ICs or Integrated Chips are the fundamental building blocks of all modern-day electronic devices. They're made of lots of tiny parts like resistors, capacitors, and transistors printed into a small piece of material known as silicon. These chips are in almost everything electronic we...

SkyWater Technology has announced that it will be extending its partnership with Alphabet’s Google, releasing an open source Process Design Kit., for its commercial 90nm, fully depleted silicon on insulator (FDSOI), CMOS process technology. This announcement came shortly after the US...

With the exponential increase in the demand and requirement of silicon-based chips, Google, in partnership with SkyWater Technology, has launched a new platform to encourage and help the developer community to get started with its Open MPW shuttle program. Leveraging SkyWater’s...

A team of researchers affiliated with MIT School of Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, and Analog Devices have collaborated to design a tiny application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) to defend against power-based side-channel attacks on an IoT device. Before getting into the...

Efabless has launched a 100% open-source FPGA chip CLEAR, built on Caravel - an open-source ASIC platform provided as a base (SoC) and offering an end-to-end open design, right down to the CPU core. The explanation of the product is simple and quite relatable to the maker's community -...

OAX8000 is an automotive ASIC optimized for dedicated DMS (Driver Monitoring Systems). The ASIC comes with a stacked-die architecture with multiple layers of ICs that offers on-chip DDR3 SDRAM memory (1GB). It also features a fast AI video processor with CNN (Convolutional Neural...

With an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), creating HDMI video signals for full HD monitors or HDTVs using a typical modern MCU is difficult but it is not an impossible task. For a resolution as high as 1080p, Full HD Monitors or High Definition Televisions require a pixel...

Single board computers are not a new wonder anymore and the market has already experienced so many different devices based on numerous SoC and SOM. So, why should we be excited this time about the launch of a  $150 “Coral Dev Board”? Well, there are multiple reasons - but the most...
