Meet the World’s Smallest, Most Integrated 3D Ultrasonic Sensor

The concept of age is much on my mind at the moment. Well, yes, theoretically I will be turning 65 in a few months’ time, thank you so much for bringing this to everyone’s attention, but that’s not what I meant. On the other hand, since you’ve seen fit to open this can of worms, … Read More →

Dropping the Ball and Casting Aspersions (Part Deux)

by Max Maxfield

A few months ago, I posted a couple of columns -- Dropping the Ball and Casting Aspersions and Metrology Maketh the Man (and Woman, and Silicon Chip) – as part of which I posed the question: Who can say what discoveries and inventions would have been triggered had the wisdom of the ancients been accepted and employed?

BotFactory: All-In-One PCB Printing and Assembly

by Max Maxfield

If you are anything like me, you dream of having the ability to create and automatically populate your printed circuit board (PCB) prototypes in the comfort of your own office. Well, in fact you can, because BotFactory’s SV2 combines a conductive ink printer, solder paste extruder, pick-and-place machine, and reflow bed into a single product … Read More →

Welcome to a World of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces

by Max Maxfield

Have you heard that the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), which produces globally applicable standards for Information and Communications Technology (ICT), recently launched a new Industry Specification Group on Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (ISG RIS)? There’s no need to hang your head in shame if this is new news to you. To be honest, I didn’t … Read More →

When Reliability Analysis Meets Silicon Lifecycle Management

by Max Maxfield

I’ve recently been chatting with folks from Synopsys and Concertio, and now my head is so full of “stuff” regarding things like hyper-convergent chip design, reliability analysis, real-time performance optimization, and silicon lifecycle management that I don’t know whether I’m coming or going. I’ve told this tale before (and I’ll doubtless tell it again), but … Read More →

Multifarious Multifaceted Memory Solutions for AI, ML, and DL

by Max Maxfield

I recently had a very interesting chat with Steven Woo, who is a Fellow and Distinguished Inventor at Rambus. I’d like to kick off by saying that Steven is a delight to talk to. He’s obviously got a size-16 brain (one of the sporty models with “go-faster” stripes on the side), but he’s so good … Read More →

Next-Gen Voice Interfaces for Smart Things and Loquacious Folks

by Max Maxfield

I was just chatting with Mark Lippett, who is CEO at the British chip company XMOS. Mark was telling me that they recently announced the launch of their XVF3610 and XVF3615 voice processors. These little beauties will power the next generation of high-performance two-microphone voice interfaces for wireless speakers, TVs, set-top boxes, smart home appliances, … Read More →

Renesas Announces Fabulous ForgeFPGA Family

by Max Maxfield

It’s not often that I have the chance to introduce a new field-programmable gate array (FPGA) family, and even rarer that we get to greet a new FPGA vendor, so my cup runneth over because Renesas Electronics Corporation just leaped into the FPGA market with the announcement of a new line of very low-cost, very … Read More →

The Metaverse is Coming and GridRaster Is Ready to Take Us There

by Max Maxfield

Before we plunge headfirst into the fray with gusto and abandon and — of course — aplomb, I’d like to make mention of the fact that I am a huge fan of virtual reality and augmented reality. We should also remind ourselves that, as I discussed in my What the FAQ are VR, MR, AR, … Read More →

Using Machine Learning to Optimize FPGA Layout and Timing

by Max Maxfield

As usual, I’m amazed by how fast and how far things have changed in my own lifetime. When I started my career in electronics and computers in 1980, we thought simple programmable logic devices (PLDs) were pretty darned cool, not least that their creators managed to wring so many acronyms out of the same small … Read More →
