Chalk Talks Featuring Microchip
Tame the SiC Beast - Unleash the Full Capacity of Silicon Carbide
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Microchip
Wide band gap materials such as silicon carbide are revolutionizing the power industry. At the same time, they can also introduce byproducts including overheating, short circuits and over voltage. The question remains: how can we use silicon carbide without those headache-inducing side effects? In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Rob Weber from Microchip about Microchip’s patented augmented switching technology can make those silicon carbide side effects a thing of the past while reducing our switching losses up to 50% and accelerating our time to market as well.
Machine Learning with Microchip
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Microchip
Can you design a machine learning application without a deep knowledge in machine learning? Yes, you can! In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Yann Le Faou from Microchip about a machine learning approach that is low power, includes an expertise in communication and security, and is easy to implement.
Power over Ethernet - Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Microchip
Power over Ethernet has come a long way since its initial creation way back in 1997. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Alan Jay Zwiren from Microchip about the past, present, and future of power over ethernet including details of how a PoE system works, why midspans are crucial for power over ethernet connectivity and why Microchip can be your one stop shop for your next PoE design needs.
Thermocouple Temperature Sensor Solution
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Microchip
When it comes to temperature monitoring and management, industrial applications can be extremely demanding. With temperatures that can range from 270 to 3000 C, consumer-grade temperature probes just don’t cut it. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Ezana Haile of Microchip technology about using thermocouples for temperature monitoring in industrial applications.

Smart Embedded Vision with PolarFire FPGAs
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Microchip
In embedded vision applications, doing AI inference at the edge is often required in order to meet performance and latency demands. But, AI inference requires massive computing power, which can exceed our overall power budget. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton talks to Avery Williams of Microchip about using FPGAs to get the machine vision performance you need, without blowing your power, form factor, and thermal requirements.
Hello FPGA
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Microchip
Getting started on an FPGA-based embedded vision project can be tricky. Locating all the components you need, getting them to talk to each other, and just getting your system to the video equivalent of “Hello World” is a pretty daunting task. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Avery Williams of Microchip Technology about the Hello FPGA kit - a low-cost, low-touch embedded vision kit for engineers new to FPGAs.
