Newark™ element14 Celebrates National Engineers Week

This week’s Fish Fry is brought to you by you. Yes, you. The DSP dude. The Coder chick. The Analog Grand Master. We’re celebrating engineers in all shapes, sizes, and process nodes. With National Engineers Week just around the corner, my guest this week is Tamara Jurgenson (Newark element14), and we’re gonna chat about Newark element14’s month-long engineering party.

I’m giving everyone the chance to win a LaunchPad Evaluation Kit courtesy of Texas Instruments, but you’ll have to listen to find out how to enter to win.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
