EE Times Current

In this episode of the Brains and Machines (http://brainsandmachines.net/) podcast, EE Times regular Sunny Bains (http://sunnybains.com/) talks to Dr Mitra Hartmann (https://robotics.northwestern.edu/people/profiles/faculty/hartmann-mitra.html), Professor of both Biomedical and Mechanical Engineering at Northwestern University, and head of their sensory and neural engineering group. They discuss the ways in which modelling animal perceptual systems—in her case, the rat—can make us better at both understanding the brain and building technology. After that, Sunny discusses the interview with Giulia D’Angelo (https://www.linkedin.com/in/giuliadangelo/) from the Italian Institute of Technology and Ralph Etienne-Cummings (https://engineering.jhu.edu/faculty/ralph-etienne-cummings/) from Johns Hopkins University.

In today's podcast, we hear from embedded.com editor in chief Nitin Dahad who attended the Industry 4.0 Summit in Porto, Portugal, interviewing executives handling manufacturing, operations and IT at Lam Research, Micron and Wolfspeed.

In this episode of Brains and Machines (http://brainsandmachines.net/), EE Times regular Sunny Bains (http://sunnybains.com/) talks to Elisabetta Chicca (https://www.rug.nl/research/zernike/bio-inspired-circuits-and-systems/chicca-group/?lang=en), head of the bio-inspired Circuits and Systems research group at the University of Groningen, about building neural chips with memristors, adding electronic brains to neural robots, some of the current difficulties with learning algorithms for spiking systems and more. Discussion follows with Giulia D’Angelo (https://www.linkedin.com/in/giuliadangelo/) from the Italian Institute of Technology and Ralph Etienne-Cummings (https://engineering.jhu.edu/faculty/ralph-etienne-cummings/) from Johns Hopkins University.

In this first episode of the new Brains and Machines (http://brainsandmachines.net/) podcast, EE Times regular Sunny Bains (http://sunnybains.com/) interviews André van Schaik (https://www.westernsydney.edu.au/icns/about/people/researchers/professor_andre_van_schaik) from the Western Sydney University about how neuromorphic engineering has changed since the early 90s, a new project to help simulate neural and neuromorphic models, and more. Discussion follows with Giulia D’Angelo (https://www.linkedin.com/in/giuliadangelo/) from the Italian Institute of Technology and Ralph Etienne-Cummings (https://engineering.jhu.edu/faculty/ralph-etienne-cummings/) from Johns Hopkins University.

Today’s episode, hosted by editor in chief Brett Brune, is first in a series of podcasts and articles on Diversity and Belonging in Electronics Engineering. You’ll hear from Electro Soft CEO Karla Trotman, on reaching the top.

EE Times has just released the 23rd edition of the Silicon 100, our annual list of electronics and semiconductor startups to watch. In this podcast with Embedded.com editor in chief Nitin Dahad, technology journalist Peter Clarke analyzes the current dynamics of the global startup ecosystem and discusses emerging technology trends.

Join us as we hear from Brett Brune, editor in chief of EETimes.com, and Barbara Jorgenson, editor in chief of EPSNews.com, about the exciting developments this report covers and what it means for the future of smart manufacturing.

Being a power engineer is like being a soccer goalie: no one notices you unless you fail and let one in. And if you’re controlling enough power, EVERYONE will notice because failure is typically accompanied by a startling bang and a cloud of smoke. Wide Bandgap technology, and GaN in particular, is relatively new, so how can a responsible engineer be convinced that the technology is ready for prime time and avoid an own-goal, particularly in application spaces where lives or big bags of money are riding on uninterrupted operation?Our guest today is Doug Bailey, VP of Marketing and Applications Engineering at Power Integrations. Mr. Bailey joined Power Integrations in 2004. Prior to joining PI, Mr. Bailey worked in a number of semiconductor marketing roles in Silicon Valley, and in the distant past, designed DSP and image processing ICs.

In this podcast, Nitin Dahad, editor in chief of Embedded.com, talks to Maryam Rofougaran, CEO and co-founder of Movandi, about 5G mmWave in terms of trends, opportunities and challenges for deployment, and what progress she expects over the next 18 months or so.

Join us as we hear from Brett Brune, editor in chief of EETimes.com, and Gina Roos, editor in chief of ElectronicProducts.com, about the exciting developments this report covers and what it means for the future of RF/Wireless technology.

In this podcast, we talk to Silicon Catalyst and Arm on how their Global Silicon Startups contest offers opportunity for accelerating growth.

ue to today’s connected world, a high volume of valuable data, susceptible to tampering and physical attacks, is processed, stored, and moved between devices, cars, and data centers. With each connected device comes more data to process and ultimately secure through various interfaces and systems to the cloud. Security is on center stage in the semiconductor industry, and all interfaces and data that move across them need to be secure. Even if all the base-level protocols and standards are met, designers must ensure that the entire SoC is protected. Additionally, as technology evolves (such as quantum computing), so do the threats and ways to attack systems, requiring increasingly reliable, resilient security solutions across the board that will be needed worldwide. Synopsys considers security an integral part of design architecture, not an afterthought.In this podcast, we will discuss the fundamentals of securing interfaces and how Synopsys’ Secure Interfaces allows designers to quickly implement the highest levels of security in their SoCs on every link while complying with the latest standards requirements, with low risk and quick time-to-market.

Power electronics must improve efficiency to meet international standards and reduce power waste, making in this way products more sustainable. From mobile phone chargers to industrial SMPS, all AC-powered applications need power supplies. Cambridge startup Pulsiv emerged with their power electronics technology. In this podcast episode featuring Darrel Kingham, Chief Executive Officer of Pulsiv, we will analyze how Pulsiv is reaching this market goal with a patent solution.

Today’s feature interview is with Gordon Cooper, Product Manager for AI and neural network processor IP at Synopsys. We cover the differences between Generative AI and object detection AI, as well as compared Generative AI to embedded AI. We’ll discuss ChatGPT, a transformer AI model, and explain its ability to identify patterns within large datasets. We will also discuss the challenges of implementing transformers in embedded spaces, along with the different areas where AI is being implemented in volume applications

Join us for an in-depth discussion on the long-awaited breakthrough of 800G Ethernet technology and the crucial role of industry standards in driving its adoption. In this podcast, Synopsys Sr. Product Manager John Swanson will provide expert insights into the technical details of 800G Ethernet and how industry standards are enabling greater interoperability. In this episode, discover the benefits of 800G Ethernet, including its greater bandwidth, improved reliability, and how industry standards are enabling greater interoperability. Whether you're a chip designer or a curious listener, this podcast is your guide to the exciting new developments in networking and the future of data transmission. Synopsys.com (https://www.synopsys.com/multi-die-system.html?cmp=disp_sol_mds_eet_pod_04142023_nn_NA_ucie_flt_no)
