From Cradle to Floor

Prototyping, Functional Verification, and Body Heat Power

Headlamp? Check. Spelunking gear? Check. Map of your next design from prototype to production? Well, hmmmm. We’ve all been there at one time or another: “Nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there.” This week we’re getting into the nitty gritty details of the prototyping phase of our designs. My guest is Bob Potock (Kozio) and we’re gonna chat about why you really should consider functional verification for your next embedded design project.

Also this week, I’m checking out the newest innovation in thermoelectric energy harvesting from Perpetua Power Solution Technologies and giving everyone another chance to win a copy of “FRAM For Dummies.”

Larsen & Toubro Builds Data Centers with Effective Cooling Using Cadence Reality DC Design

Sponsored by Cadence Design Systems

Larsen & Toubro built the world’s largest FIFA stadium in Qatar, the world’s tallest statue, and one of the world’s most sophisticated cricket stadiums. Their latest business venture? Designing data centers. Since IT equipment in data centers generates a lot of heat, it’s important to have an efficient and effective cooling system. Learn why, Larsen & Toubro use Cadence Reality DC Design Software for simulation and analysis of the cooling system.

PIC® and AVR® Microcontrollers Enable Low-Power Applications
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Microchip
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Marc McComb from Microchip explore how Microchip’s PIC® and AVR® MCUs are a game changer when it comes to low power embedded designs. They investigate the benefits that the flexible signal routing, core independent peripherals, and Analog Peripheral Manager (APM) bring to modern embedded designs and how these microcontroller families can help you avoid a variety of pitfalls in your next design.
