ASIC vs FPGA

  We live in a period of intense and concentrated technological change, so sometimes we lose awareness of how quickly things around us will change in the future.   If we consider the life-changing technologies that we interact with every day, many of these technologies probably only appeared on the market ten or twenty years ago. In the past two decades, mobile phones, computer hardware, and big data analytics have made great strides. Now these technologies are combined to support a new type of device that will completely change the way companies calculate: the Internet of Things (IoT). The Internet of Things device includes any computing device that can connect to the Internet or the cloud using wireless communication protocols to transmit or share data. In this blog post, we discuss the adoption and expansion of IoT that will affect technology in the future.   Now or Never   The IoT represents one of the strongest transformative influences on the ...

  Power System in Self Driving Vehicle A self-driving car (sometimes called an autonomous car or driverless car) is a vehicle that uses a combination of sensors, cameras, radar and artificial intelligence to travel between destinations without a human operator. To qualify as fully autonomous, a vehicle must be able to navigate without human intervention to a predetermined destination over roads that have not been adapted for its use.  Automated vehicles require sensors and computer processing that can perceive the surrounding environment and make real time decisions. These additional electrical loads expand the auxiliary load profile, therefore reducing the range of an automated electric vehicle compared to a standard electric vehicle. Furthermore, a fully automated vehicle must be fail-safe from sensor to vehicle control, thus demanding additional electrical loads due to redundancies in hardware throughout the vehicle. Self-driving vehicles employ a wide range of technologies...
