A negligible delay from video capture to display—the “glass-to-glass” latency—is critical for many video streaming applications, from advanced driver assistant systems (ADAS) and unmanned vehicles to video conferencing and broadcasting.

The next phase of the IoT is about to start and what most distinguishes it from the first is clever design and using the right IP.

A paper, slides, and presentation video discussing how lossless data compression—with CAST's ZipAccel GZIP IP cores—can save significant energy in IOT applications.

Lossless compression via hardware GZIP iP can reduce connectivity and energy requirements for IoT and other Internet devices.

The phrase “IoT” for Internet of Things has exploded to cover a wide range of different applications and diverse devices with very different requirements. Most observers, however, would agree that low energy consumption is a key element for IoT, as...

IAR Systems today is announcing that support for the 8051 MCUs we offer is built into their latest release of the Embedded Workbench for 8051.

CAST announces a new member of the 32-bit BA2x Processor Family: The BA20 PipelineZero Embedded Processor.

Designers describe their uses of 8051s as CAST introduces the fastest 8051 IP core available.

Hal Barbour talks about joining CAST in 1999.

In the video world, latency is the amount of time between the instant a frame is captured and the instant that frame is displayed. Low latency is a design goal for any system where there is real-time interaction with the video content, such as video...

CPU Subsystem Total Power Consumption: Understanding the Factors and Selecting the Best IP- View the audio/video recording from the CAST webinar

Power consumption and area are commonly considered in choosing an embedded SoC processor, but the role of the processor’s instruction set architecture (ISA) code density can be more significant, yet is often overlooked.

8051 microcontrollers still offer an efficient and effective alternative to 32-bit processors in products ranging from USB thumb drives to washing machines to complex wireless-communication SOCs.

CAST president Hal Barbour spoke during the IP-SoC Day, a series of talks organized by D&R at the 49th DAC in San Francisco.

System integrators and product designers can jump ahead of their competition by selecting high-quality, easy-to-reuse IP cores from reliable vendors with a track record of good support.

CAST held a successful 32-bit system design seminar over breakfast adjacent to DesignCon.
