PROGRAMMING FOR FUTURE

With records of all sorts being broken in the semiconductor industry in 2017, the signs for the end of the decade are promising. The top ten semiconductor R&D spenders padded their budgets with 6 percent on average compared to 2016. DRAM and NAND demand, as well as price, skyrocketed, enabling the semiconductor industry as a whole break $400 billion for the first time. With demand looking unlikely to diminish anytime soon, the major players in this industry are ramping up their production capability, with wafer capacities projected to grow by 8 percent per annum in 2018 and 2019.
On the vehicle front, 2030 looks set to be a target year for governments that mean business, and business of course means phasing out fossil-fueled vehicles. With development cycles of around five years not uncommon in the world of passenger cars, it's a good thing that the ball is already rolling. Component suppliers are welcoming the push for autonomous vehicles, with a flurry of activity in ADAS development seeing new solutions and market actors being announced almost weekly, as are new AI and machine learning chips.
Elsewhere in the supply chain, car giants are fighting with consumer electronics manufacturers over cobalt contracts of their own to ensure an adequate supply of raw materials for their battery packs. With the raw material having tripled in price in the last eighteen months, developments are sure to make their mark on EVs, as they command closer to ten kilograms of cobalt per finished product, whereas a typical smartphone battery requires less than ten grams. The gist of it is that revenues are yet again on the rise, as cobalt is absolutely essential. “Cobalt prices are unstable due to speculators on the market, but we're not going to let that stop us,” commented a battery solutions director for a vehicle manufacturer EE Times spoke to.
Everywhere you look, ten-, eleven- and occasionally even twelve-figure USD sums are being invested, offered, turned down, and as if to spice things up, fines of the same magnitude are being issued. In other words, records are being set left, right and
center, and Asia is where the main developments happen. While Japan, Korea and Taiwan are meandering on their traditional paths in semiconductors, China is aiming to cut itself a piece of the world market by means of colossal state investment funds earmarked for stimulating its national production of ICs.
In spite of all this progress, Asia is still an emerging market with huge growth potential for the foreseeable future. Electric vehicles, industrial automation, IoT products, security systems and drones will continue to drive the market forward, with strong regional demand among both consumers as well as in the manufacturing sector.
Component and sensor supplier Bourns echoes this sentiment better than most companies EET has spoken to. With a firm foothold in the automotive market, and with the Asian markets accounting for “over 40 percent” of its total business, Bourns

sees an annual “steady growth [of] about 10 percent every year, and we have really good result[s] and even 25 percent growth in China last year,” it commented. While not specifying which of its segments are carrying the bulk of the company's growth in Asia, Bourns is set to focus on China, Japan and India in 2018.
Thanks to the rapid development of IoT and wireless control industry, the demand of RF ICs is on the rise. Taiwan-based IC design house Holtek Semiconductor highlights continuous improvement of IC technology, enabling ever-increasing RF transmission efficiency, at reduced power consumption. Main developments in low-power wireless are mainly happening at sub-1GHz and 2.4GHz, as driven by IoT applications.
Another RF IC supplier, AMICCOM, indicates that sub-1GHz RF ICs have very low power consumption on the receiver side, making it especially suitable for electronic toll collection and smart metering where wired power often isn't available. Furthermore,
the 2.4GHz technology can pair low power consumption with long transmission range, making it suitable for applications such as remote controls, toys, helicopters, drones, wireless audio, as well as home automation and security products.
Lastly, in the making of this introductory article, we've had a word with Mouser, distributor of all things electronics. It is obviously in a quite unique position to give us an insight of the Asian markets and especially strong growth is seen in Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia, with over 60% growth each over the last year. Looking forward, Mouser is aiming to increase its head count in Asia, to “provide more localized service by region and deepen our engagement with manufacturers,” it commented in a written statement.
All stats and data point toward strong continued growth on the Asian markets, and we're of course excited to be part of the coverage on your behalf. Perhaps fittingly, we can round off this article with one final quote to sum up the general picture of the market, yet again from the Texan giant distributor Mouser: “APAC accounts for 24% of our global business. We expect to see [even] stronger growth in the following years.”

Getting to IoT Ubiquity: Cellular Versus LPWAN ConnectivityConnectivity is one of the most frustrating aspects to tackle for designers of IoT networks. At the “edge” where sensors communicate with each other, there are multiple, mostly incompatible, competing standards.From the edge to the Internet and cloud there are only two: Wireless carriers and Low-Power Wide Area networks (LPWANs) in competition.
Micromodules Redefine DC/DC Power RegulatorsDesigning a basic, fairly good direct current to direct current (DC/DC) power regulator, sometimes called a power converter or supply, is not hard using today’s components, reference designs, tools, and resources. The designer simply has to combine a suitable controller integrated circuit (IC), metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and their drivers, and some passives, and the design is all done, in theory, to convert and regulate a DC input voltage while also providing DC output voltage (Figure 1).
WISPs Bring High-Speed Internet Access to the HinterlandsIn urban areas, cable and fiber technologies compete fiercely for customers’ broadband, phone, and entertainment services. Broadband download speeds greater than 100Mbs are available along with more channels than any single person could take advantage of.
Power Management: Heat Challenges SolvedWhen electrical engineers use the phrase “power management,” most of us tend to think about the various DC power rails via assorted converters, regulators, and other power-handling and power-transforming functions. However, there is much more to power management than just those functions. All power sources give off heat due to inefficiency, and all components must dissipate some heat.

Chatbots: Audio, AI, & Machine Learning This Christmas, one of my daughters got a family game called Hearing Things™, which we all played with many laughs. It’s a variation of the “Whisper Challenge” that has gone viral: One person wears headphones that not only block hearing but also make random noises. Another person faces the person in the headphones and reads from a card a random phrase, such as “Pigeons like to cuddle.” Then, without other cues or clues, the player wearing the headphones must decipher the phrase by reading lips only.
IEEE 802.11ax Will Save Wi-Fi from Itself If the success of a technology is judged by how many people use it, Wi-Fi surely ranks high on the list of the most successful technologies of all time. It’s so successful, in fact, that the airwaves have become massively populated with Wi-Fi signals in many places to the point that establishing or maintaining a Wi-Fi connection is sometimes impossible. And it’s not just in stadiums and airports where many people congregate but in homes packed with Wi-Fi-enabled devices.
Creating a Wearable Heart Rate MonitorIn recent years, the use of wearable devices has exploded across multiple markets, in large part because of their convenience and the plethora of information they can provide. Activity trackers such as Samsung’s Gear Fit2, medical devices like the Qardio® Arm blood pressure cuff, and even Under Armor’s UA SpeedForm® Gemini 3 Record-Equipped shoes are just a few examples. These devices can provide users with a variety of feedback, including sleep quality, VO2 levels, activity levels, and walking and running cadence, among other data points.
