E Ticket To Ride

EDA, Ethics, and Energetic Engineering

All aboard! The train is leaving the station. This week we’re taking the EE express from EDA station through some twisty turns in the mountainous region of ethics in our fair semiconductor industry, and then it’s on over the hill to some awesome energetic engineering. We’re checking out the EDA goodness that is CDNLive including the seriously Sci-Fi movie in one of this year’s keynotes. On our next stop, we’re looking into the role that ethics plays (and should play) in the semiconductor industry with Xerxes Wania (CEO – Sidense), and we’re also grooving to a whole new way to do The Harlem Shake – engineering style.

Also this week, I’m giving away a Arduino Nano Board courtesy of Newark element14. Check out this week’s broadcast to find out how 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.

Designing Scalable IoT Mesh Networks with Digi XBee® for Wi-SUN
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Digi and Silicon Labs
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Quinn Jones from Digi, Chad Steider from Silicon Labs and Amelia Dalton explore how Wi-SUN Micro-Mesh can reduce cost and simplify deployment for your next IoT mesh network. They also investigate the benefits that Digi XBee solutions bring to these types of networks and how you can jump start your next IoT mesh network design with Silicon Labs and Digi.
