The SoC design: What’s next for NoCs?
Today’s high-end system-on-chips (SoCs) rely heavily on sophisticated network-on-chip (NoC) technology to achieve performance and scalability. As the demands of artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), and other compute-intensive applications continue to evolve, designing the next generation of SoCs will require even smarter and more efficient NoC solutions to meet these challenges. Although these advancements…

Three Approaches To Amplify Your Design Projects — Smashing Magazine
There are many ways to elevate a design project from good to incredible. For web and product designers, it’s not just about adding more animations and flair. What it truly comes down to is a reframing of your thought processes starting before the project even kicks off. Olivia De Alba presents three approaches that designers…
Power Tips #136: Design an active clamp circuit for rectifiers at a high switching frequency
Introduction In vehicle electrical systems, a high- to low-voltage DC/DC converter is a reversible electronic device that changes the DC from the vehicle’s high-voltage (400 V or 800 V) battery to a lower DC voltage (12 V). These converters can be unidirectional or bidirectional. Power levels from 1 kW to 3 kW are typical, with…
