Are you ready to meet the world’s first deterministic AI that helps electronic teams go from architecture to schematic in 60 seconds? We’re talking about algorithmic component selection and schematic generation technology that optimizes billions of component combinations, thereby allowing you to avoid datasheet doom-scrolling, reduce schematic errors, and design for supply chain resilience in minutes. What’s not to love?

Fresh from this year’s Embedded Tech Trends Conference, this week’s podcast is all about open standards in military and aerospace applications. First, Simon Collins from Abaco Systems and I chat all about AI in defense applications, recent trends in RF performance in military and aerospace designs and how open architecture systems can enable cutting edge capabilities in these kinds of systems. Also this week, longtime … Read More → "SoMs, CoMs, and Cutting Edge Capabilities in Open Architecture Systems"
Sometimes I envy the creators of early, unconnected computers. They could happily spend their days working on the fun stuff—both hardware and software—without worrying about bad actors, nefarious fellows, and naughty nation states trying to break in and steal their data or, worse, encrypting said data and then ransoming it.
These days, I pity the folks in charge of data centers … Read More → "AI-Based Cybersecurity for Next-Generation Data Center Servers"
My podcast guest this week is Mattias Wagner from Flux! Mattias and I investigate the role that AI plays in the Flux PCB design platform. We also delve into the details of the Flux Method, Flux Model and Flux Copilot, and discuss why working smarter not harder is cornerstone to the Flux mission. I also investigate why the discovery of phosphorus in … Read More → "AI is My Copilot: How Flux is Revolutionizing PCB Design"
I have seen the future of electronic design. It is both awesome and scary. I’m too young for all this excitement. I have much to impart. Before we proceed further, however, let’s first remind ourselves as to the way things were in ye olden days, by which—as terrifying as it seems—I mean prior to 2023.
When I … Read More → "May the Flux (Copilot) Be with You!"
When I was a young sprout, I used to work for a pair of sister companies called Cirrus Designs and Cirrus Computers in the UK. While at Cirrus Designs, I learned all* about testing integrated circuits (ICs) and printed circuit boards (PCBs). Meanwhile, at Cirrus Computers, I learned all* about digital logic simulation, automatic test pattern generation (ATPG), and automatic test equipment (ATE). (*When I say “ … Read More → "Teradyne’s Tactics to Tackle Twenty-First Century Test"
