The challenge for designers is to find ways of providing high levels of security in low-cost devices that have become worthwhile targets because of their role as gateways to more valuable information.

The assumption has been that extra security eats into profit margins. But with some lateral thinking it can actually improve the bottom line.

Using USB Type-C connectors to combine both USB-C 3.1 and DisplayPort data streams, to support data, audio, video and power connections on a single port

High level synthesis (HLS) was adopted to realize innovative display IP as developed by a small core engineering team.

Using VESA's Display Stream Compression (DSC) standard to enable visually lossless performance and low latency for ultra-high-definition displays.

CCIX is a cache coherency protocol, based on PCI Express, for interconnecting high-performance heterogenous multiprocessing systems.

Quadrupling the performance of a dedicated CNN engine within an embedded vision processing core brings more complex graph processing within reach.

SoC developers who want to use USB Type-C in their designs will have to implement HDCP 2.2 content protection so that the target devices will be able to play protected content.

The increasing complexity of human-machine interfaces is challenging processor designers to produce the necessary performance within a limited power budget

The rising bandwidth demands of data centres have driven the development of 25G Ethernet, which will also form a pathway to 100G.
