STMicroelectronics has extended the certification of its ST8500 G3-PLC (Power-Line Communication) Hybrid communication chipset, now covering the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) band plan from 10 to 490kHz. This is in addition to the CENELEC-A 9kHz-95kHz European band. The move enables higher data rates, enhances design flexibility, and eases end-product approval in accordance with specific national regulations.…

Routers, switches, and line cards need higher bandwidth, port density, and up to 800-gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connectivity to handle escalating data-center traffic driven by 5G, cloud services and artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applications. To deliver the higher bandwidth, these designs need to overcome the signal integrity challenges associated with the industry’s transition…

Samsung Electronics, a provider in advanced memory technology, recently showcased its latest advancements with processing-in-memory (PIM) technology at Hot Chips 33 — a semiconductor conference where the most notable microprocessor and IC innovations are unveiled each year. Samsung’s revelations include the first successful integration of its PIM-enabled high-bandwidth memory (HBM-PIM) into a commercialized accelerator system.…

Intel processors are currently the most widely deployed compute architecture in the world’s supercomputers, enabling global medical discoveries and scientific breakthroughs. At the ISC event,…

Primary requirements for any wireless mode of communication include high quality of service and data secrecy. Realizing that these two factors are to be fulfilled in the most optimized ways without the costs going too high, CDMA, a spread spectrum based technology came into existence. Initially restricted to the armed forces, this technology was commercially launched in 1995 by Qualcomm Telecommunications and now, as per Q4 of the year 2011, CDMA has over 8 billion voice and data customers in the 122 countries that it operates. CDMA is regarded as an improvement over GSM technology whose need can be easily understood by taking a simple example. Consider 5 couples that have their respective partners in different rooms. The partners are permitted to communicate only to each other and each is provided with a communication instrument for the purpose.
