One of the more exciting developments now happening in the high-tech world is the work being done to enable quantum computing. After decades of theoretical discussion and development, the last few years have shown tangible progress in this radically different (and enormously complex) new method of computing. Quantum computers essentially perform calculations by flipping the electrical charge of individual atoms and allowing them to simultaneously exist in more than one state through a process ca...

Quantum computing is no longer just a concept confined to research labs. Thanks to rapid progress in both hardware and algorithms, the risk to today’s cryptographic systems is steadily increasing. In 2025, Google’s 105-qubit Willow chip and Microsoft’s Majorana 1 processor demonstrated that scalable quantum systems are moving closer to practical reality. Industry experts now predict that quantum computers capable of breaking RSA-2048 encryption could arrive as early as 2030 to ...

Everyone, it seems, is now talking about how they’re planning to integrate AI into their devices, their factories, their workflows and, well, everything. But how they actually plan to make that happen isn’t always clear. Part of the challenge, of course, is that different workloads and different environments require different types of solutions. For those looking to integrate AI-powered capabilities into edge computing-based offerings, there are a relatively broad range of ways to ac...

Building and maintaining connected digital ecosystems that account for today’s evolving cyber threat landscape requires a degree of hardware-based trust, as software-only security approaches are no longer sufficient to protect complex, distributed systems Luckily, today’s developers can reference a foundational example of hardware-based security that has existed for decades: the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). With over four billion TPM units deployed globally across a wide range of u...

Human-machine interfaces (HMIs) are rapidly evolving, driven by trends such as Automotive personalization, sustainable always-on interfaces, hygienic touchless user interfaces (UI), consistent user experience (UX) across platforms, voice activation, and Industrial automation for labor and safety needs.

Robots have rapidly evolved from science fiction into a cornerstone of modern industry. Today’s autonomous systems can execute complex tasks with minimal human oversight – transforming how we work, live, and move. But achieving this level of intelligence and reliability in real-world environments requires more than just advanced software. It demands robust hardware, deterministic processing, and scalable system architectures that can support safe, real-time decision-making under dema...

Servers are the backbone of modern computing infrastructure. They host sensitive data, AI models, and core workloads – making them prime targets for increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. As server architectures become more modular and disaggregated, integrating various CPUs, NICs, accelerators, SCM modules, and more, and as organizations rely more heavily on these distributed systems, the complexity of securing these systems grows exponentially. Recent attacks – such as those e...

Edge AI is reshaping how machines interact with the world, bringing intelligence closer to the data source and enabling real-time, context-aware decision-making. In Automotive and Industrial environments, this shift is driving smarter sensors, automation, and enhanced Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI). But deploying AI at the edge comes with constraints: limited computing capacity, strict power budgets, and compact hardware footprints. In our latest LinkedIn Live panel discussion, Lattice expert...

In the past, Human Machine Interface (HMI) were relatively simple, consisting of buttons, knobs, levers, and static displays designed to control basic functions. Today, HMIs have evolved into sophisticated, context-aware systems that serve as the primary bridge between users and increasingly intelligent machines. Whether embedded in vehicles, Industrial equipment, consumer electronics, or smart infrastructure, modern HMIs must manage a growing array of tasks. These include real-time data vi...

Designing modern embedded systems often means working within tight constraints such as limited space, low power budgets, and increasing performance demands.
