An integrated circuit at 0.25-micron design rules contains about 800 meters of wire interconnect, draining 50 percent of the power consumed by the circuit. When 0.01-micron chips emerge, they will ...

Looking to overcome the limitations of on chip connection technology, scientists at Eindhoven University of Technology have created a nano-LED that is said to be 1000 times more efficient than its ...

Vodafone French Polynesia was launched in the beautiful South Pacific islands on the 17th June 2013. As part of the deployment, the Polynesian network was understandably looking to deliver ...

Digital integrated circuit interconnects have characteristics that must be considered as an integral part of the design process. SoC designers can't be fully decoupled from the manufacturing process.

The GSM industry may at last be moving towards solving one of its most intractable problems as a Federal High Court last week in Abuja told MTN pointedly that it couldn't be treated differently in the ...

The semiconductor industry faces enormous challenges in virtually every field. Thanks to a recent advance in interconnect technology from Applied Materials, we should manage to squeeze a few more ...

Intel has launched a new interconnect technology that it says will allow organisations to build bigger clusters with improved performance. The technology, called Intel Connects Cables, enables ...

Moving data around is probably the least interesting aspect of system design, but it is one of three legs that defines the key performance indicators (KPI) for a system. Computation, memory, and ...

LIKE Nigeria, interconnection problem is a source of worry for telecommunications operators and subscribers in Ghana. The country has about five operators with one of them offering both GSM and fixed ...

Programmable logic will soon be implemented in “3D” chip designs if the claims of California firm Tabula are realised in silicon. The company is developing programmable logic devices based on a new ...

As many big businesses will confirm, having multiple cloud systems on board can often be a major headache, particularly when it comes to interoperability. AWS is looking to solve these issues with a ...
