🗞 Electronic News! 🗞 Joe Costello, the former CEO of Cadence Design Systems, has made headlines once again by selling his latest EDA startup, Metrics Design Automation. Founded in Canada in 2017, Metrics has developed a revolutionary digital SystemVerilog and VHDL simulator that is available for free on desktops. The company's unique business model involves offering a cloud-based version of the simulator, allowing for scalable simulations on multiple processors to accelerate the design process. Altair, a prominent player in the EDA industry, has announced plans to integrate Metrics' DSim simulator with its Silicon Debug Tools. This strategic move aims to make high-quality EDA design tools more affordable and accessible to companies seeking to enhance their design cycles through accelerated simulations. The financial details of the acquisition deal have not been disclosed, but industry experts anticipate significant benefits for both parties. #electricalengineering #electronics #embedded #embeddedsystems #electrical #computerchips Follow us on LinkedIn to get daily news: HardwareBee - Electronic News and Vendor Directory

Big moves in AI infrastructure! Xscape Photonics Inc has just raised $44M in a Series A led by IAG Capital Partners, with support from major players like NVIDIA, Cisco Investments, and others. This funding will supercharge Xscape Photonics Inc’s mission to reimagine the AI data center through its revolutionary ChromX photonics platform. Here’s why it matters: AI data centers are facing massive challenges with cost, power consumption, and scalability. XScape’s multi-color photonics technology promises to solve the “escape bandwidth” bottleneck, multiplying GPU bandwidth by 10X and slashing power consumption by 10X With this new funding, Xscape is ready to ramp up production of ChromX and completely transform the AI landscape. If they crack this scalability issue, they’ll be in a prime position to dominate AI data centers. Could solving the "escape bandwidth" problem be the key to unlocking the future of AI data centers?

CHECK THIS OUT! Its not just conductivity at room temperature, more importantly how stable is the conductivity (On Resistance) as the temperature rises. The ramifications on SWaP with the #IdealSwitch are huge. For applications that are dominated by conductivity, #CircuitBreaker, #EFuse, #Contactors etc this #Power #Switch technology by Menlo Micro is a game changer!

Leveraging analog IP for protection from side-channel attacks - Chris Morrison, Director of Product Marketing, Agile Analog Over the last decade there has been a significant rise in the frequency and severity of side-channel attacks (SCAs). This Agile Analog blog post outlines some examples of applications that could be impacted by voltage side-channel attacks and explains how agileVGLITCH, our voltage glitch detection solution, can help offer protection. Voltage side-channel attacks Voltage side-channel attacks involve unscrupulous individuals attempting to break into electronic systems by using glitching techniques. A successful SCA can expose sensitive data and place the SoC (System on Chip) at risk. The Agile Analog team has developed a voltage glitch detector IP (agileVGLITCH) that can be integrated into a SoC design to determine when such an attack is occurring and to enable counter-measures. This customizable IP block, along with Agile Analog's temperature glitch detector IP (agileTGLITCH) and clock attack monitor IP (agileCAM) work together to check vital parameters like voltage, temperature, and clock. Changes, such as supply voltage fluctuations or power supply manipulation, might signal an attack on the chip. In this situation, a digital alarm will alert the SoC's processor. https://lnkd.in/g6_TJJ7F
