In 2019, we saw one of the largest single computer chips manufactured by a California-based AI startup, Cerebras, that unveiled the Wafer-Scale Engine for deep learning applications. The 1.2 trillion transistors-packed Wafer-Scale Engine came with 18GB of on-chip SRAM and an interconnect speed of 100 Pb/s (Petabytes per Second). After two years of development, the manufacturer has launched […]
With the increase in demand for wearable electronic devices, the need for flexible, thin, and compact electronic circuits also arises. Wearable devices and many other sophisticated systems need sensors that can be attached to various kinds of surfaces or substrates. Therefore, it is necessary for the sensors to be flexible and also hold the same
A UK startup is to ship its first 1200V power devices using a new silicon architecture called Bizen that fits into TO247 or TO263 packages. by Nick Flaherty @ eenewseurope.com The first devices to use the Bizen process technology include three parts rated at 1200V/75A, 900V/75A and 650V/32A, available in the industry-standard TO247 or TO263 power MOSFET packages. These are
