Pseudo hardening in SoC design

... challenge for VLSI designers. In pursuit of project cycle time reduction various approaches are followed today. One such approach is the parallel development of the IP along with the SOC. So late stage integration of such critical blocks is not a rarity these days. Usually, there's an initial IP design available to the SOC team while the final delivery of the block is supposed to happen towards the end of the project. The initial design is frozen from IP-to-SOC interface perspective and interface pins are thus mutually agreed upon and are final before initiating the SOC implementation. The conventional approach...

Power: a significant challenge in EDA design

... interconnect between the die, thus reducing the I/O’s active-power consumption. As the cost of 3-D ICs begins to decrease and as designers get a better understanding of thermal impact, a migration to 3-D ICs...

Sound-expanding IC yields audio analog of 3-D for smartphones, tablets

... a more immersive audio sensation, even from the headphones or closely spaced speakers that users often employ with these devices. The IC manipulates the audio tracks to provide a spatially expanded, 3-D-like sound impression, with user-programmable parameters and configuration.The IC also integrates a pair of 18-bit stereo ADCs and matching Class D amplifiers, which can continuously drive as much as 2W per channel...

Compact LCOS pico projector cuts costs

.../green/green/blue) LED driver for pico-projector-display applications. The optical-engine/driver-IC Pico-qHD fits on a 1.7×2 in. PCB. Intersil claims that the $2.50 (1000) Pico-qHD is the least-expensive and the smallest production-ready LED-LCOS pico projector.Intersil is offering an LED-LCOS-pico-projector reference design that includes the ISL97901 buck-boost LED driver, the TW8835 LCD video processor, the ISL9307 powermanagement IC, the ISL9110 buck-boost converter, and the ISL9230 battery charger. The optional ISL58333 optoelectrical-IC sensor for automatic, real-time white-balance control maintains image quality...

TCL to launch motion-controlled Android TV first in China

... with advanced features. Keys to that speed are licensable software and readily available smart TV SOCs. TCL pulled it off first by partnering with Hillcrest, and second, leveraging an Android TV SOC developed by one of the biggest Taiwanese consumer chip companies—either MediaTek or MStar. MediaTek showed off its motion-controlled Android TV SOC at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year in an invitation-only hotel ball room in Las Vegas. Asked about a design with TCL, MediaTek, however, declined to comment. By using Hillcrest's motion software, TCL is bringing motion, gesture and cursor control...

Enpirion DC-DC modules use LDMOS to raise volts and efficiency, shrink size

... it can't touch the 600V+ blocking voltages of SiC. Enpirion refers to its modules as power system-on-chip (PwrSOC). It integrates the controller, power MOSFETs, high frequency input capacitors, compensation network, and inductor all in one IC-like package, controlling package layout and parasitics and removing those headaches from the system designer. The EN2300 family devices switch at 2MHz. The EN...
