Taking the Size and Power of Extreme Edge AI/ML to the Extreme Minimum

Earlier this year, I penned a couple of columns under the umbrella title “Mind-Boggling Neuromorphic Brain Chips.” One of the first comments I received concerning these columns was short, sharp, and sweet, simply reading, “Also, Brain-Boggling.”

Arrrggghhh. How did I miss that? How could I not have used “Brain-Boggling Neuromorphic Brain Chips”? There was much gnashing of teeth and rending of garb that … Read More → "Taking the Size and Power of Extreme Edge AI/ML to the Extreme Minimum"

Intelligently Transporting Electrical and Optical Signals

Back in the day, when computers ran standalone and there was no such thing as networks, I used to be reasonably confident that I had at least a vague understanding as to what was going on. Silicon chips talked to other silicon chips and circuit boards talked to other circuit boards using electrical signals travelling over copper wires. If you wanted to send a message over longer … Read More → "Intelligently Transporting Electrical and Optical Signals"

There’s Exciting News on the Multi-Modal AI SoC Front

As is often the case, I’m amazed by how so many things seem to be interrelated and interconnected. I’m sorry… I feel an aside coming on… I cannot help myself… just saying “interconnected” reminds me of the book “Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency,” which was written by the late great Douglas Adams.

As you may recall, Dirk is an unconventional … Read More → "There’s Exciting News on the Multi-Modal AI SoC Front"

Customized Analog ASSPs for Smart Factories and Industry 4.0

I’m a digital logic design engineer by trade. In this uncertain world in which we live, I find comfort and take solace in the fact that you know where you stand with a trusty 0 or 1 in the digital domain. By comparison, I view the wibbly-wobbly analog arena as being inherently unsure, undecided, and uncertain. You never know what to expect with an analog signal.

Arrggghhh! Now I Want an NI mioDAQ! (Ignore the ‘!’)

For those who don the undergarments of authority and stride the corridors of power, pompously parading the insignia of the punctuation police and SEO security, it should be noted that the title to this column in no way ends with an exclamation mark, so there are no SEO concerns to concern you there!

Moving on… have you ever found yourself desperately wanting to … Read More → "Arrggghhh! Now I Want an NI mioDAQ! (Ignore the ‘!’)"
