May the Flux (Copilot) Be with You!

I have seen the future of electronic design. It is both awesome and scary. I’m too young for all this excitement. I have much to impart. Before we proceed further, however, let’s first remind ourselves as to the way things were in ye olden days, by which—as terrifying as it seems—I mean prior to 2023. … Read More →

Are These the Top-Performing Edge AI Processors?

by Max Maxfield

I fear I am becoming befuddled, bewildered, and bemused. It seems like every day I get to chat with a new company (well, a company new to me) that’s involved with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in some capacity or other. Some of these companies focus on the cloud, while others target the … Read More →

Teradyne’s Tactics to Tackle Twenty-First Century Test

by Max Maxfield

When I was a young sprout, I used to work for a pair of sister companies called Cirrus Designs and Cirrus Computers in the UK. While at Cirrus Designs, I learned all* about testing integrated circuits (ICs) and printed circuit boards (PCBs). Meanwhile, at Cirrus Computers, I learned all* about digital logic simulation, automatic test … Read More →

Blumind Bodes AI For Everyone, Everywhere

by Max Maxfield

As I’ve mentioned several times on previous occasions, when I commenced my degree course in Control Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University in England circa the mid-1970s, the only computer available to the students that physically resided in the engineering department building was a room-sized analog beast. In this case, we implemented our algorithms using plug-in cables to connect the various analog functions.

The Future Sounds Incredible (When Employing Ultrasonic Speaker Technology)

by Max Maxfield

I’ve said it many times before, and I’ll doubtless say it many times again—I’m a simple man who likes a simple story—something I can wrap my poor old noggin around without tears of confusion rolling down my cheeks and sans my brains leaking out of my ears. Happily, the tale I’m poised to impart is … Read More →

Want to Reduce Your Data Center AI Inferencing Infrastructure Costs by 10X?

by Max Maxfield

I just had something of an epiphany.* What pops into your mind when you are exposed to the term “extreme edge”? Assuming you are of a technical nature, I’d wager the first thing you consider is the “things” portion of the internet of things (IoT). That is, the smart connected sensors and actuators that sit … Read More →

What Is Time, What Time Is It, and Why Do We Care?

by Max Maxfield

I’ve made mention of this before, but it bears repeating; when I was a little lad growing up in England, it seemed to me that, as soon as two or more adults huddled together, they had only three main topics of conversation. They started with the weather—how it was today, how this compared to the … Read More →

Embedded Security for MCUs at the Edge

by Max Maxfield

I don’t know about you, but I think it’s getting to be a scary world out there, cybersecurity speaking. I’m not an angry man, but this makes me want to gnash my teeth and rend my garb. When I was in my early-20s (sometime in the previous century), a small group of us visited a … Read More →

Are You Ready for the Chiplet Age?

by Max Maxfield

As is usually the case, I’m astonished and astounded by the leaps in technology that are occurring all around me. Things are now moving so fast that there will probably be yet another mindboggling development before I’ve finished this column (so I’d better write it as quickly as I can). The generation of electronics engineers … Read More →

MEMS Oscillators Address Precision Timing Problems

by Max Maxfield

Everywhere I turn these days I discover more instances of the need for precision timing. I’m also learning about various amazingly clever solutions engineers have come up with to address some exceedingly complicated problems. Consider packet-based networks, for example. Let’s suppose you have a master clock somewhere. How would you set about ensuring that any … Read More →
