This week model-based design and software defined vehicles take center stage! My guest Jim Tung (MathWorks fellow) and I discuss the trends driving a push toward software defined vehicles, the benefits of model-based design for SDV development and the tools that engineers should consider for virtualizing vehicle behavior. Also this week, I investigate a new enhanced event camera developed by a team of researchers at the University of Maryland … Read More → "Model-Based Design and the Rise of Software Defined Vehicle Development"
I’ve said it before, and I’ll doubtless say it again; I’m a simple man. As I’ve also said before, this isn’t a pause for you to agree with me enthusiastically because I haven’t completed my train of thought. What I was trying to say was that I’m a simple man who likes a simple story.
I … Read More → "Customized Analog for the Connected World"
I’ve just heard something that left me flabbergasted. Seriously. I cannot recall the last time my flabber was quite this gasted. All I can say is that if you dare to read this column, your own flabber is in danger of joining mine, so this might be a good time for you to don clothing appropriate to the occasion.
Let’s start … Read More → "Want to Run LLMs on the Edge?"
Late in 2021, I published a five-part series titled “How the FPGA Came To Be” (referenced below). That series chronicled the development of programmable logic from the earliest days of Harris Semiconductor’s programmable diode arrays and continued through the development of bipolar PROMs, the Signetics 82S100 FPLA, MMI’s original bipolar PALs, CMOS PAL devices from Altera and Lattice Semiconductor, and finally the introduction of the … Read More → "How the FPGA Came To Be, Part 6: Actel’s FPGA Story"
This week Mark Benton (TE Connectivity) joins me to chat all about rugged optical transceivers. Mark and I discuss how these transceivers can enable flexible embedded solutions, the challenges of unbalanced input and output channel counts in military and aerospace designs, and the benefits that modularity can bring to these kinds of designs. Also this week, I check out how you can take a trip to … Read More → "Next Generation Wafers and the Future of Optical Connectivity"
I was just cogitating and ruminating on the futuristic technologies to which I was exposed when “Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS)” first graced our television screens in 1966. Things like the flip-open communicators, which predated the launch of the world’s first flip phone by 30 years.
Also, there was artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) of a form. However, … Read More → "Open-Source AutoML for Edge AI/ML Development"
