 Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designsSponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality. |

GaN for Humanoid Robots
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Infineon
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Eric Persson and Amelia Dalton explore why power is the key driver for efficient and reliable robot movements and how GaN technologies can help motor control solutions be more compact, integrated and efficient. They also investigate the role of field-oriented control in humanoid robotic applications and why the choice of a GaN power transistor can make all the difference in your next humanoid robot project!
Hmm … Before The Internet (BTI) … we read lots of books, invited friends over to play board games, family puzzles, family TV shows, weekend BBQ’s with friends, family square dancing, local bingo, lots of shop projects, weekend road trips to anywhere/everywhere, AOL/BBS/Usenet flame wars, no phone calls (because of dialup AOL/BBS access), cycling/hiking/swimming/diving, lots of bowling, long hikes, drag/road/dirt-track racing, model rockets, RC cars/planes, school football/basketball/baseball, movies with friends at the drive-in theater, weekend flea-market, ham-fests, hardly anything was boring.
Now there just isn’t a good excuse to leave the house anymore … till you die.
