I’m still chafing under the impositions imposed by the punctuation police. I speak of those who don the undergarments of authority and stride the corridors of power. Those despicable despots who dictate I can no longer terminate the titles to my columns with exclamation marks, all the time muttering inscrutable incantations to their SEO gods. Fortunately, I’m not bitter. …

Put Your Sem;colons to Work [Exclamation Mark Goes Here]"As we discussed in the initial installment of this 2-part extravaganza, some people pursue a predictable path on their way to engineer-hood (where “-hood” comes from the Middle English “-hode,” which itself comes from the Old English “-hād,” meaning “state of being”). Others, like your humble narrator, end up taking a more circuitous route, which may involve Lady Luck finagling the dice in their favor (I … Read More → "There’s More Than One Way to Become an Engineer (Part 2)"
I was born in 1957. If you are on the younger side of things, I bet you’re thinking something along the lines of, “Wow! That’s AGES ago!” You’re right. It is. That’s why it’s taken me such a long time to get from then to now (I took the scenic route).
Along my rambling (some may … Read More → "There’s More Than One Way to Become an Engineer (Part 1)"
How about some WiFi 6 and 6E to start your Friday!? My podcast guest this week is Sivaram Trikutam (Infineon – Vice President of Wi-Fi). Sivaram and I discuss the advancements in the world of WiFi and Bluetooth, why interoperability and standardization are crucial to global IoT adoption and the benefits that Infineon’s new AIROC™ Wi-Fi connected microcontrollers bring to IoT applications. Also this week, I check out a new … Read More → "Speeding Down the Digital Highway: WiFi 6/6E and the Infineon’s New Connected MCUs"
I remember when the first FPGA waved a cheery hello to the world back in 1985. (I know I’ve talked about this before, but there are always new members to the EE Journal Community who weren’t around when many of the technologies we now take for granted originally appeared on the scene.) This little scamp was the Xilinx XC2064, which boasted an 8×8=64 array of configurable logic … Read More → "GOWIN’s “Golly Gosh” Low-Cost High-Performance FPGAs"
I was just taking a trip down memory lane, remembering how things used to be when I was but a lad. Since the dawn of time, all the way through to the end of the 1960s, for example, electronic circuit diagrams (schematics) were captured by hand using pencil and paper. Similarly, circuit layouts at both the board and silicon chip level were largely handcrafted.
