The manufacturing process of chips has been continuously evolving, and today, this digit measured in nanometers has entered the single-digit era. While this “shrinkage” at one end has triggered an “increase” at the other end, namely the integration level and the increasingly complex power consumption schemes and power supply systems, the testing costs of chips … Read more
Follow andstar our public account to not miss exciting content Source:ittbank Edited by: strongerHuangFPGA has been touted as a replacement for ASIC for over a decade by FPGA manufacturers. However, both FPGA and ASIC have their own territories and continue to thrive. What are the differences between these two technologies? 1. Introduction FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate … Read more
Since the emergence of ChatGPT at the end of 2022, followed by the hundred-model battle in 2023, and the recent releases of GPT-4.5 by OpenAI, Grok3 by xAI, Claude 3.7 Sonnet by Anthropic, and Llama4 by Meta, the iteration speed of large models has been accelerating. In China, there has been a surge in open-source … Read more
Key Trends Driving the Demand for Sensor FusionSensor fusion refers to the combination of data from multiple sensors to obtain more complete and accurate results. By utilizing information provided by various sensors, better environmental awareness can be achieved. For instance, humans can understand their surroundings by combining information collected from various “sensors” (eyes, ears, nose, … Read more

A few days ago, Lightcounting released a table regarding the trends in DSP chips. To provide some context, a few years ago, when 200G optical modules were just starting to ramp up, the DSP market, which emerged alongside PAM4, began to grow rapidly. In contrast to the slower growth of the coherent module market, the … Read more
