At Rambus, we create cutting-edge semiconductor and IP products, providing industry-leading chips and silicon IP to make data faster and safer.
MADISON, Wis. — Since last summer, automakers in Detroit have been losing sleep over two vexing issues: Over-the-Air (OTA) software/firmware updates and cyber-security for connected cars.
First, OTA is a big unknown to carmakers who have traditionally depended on service visits to dealerships for software updates. Only a few automakers have OTA update capabilities, and only Tesla can remotely update all safety-critical systems on its entire fleet.
The running joke is that when a headline begs a question, the answer is, quite simply, “No.” However, when the question is multi-layered, wrought with dependencies that stretch across an entire supply chain, user bases, and device range, and across companies in the throes of their own economic and production uncertainties, a much more nuanced answer is required. Although Moore’s Law is not technically dead yet, organizations from the IEEE to individual device makers are already thinking their way out of a box that has held the semiconductor industry neatly for decades. However, it turns out, that thought process is complicated just as much by technical challenges as it is by economic barriers.
India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA), the premier industry body representing the Indian Electronic System Design & Manufacturing (ESDM) industry today announced its new Executive Council for the year 2016-17. Mr K. Krishna Moorthy, Corporate VP and Managing Director, Rambus Chip Technologies (I) Pvt Ltd who was earlier the Vice Chairman for 2015-16, has taken over the role of Chairman for 2016-17. Mr. Ashwini K Aggarwal Director – Govt. Affairs, Applied Materials India Pvt. Ltd. would be the new Vice Chairman of IESA and Mr Anilkumar Muniswamy, Director, SLN Technologies Pvt. Ltd will serve as the new Treasurer.

White paper explains a real, working HBM/2.5D supply chain
San Jose, California — April 19, 2016 — SK hynix, Amkor Technology, eSilicon, Northwest Logic and Avery Design Systems have co-authored a white paper discussing High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) designs implemented with 2.5D technology.
HBM is a JEDEC-defined standard that utilizes 2.5D technology to interconnect an SoC and an HBM memory stack. Many companies are already using HBM to create very high-bandwidth, low-power products. This white paper presents a complete HBM supply chain that is delivering and supporting customer HBM designs now.
This informative HBM design white paper, as well as a video of the companion webinar, is now available online.

A new report published by Research and Markets projects that the Internet of Things (IoT) security market will increase from $6.89 billion in 2015 to $28.90 billion by 2020. “With the technological advancement and increasing application of networking, the concern for security has become a global phenomenon and its intensity is increasing every day,” the researchers explained in a report summary.
May 31, 2016 TOKYO– Toshiba Corporation’s (TOKYO: 6502) Storage & Device Solutions Company announced today the immediate availability of PCI Express *1 and DDR3 SDRAM *2 IP subsystems *3 developed in conjunction with Northwest Logic, a leading provider of high-performance, easy-to-use, silicon-proven PCI Express and Memory Interface IP cores. These subsystems are available on custom LSI platforms, including ASIC and FFSATM *4.
The PCI Express cores include standard-compliant, full-featured PCI Express 3.0/2.1/1.1 Cores and high-performance, scatter-gather DMA *5 Cores and Drivers (Linux® & Windows®). The DDR3 SDRAM Controller Core provides high-bandwidth support with a full set of optional add-on cores which include ARM® AMBA® AXI *6, multi-port, reordering *7, ECC *8 and memory test support.
“We are excited to collaborate with Toshiba to provide complete PCI Express and DDR3 SDRAM controller + PHY IP subsystems for the Toshiba FFSA™ and ASIC platforms. These pre-verified IP subsystems enable chip designers to quickly create high-performance, high-complexity SOC designs,” said Brian Daellenbach, CEO of Northwest Logic.
