Reconfigurable Multi-Standard Wireless Transceiver in 40nm CMOS
imec, Renesas Technology, and M4S announced a complete transceiver with RF, baseband, and data converter circuits in 40nm low-power CMOS. The fully reconfigurable transceiver is compatible with various wireless standards and applications, including the upcoming mobile broadband 3GPP-LTE standard. In a next phase of imec’s ‘green radio’ research program, the focus will be on further [...]
Imec and Holst Centre Debut ADC with 30fJ Energy per Conversion Step
imec and Holst Centre announced an ultra-low power 8 bit analog to digital convertor (ADC) that consumes only 30fJ energy per conversion step. The ADC is ideal for upcoming low energy radios in the ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) radio bands such as low-energy Bluetooth or IEEE 802.15.6 for body-area networks.
Analog Signal Processor for Ambulatory Heart Signal Monitoring Systems
imec and Holst Centre announced an analog-signal processor (ASP) ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) that reduces the overall power consumption of an ambulatory heart activity signal monitoring systems by more than 5 times. This breakthrough is a major step towards constant ambulatory monitoring of people using energy harvesting, which increases the comfort level of patients and [...]
Intel Architecture White Papers
Why Intel Architecture is Right for your Embedded Application “Make” versus “buy” is a complex business decision faced by all embedded system Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Expediency, time-to-market challenges, upfront hardware development costs, and the broad availability and breadth of commercial solutions frequently tilt the scale in favor of using proven, off-the-shelf products. The top-to-bottom [...]
ADRES Processor Architecture for Dynamically Reconfigurable Embedded Systems
IMEC announced the second generation of their ADRES processor architecture (architecture for dynamically reconfigurable embedded systems). ADRES now supports multithreading, and has doubled its performance and energy efficiency compared to the first ADRES generation. This positions ADRES as a building block for future 4G devices. ADRES can be licensed from IMEC and is targeted at [...]
VDC Embedded Real-Time and Mobile Application OS Research
According to VDC Research Group’s research report on Embedded/Real-Time & Mobile Application OSs, the challenging economic climate has led to a more cautious embedded systems development approach. Previously, engineering staffs would have made more of the software purchasing decisions. Now the process has become more controlled and process-oriented. As a result of reduced engineering resources, [...]
Embedded Processor Market
According to VDC’s Embedded Systems Practice, embedded processor unit shipments in 2008 were over 10 billion in the year ended 2008. Embedded processor categories included embedded CPUs, DSPs, FPGAs, and MCUs. The vast majority of this embedded processor market are microcontrollers, which are low-cost autonomous embedded processing units used in embedded applications that have lower-end [...]
Embedded Software Engineering Market Statistics
VDC Research’s Embedded Systems Market Statistics reports offer a detailed, vertical-by-vertical analysis of key embedded industries. The provides estimates for the Total Market for Embedded Software Engineering (TMESE), which VDC believes represents more than $25 billion worldwide. The TMESE calculation stems from recent upgrades to VDC’s Embedded Systems Market Statistics Model. This model also provides [...]
