Look-Up Tables (LUTs) are one of the fundamental building blocks used inside Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) to implement digital logic. A LUT stores predefined output values for every possible combination of its input signals, allowing an FPGA to reproduce Boolean logic functions without requiring a dedicated physical circuit for every operation. When an FPGA design…

Renesas has launched its first family of 100V enhancement-mode GaN power transistors, targeting AI servers, humanoid robots, factory automation and industrial motor drives. The October 6 release expands the company’s GaN portfolio into lower-voltage power stages where switching speed, efficiency and compact size matter most. The four new REXGaN devices span roughly 5 mΩ down…

Mueon has raised $65 million in Series A funding to move its Cubelets architecture toward broader validation and production readiness for AI and hyperscale infrastructure. Cubelets are modular 3D building blocks that combine compute, memory, interconnect, power delivery and thermal management into a denser system-level package. That approach fits the same broader trend BitcoinVersus.Tech has…

NAND vs NOR flash explained: compare architecture, random access, execute-in-place, density, endurance, erase behavior, controllers, SSDs and firmware storage.
-
SEALSQ is bringing NIST-standard post-quantum cryptography into secure elements, TPMs and custom ASIC designs aimed at connected devices, servers and industrial systems.
-
SRAM vs DRAM explained: compare cell design, speed, density, refresh, latency, power, cost, cache, system memory and why modern processors need both.
-
ASIC vs FPGA explained: compare reconfigurability, performance, power, latency, RTL design flow, tape-out cost, unit economics and why Bitcoin mining moved from FPGAs to ASICs.
