GlobalFoundries takes aim at TSMC’s customers in patent action
GlobalFoundries is calling for imports of chips fabbed by TSMC into the US and Germany in multiple actions based on a list of 16 patents.
IEDM shows progress on embedded eMRAM
Embedded magnetic RAM is emerging as a contender for on-chip memory not just from a density standpoint but from that of power.
With RF, power and MRAM, FD-SOI finds its role
FD-SOI is gradually building up a presence as a technology not just for low-power but RF and power integration.
Bulk transistor design aims for near-threshold power cuts
Semiwise, a startup founded by University of Glasgow professor Asen Asenov and former CEO of Gold Standard Simulations (GSS), has developed a low-power CMOS transistor technology suitable for ultralow-power sensor nodes.
Microsemi takes flash FPGAs to 28nm
Microsemi has launched a family of non-volatile FPGAs that use a 28nm process to increase density over the previous SmartFusion devices.
Menta launches fourth-generation embedded FPGA core
Menta SAS has launched an embedded FPGA core family that improves density over previous versions.
IEDM keynote: cost scaling will swap architectural changes for area
According to ARM's Greg Yeric in his keynote at IEDM, even with cost improvements for multiple patterning, fewer designs will see the benefit of further silicon node scaling. Savings will come from design.
Menta aims for TSMC 28nm with embedded FPGA cores
Menta has launched a family of off-the-shelf IP cores aimed at TSMC’s 28nm processes to provide reconfigurability for SoCs.
GlobalFoundries tunes 28nm for smaller, lower-power FD-SOI
