To USB or Not to USB

USB 4.0 – Coming Soon

Behind-the-Scenes of the Universe’s First USB 3.2 Demonstration

An explanation of the USB Video Class (UVC)

eUSB2 for Lower Voltage Processes and Lower Power

From a Galaxy Far, Far Away (or More Like 2015 ish) The USB-IF anticipated that process nodes would advance to a point where the USB 2.0 standard of 3.3V signally wouldn’t work anymore. Or rather, the IO voltages in advanced process nodes don’t support generating or receiving 3.3V for signaling.

Synopsys Embedded Vision EV IP and Robot Farmers

CES featured lots of automotive, AI and robotic innovation. To function in the real world the devices need sensors, and really vision sensors gathering all sorts of “visual” data. This can really include lots

USB 3.2 University, The Foldable Phone, and International Standards

USB 3.2 University

Welcome to the Chip Battle Royale: HDMI vs. DisplayPort (or USB Type-C). Who Will Win?

I love these kinds of questions It’s like asking if California has the best sunsets or places like Beijing or Kyoto or Seoul or Bangalore do. Which city has your favorite sunset?

Behind the Scenes: The Universe’s First DisplayPort 1.4Tx IP Solution (Probably) (Certified Too!)

Hey USB and DisplayPort fans!

USB Trends – Type-C everywhere

Artificial Intelligence and USB, mostly AI

Artificial Intelligence embedded in a car in an Embedded Vision (EV) system or a in the cloud (on a server rack) have common requirements

Synopsys Portfolio of ASIL ready IP for Automotive

Automotive is a big thing these days. All the stuff needed for cars needs to have a long life, and be super fault tolerant. It needs to last for years. Many of the chips ship for 5-10 years for replacements or in multiple model years. (My guess is this may change as better modules become available. It may be possible to upgrade your cars EV (Embedded Vision) module every year or few years to enable better and better recognition, even if the drive train is the same.

But why? The deal with USB 3.2

About

Covering the latest trends and topics in USB IP.

Eric started working on USB in 1995, starting with the world’s first BIOS that supported USB Keyboards and Mice while at Award Software. After a departure into embedded systems software for real-time operating systems, he returned to USB IP cores and software at inSilicon, one of the leading suppliers of USB IP. In 2002, inSilicon was acquired by Synopsys and he’s been here since. He also served as Chairman of the USB On-The-Go Working Group for the USB Implementers Forum from 2004-2006.

Eric received an M.B.A. from Santa Clara University and an M.S. in Engineering from University of California Irvine, and a B.S. in Engineering from the University of Minnesota. and is a licensed Professional Engineer in Civil Engineering in the State of California.
