They say you can’t do everything, and they’re right, whoever they are, but that doesn’t mean we have to like it. Two very promising conferences relevant to automotive electronics – telematics and sensors – are scheduled for the same days, June 6-7, about 300 miles apart.
In Novi, Michigan, the 12th Telematics Detroit conference and exhibition, sponsored by Telematics Update, is expected to … Read More

Freescale, Infineon, and STMicroelectronics made major chip announcements this week all focused on improving fuel economy and reducing emissions.
Freescale said its multicore Qorivva 32-bit MPC5676R MCU, built on Power Architecture® technology, provides four times the performance, double the memory space and more functionality than the previous-generation, single-core MPC5566 MCU. With two parallel … Read More

STMicroelectronics said this week that it will increase its MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) production capacity to more than three million sensors a day by the end of 2011 based on “exploding” demand from industrial, healthcare, and automotive customers.
Automotive applications for MEMS devices include airbags, navigation systems, electronic stability control, and tire pressure monitoring systems. … Read More

If you are going to DAC this year, then you must attend the 9th Annual ESL Symposium and not just because there is free lunch or you need the new Apple iPad 2. This year, Wally Rhines will moderate a very impressive panel line-up:
Gadi Singer - Intel
Vice President, Intel Architecture Group
General Manager, System-on-Chip Enabling Group
John Goodenough - ARM
Vice President of Design Technology and … Read More

“In recent times, ESL design methodologies have been the talk of the semiconductor design community and have found increasing acceptance. Most of the recent publications have given information on design flow needs and an high level overview of the (C/C++/SystemC) based high level synthesis design process using a small block level design scenario. Although productivity benefits for ESL methodologies … Read More

Good news for the industry: the DATE (Design, Automation, and Test in Europe) conference is back to growth. And perhaps it is not a surprise given that this year the event is being held in Grenoble. With its great views on the snowy Alps, Grenoble is emerging has the major hub of the electronic and semiconductor industry in Europe.
3D ICs, Low-power, ESL… The rich conference program covers all hot … Read More
