V Microprocessor'.

Siemens Digital Industries Software announces that Japan-based Preferred Networks (PFN), a pioneer in deep learning and artificial intelligence technology, has selected Siemens’ PowerPro software to optimise the power efficiency of its next-generation AI processors.

Pickering Interfaces, the supplier of modular signal switching and simulation solutions for use in electronic test and verification, announces that its Microwave Switch Design Tool – a free online tool for configuring application-specific PXI and LXI RF and microwave switching subsystems with just a few clicks – has been updated to include schematic design and simulation capabilities.

System engineers face multiple architectural options in hardware design. Among these, the choice between an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) and a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Each has distinct advantages, but which is the ideal choice for your project? 

The landscape of embedded systems is undergoing a significant transformation. More and more, we’re seeing a transition away from traditional hardware-defined systems, and towards software-defined systems-on-chip. 

Researchers from the University of Michigan have developed a new type of display technology inspired by the way squids communicate.

Engineers Without Borders UK, the organisation leading a movement to put global responsibility at the heart of engineering, has launched the 2024/25 cycle of the award-winning Engineering for People Design Challenge in partnership with Engineers Without Borders South Africa and Makers Valley Partnership.
