CES 2018: Welcome to the toy shop
The International Consumer Electronics Show, colloquially known as CES, is big, very big. The annual event takes over the gambling city of Las Vegas every January revealing a mix of the weird and wonderful ideas that have, or are about to, or may never, come to fruition. Nobody cares. This is about science fiction turning to fact, this is about imagination, this is the grown-ups’ toy shop.
VR app teaches to diagnose stroke
Qualcomm Incorporated has announced that its subsidiary, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. released additional findings of its landmark study, The 5G Economy.
Reference design supports Qualcomm quick charging
Global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within the broad discrete, logic, analogue and mixed-signal semiconductor markets, Diodes Incorporated, and Weltrend Semiconductor, provider of USB Type-C Power Delivery (PD) controllers, have announced a joint reference design for a 27W, Class A charger that is one of the industry’s first chargers to support Qualcomm Quick Charge 4 specification for the...
Collaboration focuses on Drive On-Device artificial intelligence
Qualcomm Technologies a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated and SenseTime Group have announced plans to collaborate on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for future mobile and IoT products.This collaboration will draw from the expertise of both companies in AI by leveraging SenseTime’s ML models and algorithms with Qualcomm Snapdragon premium and high-tier platforms, which offer advanced heterogeneous computing capabilit...
Ga-doped Ge source/drain contacts achieve low contact resistivity
At the International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM), imec reported ultralow contact resistivity of 5x10-10Ωcm2 on Gallium (Ga)-doped p-Germanium (Ge) source/drain contacts. The low contact resistivity and high level of Ga activation were achieved after nanosecond laser activation (NLA) at low thermal budget. The results show that highly Ga-doped Ge-rich source/drain contacts provide a promising route for suppressing parasitic source/drain resi...
Heterogeneous sequential for advanced CMOS nodes
At the 2017 International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM), imec, research and innovation hub in nano-electronics and digital technology, presented the first Power-Performance-Area-Cost (PPAC) analysis of different sequential 3D-integration variants using advanced 5nm and 3nm CMOS technology nodes.
Ho ho - already? Five tech gift ideas for Christmas
Whether you like it or not, Christmas is coming. (In 60 days, to be precise, as the sole Electronic Specifier Christmas-lover just delighted in telling me). In preparation of the big day, Open2Europe has compiled a list of five tech gift ideas for Christmas.
How will wireless infrastructure change in the next decade?
The 5th generation of cellular networks is anticipated to arrive in the timeframe of the next two to five years, enabling Gbps datarates and a plethora of new applications and services. One of the key drivers for developing such speed is high resolution video demand (4, 8K etc) over mobile devices.
USB-C controller is Qualcomm Quick Charge certified
USB-C provider,Cypress Semiconductor, claims that its EZ-PD CCG3PA USB-C controller is one of the industry’s first to achieve Qualcomm Quick Charge 4 certification, enabling mobile phone chargers to deliver an improved fast charging user experience. Quick Charge 4 supports USB Power Delivery (PD) 3.0. USB PD features programmable power supply (PPS), which provides fast, efficient charging by allowing a smartphone to communicate with the cha...
