Meet the Power-Delivery Chiplets That May Save 50% of Your AI Power

If you’d tried to start a power-related conversation with me just a few short years ago, I’d probably have shrugged my shoulders in disinterest. These days, however, it seems the subject of power is on everybody’s lips. It’s a hot topic, if you’ll forgive the pun (and even if you won’t).

I remember the mainframe computer we were working on in 1980. … Read More → "Meet the Power-Delivery Chiplets That May Save 50% of Your AI Power"

Who Doesn’t Need Battery-Powered, Cloud-Free AI?

Way back in the mists of time, in those halcyon days we used to call 2010, I was fortunate enough to be invited to speak at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) in Bangalore (now Bengaluru), India. Formally founded as a fort in 1537, Bengaluru offers an eclectic mix of stone watchtowers and ancient temples, spectacular colonial-era architecture, and gleaming technology parks and skyscrapers.

Make It So: Agentic AI Comes to Flux

I remember “ye olden days” when we (humans) designed electronic products by hand—conceiving circuits, selecting components, drawing schematics, laying out printed circuit boards (PCBs)… Can you imagine instead just telling an AI, “Make me a [your product here] for consumer use,” and it actually does it? Well, that day has arrived.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll doubtless say it … Read More → "Make It So: Agentic AI Comes to Flux"

Modeling, Simulation and The Future of Vehicle-to-Grid Technology

Let’s talk about V2G! My podcast guest this week is Dr. Graham Dudgeon from MathWorks and we are talking all about vehicle-to-grid technology and how V2G technology can help with the complex management of the grid. Graham and I also discuss the biggest benefits of bidirectional power converters and how simulation, advanced control design, and automated code generation can help you develop bidirectional power converters.

Exceptional Multi-Mode Antennas for Your Inimitable Connected Devices

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I’m a digital logic design engineer by trade. I bask in the certainty of the digital 0 and 1 domain, my mind lurches on its gimbals when faced with the wibbly-wobbly world of analog, and it cowers at the thought of radio frequency (RF) design, which—in my humble opinion—is best left to those who are … Read More → "Exceptional Multi-Mode Antennas for Your Inimitable Connected Devices"
