What is said to the largest and most comprehensive online semiconductor database has been unveiled by Chipworks. Called Inside Technology, the database gives access to Chipworks’ analysis of thousands of devices and technologies. The web portal is said to streamline the user’s ability to find competitive differentiators, as well as to match patents to products.
Peter Hanschke, director of product marketing, said: “The Software as a Service based product allows customers to search and analyse technical data.
“If you’re interested in patent infringements, it provides evidence of use and you can find out where else the technology has been used. Those interested in competitive analysis can find out which companies have won sockets in various products.”
There is also, potentially, application in anticounterfeiting. “In our of our latest teardowns,” Hanschke noted, “we took apart a drone and found markings on one of the components had been laser etched away.”
Inside Technology, which is updated daily, provides access to technical data of more than 16,000 devices, including teardown reports, schematics, die marketing and die photos.
