Ultra-Low Power Strikes Again

by Amelia Dalton

Show me an engineer that isn’t worried about power consumption and I’ll show you a bridge I’d love to sell you. Getting the power consumption down in your designs can be a tricky dance. From the semiconductor process, to the components you choose, to the embedded software you use, just about every decision you make affects your system power. In this episode of Fish Fry, we’re talking to Gordon Hands (Director of Marketing – Lattice Semiconductor). Gordon and I chat about the world’s smallest FPGAs and what ultra-low power devices can do. Also this week, I’m talking with Alf Bogen (CMO – Energy Micro) about how Energy Micro is making a name for themselves in the low power business.

I’ve got a brand new nerdy giveaway – an NXP LPCXpresso Development Board courtesy of newark element14. Visit element14.com/fishfry to enter to win one of these super cool development boards.

Integrity 3D-IC: Industry’s First Fully Integrated 3D-IC Platform

Sponsored by Cadence Design Systems

3D stacking of ICs is emerging as a preferred solution for chip designers facing a slowdown in Moore’s Law and the rising costs of advanced nodes. However, chip stacking creates new complexities, with extra considerations required for the mechanical, electrical, and thermal aspects of the whole stacked system. Watch this video for an overview of Cadence® Integrity™ 3D-IC, a comprehensive platform for 3D planning, implementation, and system analysis, enabling system-driven PPA for multi-chiplet designs.

Machine Learning with Microchip

Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Microchip

Can you design a machine learning application without a deep knowledge in machine learning? Yes, you can! In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Yann Le Faou from Microchip about a machine learning approach that is low power, includes an expertise in communication and security, and is easy to implement.
