Looking Forward to a Smarter Life

Take the Smarter Life Challenge
by Amelia Dalton

Hold on tight, ladies and gentlemen, as Fish Fry gazes into to the future of our “smart lives” with Dianne Kibbey, Global Head of Community and the organizer of the Smarter Life Challenge at Newark element14. We’ll give you the details of the Smarter Life Challenge, let you know how you can enter, and tell you what you can win. Also this week, our EDA crystal ball shows us an exciting vision of a day when timing closure isn’t such a huge pain in the neck. 

We’re giving everyone one more chance to win a Starter Kit for PIC24F Intelligent Integrated Analog courtesy of Microchip technology. You can enter to win by commenting on this week’s Fish Fry page.

Demo: Inuitive NU4000 SoC with ARC EV Processor Running SLAM and CNN

Sponsored by Synopsys

Autonomous vehicles, robotics, augmented and virtual reality all require simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) to build a map of the surroundings. Combining SLAM with a neural network engine adds intelligence, allowing the system to identify objects and make decisions. In this demo, Synopsys ARC EV processor’s vision engine (VPU) accelerates KudanSLAM algorithms by up to 40% while running object detection on its CNN engine.

The Cryptography Handbook

Sponsored by Maxim Integrated

The Cryptography Handbook is designed to be a quick study guide for a product development engineer, taking an engineering rather than theoretical approach. In this series, we start with a general overview and then define the characteristics of a secure cryptographic system. We then describe various cryptographic concepts and provide an implementation-centric explanation of physically unclonable function (PUF) technology. We hope that this approach will give the busy engineer a quick understanding of the basic concepts of cryptography and provide a relatively fast way to integrate security in his/her design.

A New Perspective on Materialism

Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and KEMET

When choosing capacitors or other passive components, it’s easy to get bogged down in the datasheets. But, how often do you think about the properties of the materials these components are made from? In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Patrik Kalbermatten of KEMET take a fascinating look at material classification, the role of ferrite in systems, and the development of metal composite piezo ceramic powders to give us sustainable sources for our component materials.
