IC Insights’ recently released 2015 edition of 'The McClean Report' shows that DRAM bit volume grew by an average of 67% per year from 1995-2005. In the 10 years since then, however, bit volume growth has averaged 43% per year (see figure below). A worldwide economy mired in recession reduced bit volume growth to an all-time low of 21% in 2009, a big contrast to the 1990s when annual DRAM bit volume growth remained above 70%.

ARM Cortex MCUs continue to push the price/performance ratio to unprecedented levels. In addition, the inclusion of a subset of the CoreSight debug architecture in these device families improves debugging capabilities substantially without incurring excessive cost. It is now possible to have greater visibility into the dynamics of complex real-time embedded applications than ever before.

How a system built from 24 FPGAs, 96 antennas plus a custom 802.11 implementation enables the real-time study ofMulti-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) propagation environments. By Patrick Murphy, President, Mango Communications; Chris Dick, Chief DSP Scientist, Xilinx; Ashutosh Sabharwal, Professor, Rice University; Lin Zhong, Associate Professor, Rice University; and Clayton Shepard, Graduate Student, Rice University.

Metal oxide display backplanes have already gone commercial. Sharp has invested in establishing a Gen8 IGZO plant at its Kameyama plant in Japan while LG has also selected IGZO backplanes for its large-sized white OLED technology. At the same time, Chinese companies such as BOE are fast playing catch up with both prototype and production capacity announcements. By Dr Khasha Ghaffarzadeh, Head of Consulting, IDTechEx.

The recently released ANSYS 16.0 offers advanced functionality, from simulating theIoT's software/hardware interactions to better understanding advanced structural materials, enabling engineers to rapidly innovate products.ANSYS 16.0 advances the company’s entire portfolio, including structures, fluids, electronics and systems engineering solutions, allowing engineers to validate complete virtual prototypes.

Tom Gregory of Future Facilities explains how thermal simulation can reduce electronic product and system development and deployment costs. As he does so, he reveals how the integration of greater intelligence and automation into thermal modelling tools is delivering real benefits to a growing number of engineers.

The Yokogawa DLM4000 8-channel mixed-signal oscilloscope is playing a key part in pre-compliance tests on high-power inverter drives produced by PCS (Power Convertor Solutions) in Berlin, Germany. The company, part of the Knorr-Bremse Group, develops and manufactures modular inverter systems for power ratings from 5 kW to 7 MW.

The WindEEE Research Institute has confirmed the successful installation of a short-range 3D WindScanner, based on ZephIR Continuous Wave Lidar technology and supplied by the Wind Energy Department of the Technical University of Denmark, to study turbulence effects for wind turbines, buildings and structures.

Imagination Technologiesreports that an impressively broad range of products at the recent International CES 2015 incorporated one or more of its technologies, reflecting a growing recognition of Imagination’s higher quality graphics, audio and video; high-performance and highly-efficient processing; and on-chip connectivity.

Driving simulator software, originally developed for Formula 1, will enable vehicle manufacturers to test Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) technologies more accurately than ever before, says makerrFpro. The company believes many of the challenges faced by ADAS developers can be reduced by validating the control system response more comprehensively with a Driver-In-the-Loop (DIL) prior to installation on the vehicle.
