Chip Crisis in Danger Zone as Wait Times Reach New Record

May 21 2021

Chip lead times, the gap between ordering a chip and taking delivery, increased to 17 weeks in April, indicating users are getting more desperate to secure supply, according to research by Susquehanna Financial Group. That is the longest wait since the firm began tracking the data in 2017, in what it describes as the “danger zone.”

2020 semi market hit $473bn

May 07 2021

Both memory types returned to growth in 2020, with DRAM up 6.7%, NAND up 24.3%. MPU revenue, representing 14% of the entire semiconductor market, increased 12.4% in 2020 driven by laptop and desktop increases as people were forced to work and study from home. Analogue components, also representing nearly 14% of the semiconductor market, saw revenue increase 9% in 2020. The automotive semiconductor market struggled in 2020, experiencing an annual decline of 4.4%, as an initial drop in consumer demand all but stalled auto sales early on in 2020.

QSFP-DD800 MSA GROUP ANNOUNCES INITIAL HARDWARE SPECIFICATION

QSFP-DD800 MSA GROUP ANNOUNCES INITIAL HARDWARE SPECIFICATION

Apr 09 2021

The new QSFPDD800 1.0 specification is intended to be incremental to the existing QSFP-DD 5.0 specification. As signal integrity and thermal performance remain imperative, the transceiver pads have been optimized to improve signal integrity for 100 Gbps performance per lane without affecting backwards compatibility. The new specification additionally defines a novel 2×1 connector/cage, with cabled upper ports as an option to address signal loss issues associated with tradition PCBs.

Connector Industry Shows Resilience in a Year of Surprises

Mar 25 2021

The telecom/datacom market managed to achieve modest growth, spurred by two primary factors: increased internet activity as societies transitioned to online models of work, school, and social activities, which required new investments in infrastructure to support increased demand, as well as the continued drive towards 5G, which is creating steady demand for the equipment needed to support widespread activation of the latest generation of broadband.

Hyundai's new electric car has a solar panel roof and can charge other EVs

Mar 05 2021

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 has been officially announced, and this fully electric, mid-size CUV (crossover SUV) comes with a raft of tech as standard – and even more as options, including solar panels on its roof. Hyundai says that the solar panels can add up to 2,000km per year (around 5-6km per day) of additional range if it's driven in sunny environments such as Spain or the south of France. Another fun trick the Ioniq 5 has up its sleeve is the ability to charge other electric vehicles. If its battery level is above 15%, you can plug the new Hyundai into another electric car to charge it.

Coronavirus and 5G: New devices are coming, but will networks be ready?

Jun 15 2020

The two primary categories of 5G devices that are already in the marketplace are smartphones (“mobile 5G”) and home broadband modems (“fixed 5G”). Most currently available evidence points to uninterrupted releases of both sorts of devices this year, though some key products in each category are likely to arrive a little later than might have been expected.

Sep 13 2020

Many of us have experienced bandwidth limitations that restrict what we can do online, especially during times when many people are working from home. This has increased demand for 5G, which offers the increased speed and capacity required to accomplish compute-heavy internet-based business and leisure activities. 5G wireless networks will also present significant opportunities for transportation as vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technologies become part of our transportation and urban infrastructure.

Intel Considers What Was Once Heresy: Not Manufacturing Chips

Aug 27 2020

Intel Corp. Chief Executive Officer Bob Swan spent almost an hour on Thursday discussing an idea that would once have been unthinkable for the world’s largest semiconductor company: Not manufacturing its own chips. Outsourcing is the norm in the $400 billion industry nowadays, but for 50 years Intel has combined chip design with in-house production. And until recently, Intel was even planning to churn out processors for others.

With the increasing acceptance of contactless payments, quick response (QR) barcodes could see a resurgence in use among retailers. The technology has been around since the early ‘90s, but several factors have brands revisiting its use for marketing and payment solutions. For one, unlike encrypted smartphone wallets, QR has an advantage in allowing customers to view and use unique virtual code without downloading an app.

The Evolution of Cellular Communication Technology: 3G to 5G

The Evolution of Cellular Communication Technology: 3G to 5G

Jul 17 2020

To increase speed and system capacity, designers chose to utilize multiple higher-frequency bands, including millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies of up to 52.6GHz. The higher the frequency, the greater the signal distortion, due to attenuation over distance and through obstructions. Even heavy rain can reduce the effective range of mmWave transmission. In order to compensate for these losses, 5G cellular networks will require a major increase in the number of cellular antennas.
