Changing the paradigm
NEW ELECTRONICS. Innovating in semiconductors is seen as being a critical component of the UK’s Tech Strategy, as Scott White explains. PragmatIC’s unique technology can expand and enable the UK to play an increasingly central role in the globally important semiconductor supply chain.
RFID challenges
ELECTRONICS WEEKLY. RFID and novel flexible electronics could bring inventory improvements for FMCGs (fast moving consumer goods) and low-cost, high-volume items, plus offer sustainability benefits, says Dr Brian Cobb from PragmatIC Semiconductor.
Flexible 6502 takes us back to the future
EE TIMES. PragmatIC Semiconductor is taking us back to the future. First the company embedded an Arm Cortex-M0 on a flexible substrate. Now the company has gone back further back in time, producing a flexible version of the iconic 6502 processor.
Flexible microprocessor could enable an 'Internet of Everything'
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN PODCAST. Researchers from PragmatIC Semiconductor and Arm have developed a microprocessor built on high-performance plastic rather than silicon—and they say it could enable smarter food labels and supply chain management.
