Embedded Executive: AI Effects All Subsystems Including Memory, with Micron

May 01 2024 9 mins  
In this era of AI, designers have to think differently about every aspect of their projects. That includes the memory subsystem. To that end, Micron had a series of announcements to help facilitate AI, particularly on mobile devices. But beyond each subsystem, there’s just so much that needs to be learned and still so much that’s unknown. That’s where this week’s Embedded E

Pre-Compliance Testing is a Must: Embedded Executive, Rohde & Schwarz

Apr 24 2024 8 mins  
Pre-compliance testing is a phenomenon that should be a no-brainer, but for lots of reasons—none of them good—it’s not always done. When you’re doing a design that requires RF and you don’t do the testing, you’re really asking for trouble. That goes double for a product that’s going to ship into multiple geographies. To understand how this process should occur, I spok

Embedded Executive: Looking For a Job? Focus on Your Writing, Webster & Webster

Apr 17 2024 10 mins  
Engineers are usually good at engineering, but writing? That’s a different story. In many cases, lacking the ability to write well can hurt engineers. This rears its ugly head when these engineers are job hunting. Having mis-spellings and bad grammar on a resume is a huge red flag. This is particularly true for some real cherry jobs attracting numerous applications. To understand

Embedded Executive: Proprietary Vs. Open AI Ecosystems, Infineon

Apr 10 2024 11 mins  
AI MCU vendors have mostly been putting themselves into two camps when it comes to the ecosystem. On one side, the vendor is providing everything themselves. In the other camp, the vendor is relying on partners and the community at large to provide the ecosystem. I recently spoke to Steve Tateosian, SVP of Industrial MCUs, IoT, Wireless, and Compute Business at Infineon, as the com

Embedded Executive: Partnerships Can Simplify Complex AI Designs, with Renesas and EdgeCortix

Apr 03 2024 25 mins  
In a rare move, I had two guests join me for this week’s Embedded Executives podcast, but for a good reason. I was joined by Mohammed Dogar, Vice President and Head of Global Business Development and Ecosystem at Renesas Electronics, and Sakya Dasgupta, Founder and CEO of EdgeCortix.I asked them to join me together because they have partnered on some interesting Edge AI technolog

Embedded Executive: An Embedded Developer’s Challenges May Not Be What You Think, The Embedded Kit

Mar 27 2024 9 mins  
The Embedded Kit recently conducted a survey to understand the biggest challenges facing an embedded developer. You would think those challenges are obvious, and some of them are, but the survey uncovered some fairly interesting areas that are not so obvious. If you’re interested in finding out where those not-so-obvious challenges exist, check out this week’s Embedded Executiv

Embedded Executive: Understand The Accuracy Required in Semiconductor Manufacturing with Heidenhain

Mar 20 2024 13 mins  
Do you understand the metrology that applies to semiconductor manufacturing? I know I certainly didn’t, and found out how little I knew about this essential technology when I spoke to David Doyle, the President and Managing Director of Heidenhain Corp. While mostly applying to semiconductors, the technology can be deployed on any manufacturing platform. But semiconductor manufact

Embedded Executive: How, Where, and Why LoRaWAN is Penetrating Our Communities, LoRa Alliance

Mar 13 2024 11 mins  
The LoRa Alliance recently conducted a user study to see how far LoRaWAN technology has penetrated into the community. If you’re not familiar, LoRaWAN is a low-power wide-area network that has a range that can be measured in miles.I wanted to understand what the results of the user study showed. Do developers feel confident in deploying the technology? How does it work globally?

Embedded Executive: SOMs or COMs. Same? Different? Yes and No, Samtec

Mar 06 2024 8 mins  
Are SOMs and COMs the same thing? Some people would say yes, but in reality, they are not. So, what’s the difference. To get a better understanding of the matter, I spoke to Matthew Burns, a Global Director at Samtec on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast. The second part of this discussion is which is appropriate for your application. Tune in to find out.

Embedded Executive: Isolators Without A Power Supply, Infineon

Feb 28 2024 10 mins  
Have you ever heard of an isolator without a power supply? I hadn’t either, until now, sort of. That’s not exactly what Infineon is launching, but it’s close enough that I needed to have a conversation with Daniel Callen, Infineon’s Sr. Manager in the Power IC Group to understand exactly what the company is launching. If your application is in solid-state relays, industrial
