The Rise of Software-Defined Vehicles: How Infineon is Driving Automotive Innovation with World’s First LPDDR Flash

by Amelia Dalton

How about an automotive themed Fish Fry podcast to start your Friday? My guest this week is Sandeep Krishnego from Infineon and we are investigating the world’s first LPDDR flash memory. We investigate the benefits of this new memory solution and how it will drive innovation in the next generation of automotive designs. Also this week, I check out a hidden culprit found in automotive emissions. (Spoiler Alert: it’s not coming out of the tailpipe.)

The Role of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Electronic Design

Sponsored by Cadence Design Systems

In this video, we talk to Paul Cunningham, Senior VP and GM at Cadence, about the transformative role of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) in electronic designs. We discuss the transformative period we are experiencing with AI and ML and how Cadence is revolutionizing how we design and verify chips through “computationalizing intuition” and building intuitive systems that learn and adapt to the world around them. With human lives at stake, reliability, and safety are paramount.

Meet UVVM: The World’s #1 VHDL Verification Methodology
Hi Max, Yes, Jim is correct. VHDL is in fact used in more than 50% of all FPGA projects, and the survey clearly shows that VHDL is also the leading HDL for FPGA verification. I would assume that verification methodologies/libraries like UVVM and OSVVM are contributing to the strong position ...
