Episodes
The electronic design industry is always in a pattern of development and re-development as it forges into the future. But what about the communities involved? There are two sides to that story: the customers in the community, who use the products and services created, and the municipalities and governments looking for investment and development. In this episode, we talk to Don Cunningham, President and CEO of Lehigh Valley Economic...
The Robot Operating System (ROS) is middleware that can be used for almost any type of robotic platform including self-driving cars. ROS is an open-source system hosted at ROS.org. It runs a top conventional operating systems like Linux and Windows and has been used in many robotic applications.
In this episode of Inside Electronics, we talk with Jan Becker, CEO at Apex.ai, about ROS and how it is being used in automotive applica...
Today’s cloud is a polylingual, multi-spectral, multiple-methodology ecosystem, meaning that devices must become more intelligent to encompass it and operate in an optimal fashion. Today, one must have a wireless strategy for Wi-Fi, public cellular, private cellular, and IoT wireless backhaul. Companies like Nextivity offer solutions that enable wireless functionality for voice and data, with systems that are network safe and have ...
Residential energy storage is undergoing rapid innovation, driven by the need for efficient solar energy utilization and dynamic grid participation. Texas Instruments' Henrik Magnesson emphasizes that as feed-in tariffs decline and market-driven energy pricing becomes prevalent, homeowners will increasingly turn to battery energy storage systems (ESS) to store excess solar generation for use during peak demand, to charge EVs, or to...
This first, of a two part series, Inside Electronics podcast, guest-hosted by technology editor Andy Turudic of Electronic Design, features Henrik Mannesson, General Manager of Grid Infrastructure and Power Delivery Industrial Systems at Texas Instruments (TI), discussing the evolving landscape of energy infrastructure with a focus on the pivotal role of semiconductors in the renewable energy transition.
Not every microcontroller can handle artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) chores. Simplifying the models is one way to squeeze algorithms into a more compact embedded compute engine. Another way is to pair it with an AI accelerator like Femtosense’s Sparse Processing Unit (SPU) SPU-001 and take advantage of sparsity in AI/ML models.
In this episode, Sam Fok, CEO at Femtosense, talks about AI/ML on the edge, the comp...
As navigation becomes increasingly vulnerable to jamming, spoofing, or complete denial, military forces operating in contested environments face significant challenges, not just in navigation, but in coordination, safety, and mission success. ANELLO Photonics has developed an innovative Silicon Photonics Optical Gyroscope (SiPhOG) to serve autonomous vehicles using silicon photonics, accelerometers, and gyroscopes for accurate and ...
In this episode, we talk to Jerry Twomey, an engineering consultant with a deep background in electronics design, medical devices, electro-mechanical systems, and board-level integrated circuits. He is the author of the book “Applied Embedded Electronics – Design Essentials for Robust Systems," a comprehensive reference that covers the design process from initial concept to final PCB, for all embedded system electronics.
Mike Engelhardt is an American computer programmer, author, and entrepreneur who is renowned for developing the SPICE-based analog electronic circuit simulator computer software. Known for his wide-brimmed hat and bow tie, Mike is the innovative mind behind Qorvo’s simulator, QSPICE, and is not just known for his technical acumen, but also for his often unconventional approach to engineering. In this podcast, we get to sit down wit...
Penetrating deep space to unlock the secrets of the universe, the ESO Extremely Large Telescope uses adaptive optics to correct for atmospheric disturbances to extract more light, achieving higher-resolution imaging.
Among the technologies required, Microgate provides the control systems that mechanically deform the mirror to manipulate the observed wavefront to correct for atmospheric disturbances and improve the image quality us...
The 2025 IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTT-S) International Microwave Symposium is taking place from the 15th to the 20th of June 2025 in San Francisco, California.
In this podcast, we talk to Jin Baines, the CEO of Mini-Circuits, and Wendy Shu, the CEO of Eravant, about the event and some of the opportunities it provides to visitors.
The Eclipse Foundation's Eclipse SDV Working Group supports an open source platform for software defined vehicles (SDV). This takes a lot of work from participating companies like Codethink.
In this podcast, William Wong chats with Codethink’s President, John Ellis, about the challenges of using open source software in this arena.
Traditional vision systems based on cameras are really geared towards image storage, not image processing, and certainly don't detect motion, and you have to compare video frame-by-frame to figure out if something moves. In this episode, we talk to SiLC Technologies CEO, Dr. Mehdi Asghari, about the state of the art in machine vision and what the company is doing in that space.
Electric motors play a key role in converting electrical power into motive power. This episode of Inside Electronics has Andy chatting with Turntide, a designer and manufacturer of axial flux motors, about the operating principles and optimal applications for AFMs, including diesel hybrids, tidal power generation, ship propulsion, and military use for land, sea and air.
Spiking neural networks (SNN) are an implementation of neuromorphic computing, an aspect of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML). Neuromorphic computing emulates the operation of physical neurons like those found in the human brain.
In this episode, Electronic Design’s Senior Content Director, Bill Wong, talks with Steven Brightfield, Chief Marketing Officer at Brainchip, about SNNs and their Akida platform.
In this episode, William Wong talks with with Andrew Banks, Technical Specialist at LDRA. LDRA’s MISRA C/C++ support is a central piece of its static analysis tools that exceed the requirements of MISRA C/C++. MISRA C:2012 offered new guidelines and the latest MISRA C standard is MISRA C:2023. MISRA C++ is a separate standard but with the same approach to improving developer’s coding process.
When it comes to wireless systems, we are in a disruptive evolutionary phase, with an interesting combination of multiple advanced solutions looking for application spaces to address. In this episode, Host Alix Paultre chats with Viavi's Ian Wong about upcoming technological advancements in the wireless and telecommunications space.
Conventional image sensors capture a frame at a time while event-based vision sensors track changes of individual pixels. In this episode, Dr. Luca Verre, Founder of Prophesee, talks about the company's event-based sensor and how it works.
An event-based imaging system can detect changes more accurately while reducing bandwidth and power requirements assuming all of the pixels do not change between frames. This is often the case ...
NOR flash memory has been a mainstay for microcontrollers and microprocessors for code and data storage while NAND flash has been used for data storage. The latter has higher capacity on its side but NOR is the choice where reliability and performance are important.
Electronic Design Editor Bill Wong talks with Miin Wu, Chairman and CEO at Macronix International, about their 3D NOR technology.
