MEMS

It's been a long time coming, but silicon photonics is now entering commercial design for networking and grabbing attention in autonomous driving and sensors.

Tanner's focus on AMS, MEMS and, now, the IoT-edge are making it even more ripe for integration with other Mentor tools.

Energy harvesting, mechanical reprogrammable logic, and genetic algorithms were among the finalists for the MEMS design competition.

Mentor will present seven papers during the ARMTech Con and a dedicated session, and exhibit at Booth #606.

DVCon Europe 2017 has announced two keynote speakers for the conference to be held in Munich, Germany in mid-October.

Attacks using sound can upset accelerometers and make them produce false motion signals.

IoT edge designs are being undertaken by multi-disciplinary teams that must work within the tightest of budgets.

The DATE 2016 conference saw the launch of a competition to encourage novel designs using MEMS technology.

Stability is the watchword as AMS and MEMS specialist Tanner retains much of its independence - a 'start-up with a billion-dollar company behind us'.

Following Mentor's acquisition of Tanner EDA, management expect the integration will help with a drive into IoT applications and systems that need to go beyond standard IC lithography.
