The cloud and IoT are growing and expanding in complexity in a variety of ways as the core technologies behind the devices and related infrastructure evolve and mature. In this episode, we talk to Nebu Philips, Senior Director, Strategy & Business Development at Synaptics, about where we are and where we want to go with edge computing, AI, and the Cloud.
IoT empowers intelligent machines to provide advanced functionality to society, but it isn’t easy to get there from here. Key aspects of development include the importance of creating tools that empower others, the role of the market ecosystems in driving adoption, and the challenges in the infrastructure needed to bring connected technologies to the market. We talk to Alistair Fulton, CEO of IoT Labs, about the future of the marketplace
Industrial subsystems are distributed so communication between these subsystems needs to preserve this information and deliver it in a timely fashion. This is where time sensitive networking (TSN) comes into play. We talk to Mark Geisler, Marketing Manager at Analog Devices, about the future of TSN in plug-and-play industrial networks as well as the technical and organizational challenges that engineers face when incorporating TSN into their systems.
The PCI-SIG PCI Express Gen 7 standard is now available but work has not stopped there. PCIe Gen 8 is on the horizon and with a planned doubling of the bandwidth to 256 GT/s. This will be challenging from a number of perspectives from support copper connections at this speed to advancements in the protocol.
In this episode, Electronic Design talks to Karl Wachswender, Senior Principal System Architect at Lattice Semiconductor. Lattice is well known for its power efficient FPGAs that support artificial intelligence (AI) applications. They also address post-quantum cryptography, and are found in demanding applications like automotive.
Nanusens creates nanoscale sensor structures inside the CMOS layers using standard CMOS processes within the same production flow as making the control electronics on the same chip. This approach reduces the size and cost as it benefits from the vast economies of scale of using giant CMOS fabs. The resulting single chip solution has a packaged size of 0.5 mm³. This episode delves into the technology, its future, and some limitations.
Christian Bornschein, Manager of Marketing & Sales at Port Industrial Automation, talks about how Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is employed in industrial automation. We also discuss some real-world examples and how TSN enables simpler, more effective industrial control product development.
RAID, redundant array of independent disks, uses redundancy to provide a more robust disk drive array capable of operation even with the loss of a drive. RAID 1 replicates data with a 50% overhead. RAID 5 and 6 are more common in larger arrays with less overhead as more drives are added to the mix but with a tradeoff in performance.
Mark Anthony, Product Line Manager at Microchip Technology, talks about the company's SmartRAID 4300 Series, which is designed to accelerate the operation of RAID arrays implemented build on NVMe drives.
AI workloads and other advanced computing applications continue to expand, pressuring the development community with the dual challenges of performance and manufacturability. Traditional SoCs are approaching their limits in terms of size, yield, and cost, and one solution lies in chiplet-based architectures. In this episode, we talk to Larry Zu, CEO at Sarcina Technology, and how the company is deploying interconnect to minimize signal crosstalk and enhance signal integrity.
Synaptics is well known for their touch technology, but they do a lot more including their new Astra SL2610 family of system-on-chip (SoC) that incorporates Google’s open source, Coral artificial intelligence (AI) accelerator. Synaptics’ Vikram Gupta talks about the Synaptics' continuing push for edge AI and how that is tied into their other offerings that touch on everything from wireless connectivity to biometrics.
Wide-bandgap semiconductors like silicon carbide (SiC) have changed the landscape of electronics and have fomented a revolution in power conversion. In this podcast, we talk to Adam Barkley, VP, Power Technology Development at Wolfspeed, about the state of the industry in silicon carbide and where the industry is going.
We can simulate everything very exactly, but when it comes to that analog interface between the system and reality, you must be very careful because sometimes things don't behave in the analog realm the way they're predicted to. In this episode, we talk to Dermot O'Shea, CEO of Taoglas, about the state of the cloud and IoT and the challenges in developing products to operate well within it.
The world of test and measurement is getting more complex and challenging in many ways. There are multiple factors impacting the T&M industry, from materials to new topologies to smaller form factors with even higher levels of integration and power density. In this episode, we talk to the CEO of Liquid Instruments, Daniel Shaddock, about the current situation in the test and measurement industry and the company’s software-defined test solutions.
Spiking neural networks (SNN), also known as neuromorphic computing, are one way to implement artificial intelligence/machine learning models. It has significant advantages over the more popular digital deep neural networks (DNN) like convolutional neural networks (CNN), including very low power operation.
Innatera’s CEO, Sumeet Kumar, taks about how the company's new, ultra low power microcontroller can provide always-on (AON) SNN support in battery power- or energy harvesting-based applications.
Siemens provides a wide range of design tools for developing hardware and software including ones targeted at software defined vehicles (SDVs). In this episode, David Fritz, Vice President of Hybrid and Virtual Systems at Siemens, talks about SDV and the need for advanced tools and simulation support to meet the safety requirements while providing the functionality of higher SAE levels.
Piezoelectric-based MEMS have been used for sensors, but they can also be used as actuators to do things like move air and fluids. One thing that can be done is to implement a tiny speaker using this technology.
In this episode, xMEMS Labs’ Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, Mike Housholder, talks about his company's device. You can also watch the demos in our video, Making MEMS Move Air and Fluids for Fun and Cooling.
This is the first of a series of Inside Electronic podcasts addressing time sensitive networking (TSN). TSN is a set of IEEE 802.1 standards managed by the TSN Task Group. In this episode, Dave Cavalcanti, Principal Engineer at the Edge Computing Group at Intel and President of Avnu Alliance. He talks about TSN in general as well as important issues like interoperability that this common standard provides.
Supporting artificial intelligence's (AI) insatiable need for compute and storage is why SNIA put together the Storage.AI project. This webinar introduces the project's goals and the standards it will encompass.
Storage.AI will help deliver efficient data services related to AI workloads. How AI workloads utilize storage impacts cost, power, and performance. This discussion touches on the urgent problems in data services, especially around how storage interacts with compute.
The plethora of smart, connected devices has created a variety of new opportunities for how we work, live, and interact, but has also introduced data privacy and security risks. Security has been an issue in society ever since people had things of value to protect, and finally, most people now recognize the critical need for safety in the Internet and cybersecurity. In this episode, we talk to Denis Noël, Director & Head of Product Marketing, Secure Connected Edge, NXP, about security in the Cloud and IoT.
Our wireless world is an integral part of life today, with almost every powered device being made now smarter and more connected than ever before.
