How will engineers design electronic products in the future?
Predicting the future is always risky, but it’s certainly going to be exciting! A few weeks ago, I was chatting with an electrical engineering student. It seems his class has…
New 3-phase Filters Meet IEC 60204-1 for Machine Applications
SCHURTER’s new 3-phase filters series FMBC EP and FMBD EP meet IEC 60204-1 for machine applications. The filters are suitable for 3-phase or 3-phase-with-neutral conductor applications. Downsized for smaller footprint,…
System design: Make sure you secure your data at rest (DAR)
Working with data is the point of a computer system in the first place, and securing that data has never been more important. Cybersecurity is like the old saying about…
Heterogeneous compute heralds a new era in chip verification
It is no longer sufficient to simulate analog and digital blocks separately in a “divide and conquer” approach. We are at a time when the computing performance benefits of Moore’s…
The latest weapon for designers against supply chain disruptions
The Spectra Electronic Design to Delivery Index (EDDI) helps designers overcome the component selection dilemma they’re facing due to supply chain interruptions. Printed circuit board (PCB) designers have a tough…
Designing through parts shortages
Is there anything worse than having a complete electronics design that can’t be built because one of its components has a 52-week lead time? I work for an electronics manufacturer.…
Edge AI SoCs get all the attention, but don’t forget the development tools
Edge AI SoCs get all the attention, but don’t forget the development tools. It seems everything is moving to the Edge. Product developers tout the ability to perform very sophisticated…
Thorough, exhaustive verification and validation of complex SoCs
Enterprise FPGA prototyping is being used to fill the gap between an emulator’s powerful analysis/debug capabilities and the raw performance of a desktop FPGA prototyping board. System-on-chip (SoC) designers are…
Designing Sustainable Energy Technology
Aided by appropriate semiconductor diodes and transistors, solar panels are leading the way among renewable energy sources. Over the past twenty years, sustainable energy has evolved significantly. Improvements in renewable…
FPGA-based single wire aggregation for FPGA and non-FPGA designers
SWA provides a way to reduce cost, reduce space, and increase the reliability of the system. Many of today’s electronic systems involve two or more printed circuit boards (PCBs). A…
