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.

How MediaTek Optimizes SI Design with Cadence Optimality Explorer and Clarity 3D Solver

Sponsored by Cadence Design Systems

In the era of 5G/6G communication, signal integrity (SI) design considerations are important in high-speed interface design. MediaTek’s design process usually relies on human intuition, but with Cadence’s Optimality Intelligent System Explorer and Clarity 3D Solver, they’ve increased design productivity by 75X. The Optimality Explorer’s AI technology not only improves productivity, but also provides helpful insights and answers.

Introducing QSPICE™ Analog & Mixed-Signal Simulator
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Qorvo
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Mike Engelhardt from Qorvo investigate the benefits of QSPICE™ - Qorvo’s Analog & Mixed-Signal Simulator. They also explore how you can get started using this simulator, the supporting assets available for QSPICE, and why this free analog and mixed-signal simulator is a transformational tool for power designers.
