White Paper It discusses measurement techniques, stability guidelines, and loop bandwidth considerations for a range of manufacturers and integrated circuits (ICs), with emphasis on the new ICs developed recently. [03 Jul 2008]
IBM in a sticky situation with chips and glue
News IBM is tinkering with a new material that could drastically slash the costs of "drawing" circuits on semiconductors, using a substance which is a close relative to tennis shoe glue. The resulting hexagonal pattern then... [08 Dec 2003]
HP to unveil nanotech breakthrough
News In the company's vision, layers of molecular strands, laid down in a crisscross fashion, will form a mesh of tiny, intelligent circuits. In 1999 and 2000, HP and UCLA announced they had created new molecules that could... [09 Sep 2002]
Moore's Law no more?
Comment And I looked at what had happened for the first few [years] in integrated circuits and extrapolated it for the next 10," he says. We're still some way from needing transistors smaller than atoms, but research is already... [18 Oct 2001]
Intel outlines latest breakthroughs with silicon
News Intel will try to further cut power consumption in its next generation of chips by using improved strained silicon, along with transistors that block power to other circuits and other added features.... [31 Aug 2004]
Moore's Law to roll on for another decade
News Progress in lithography, the science of "drawing" circuits on chips, will also have to be made. Another decade is probably straightforward," Moore said, speaking at the International Solid-States... [11 Feb 2003]
IBM to use DNA to shrink chip size
News While this improves the performance, producing smaller circuits has strained the financial and technical resources of the industry. The limits of lithography - used to "draw" circuits - have prompted... [21 Feb 2008]
Xilinx Spartan-II FIR Filter Solution
White Paper Alternatively, special-purpose, fixed function DSP chipsets and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) are used for high-performance applications. Traditionally, digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms are... [02 Mar 2004]
Using Xilinx FPGAs to Design Custom Digital Signal Processing Devices
White Paper Traditionally, digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms are most commonly implemented using general-purpose (programmable) DSP chips for low rate applications, or special-purpose (fixed function) DSP chip-sets and... [20 Apr 2004]
Big Blue to unwrap extra-brainy chips
News The company plans to present the results of its research on using embedded DRAM during today's sessions at the International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), according to Subu Iyer, distinguished engineer and... [14 Feb 2007]
The Standards are Changing in an Emerging Bluetooth Market
White Paper In order to reach this goal, test times for radio modem integrated circuits (ICs) will have to be about 1.5 to 2 seconds. More and more functionality is being placed on smaller chips. In order to be... [12 Jun 2004]
Methods for Accurate Wirelength Estimation of Functional Circuitry in ULSI Chips
White Paper Although prior assessments of these models have separately considered the effects of these two factors (namely, circuitry type and Rent's rule), there does not exist an assessment for today's ULSI circuits that takes... [07 Apr 2005]
Computer Technology in Libraries
White Paper The same chip will contain both television and PC circuits, with considerable chip real estate left over. As the transistors on the support chips on the PC motherboards migrate onto the microprocessor... [25 Feb 2004]
CAS-BUS: A Scalable and Reconfigurable Test Access Mechanism for Systems on a Chip
White Paper These libraries of IP cores, either available in-house or commercialized on the market, are reused by embedding them into a single system chip, conceptually in the same way as integrated circuits were connected on PCBs. [25 Feb 2004]
Back to the drawing board for Intel roadmaps
News The circuits on chips have become so small, and the chips are consuming so much power, that it is becoming extremely difficult and expensive to keep the temperature inside PCs down.... [10 May 2004]
