High Speed Converters, Nanowires, and our Smarter Life

This week’s Fish Fry is a feast of EE awesomeness but don’t just take our word for it. Pull up a chair and dig in! First, we’ll whet your appetite with some unique research from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science. We check out how a team of researchers from KAIST hope to stem the tide of counterfeit parts, one silver nanowire fingerprint at a time. Next, we toast the winners of Newark element14’s Smarter Life Challenge with Dianne Kibbey (element14). Dianne tells us about the winning projects from this years contest and gives us a tasty sneak peek into element14’s next design contest. To finish off this week’s episode, we serve up some sweet analog-to-digital conversion with high speed converters. The dinner bell is ringin’ – it’s time for Fish Fry.

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.

CBOT MULTIGIG Transceiver Platform
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Anders Thelin from TE Connectivity and Amelia Dalton explore how the CBOT MULTIGIG transceiver platform helps address these challenges with a modular, high-performance approach to rugged, high-density connectivity. We also investigate how this platform supports next-generation system architectures, improves design efficiency, and enables robust performance in even the most demanding environments.
