Who Invented the Johnson Decade Counter (and Why)?

by Max Maxfield

I love digital logic. I love solving digital logic conundrums. And I especially love discovering interesting and unusual ways of doing things while also learning more about the people who came up with these ideas in the first place. Take Gray codes, for example. These were named after Frank Gray, who was a physicist and … Read More →

My AI Will Be Watching You (Part 2)

by Max Maxfield

“Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so,” as Ford Prefect said to Authur Dent in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I’d like to say I know what he meant, but it’s been a long time since I managed to make the time to have lunch (or breakfast, now I come to think about it). … Read More →

My AI Will Soon Be Watching You (Part 1)

by Max Maxfield

Time is a funny old thing. On the one hand, we don’t even know what it is. On the other hand, we never seem to have enough of it. I remember being a kid with several days remaining until Christmas. The second hand on the clock seemed to barely move, desperately straining to make its … Read More →

ST rolls a new FD-SOI microcontroller with phase-change memory (PCM) for automotive applications

by Steven Leibson

Like a battered and bruised prizefighter, phase-change memory (PCM) refuses to stay down or give up the fight. Although it got a black eye and bloody nose from its Micron 3D XPoint and Intel Optane misadventures, PCM has found its way into microcontrollers, thanks to a collaboration between STMicroelectronics (ST) and Samsung. Back in 2018, … Read More →

Affordable Rack-Mount Quantum Computers Are Here!

by Max Maxfield

As I may have mentioned on occasion, when it comes to quantum computing, one of my favorite quotes comes from the Night Watch tome of Terry Pratchett Discworld series. The quote in question reads as follows: “It’s very hard to talk quantum using a language originally designed to tell other monkeys where the ripe fruit … Read More →

Understanding and Optimizing SoC Hardware Performance

by Max Maxfield

Are you involved in developing SoCs? Are you banging your head against the wall, desperately trying to determine why you aren’t obtaining the performance promised by the providers of your processor, interconnect, and DDR memory controller IPs? Do I have good news for you? (Spoiler alert. The answer to the last question is a resounding … Read More →

AMD Rocks with New Versal Gen 2 AI Edge SoC FPGAs

by Max Maxfield

The awesome new AMD devices to which I’ve just been introduced have sparked a trip down memory lane (I know you’re surprised, because I pride myself on my laser-like focus that prevents me from wandering off into the weeds). I remember the 1970s and early 1980s when we thought the simple programmable logic devices (PLDs) … Read More →

AI, Simulation and A New Frontier of Space Applications

by Amelia Dalton

My podcast guest this week is MathWorks Space Segment Manager Ossi Saarela and we are chatting all about the intersection of AI and simulation for space applications! We investigate the challenges that engineers are facing today when it comes to the integration of AI into space systems, how simulation can be used to solve these … Read More →
