Consumer trust is a foundational element of any successful business, yet many companies don’t pay enough attention to tampering prevention in their products and systems.
A single case of tampering can trigger recalls, lawsuits, and lost customers, and negative press spreads quickly. Once trust is broken, rebuilding it is very difficult and expensive. In this podcast, we talk to Chris Morrison, VP of Product Marketing at Agile Anal...
As demand for memory in AI servers continues to grow, suppliers are shifting focus. This is creating new challenges for the automotive industry. Longer lead times, tighter supply, and shifting product strategies are forcing automakers and suppliers to rethink how they plan and design systems, raising the risk of component shortages and costly redesigns.
In this episode of Inside Electronics, host Alix Palture sits down with Jun Kaw...
The use of chiplets to create advanced systems-on-chip (SoCs) can deliver cost-effective solutions with better performance and lower power consumption, compared to monolithic chips. However, without proper standards and regulations, variations in chipsets could lead to incompatibility issues that can stifle development. Recently, Arm introduced the Chiplet System Architecture (CSA), providing a set of partitioning and connectivity ...
We sat down with Daan Kuitenbrouwer, Co-Founder at Delft Circuits, to talk about the company’s effort in that direction. Delft’s Cri/oFlex superconducting cables replace conventional wiring inside cryostats, delivering higher channel density, lower thermal load, and proven reliability at scale in quantum and cryogenic systems.
Sometimes it seems that we are on the verge of adequately commercializing autonomous driving, and then it seems like it'll never happen. We talk about the application space and the technology required with Dr. Stefan Poledna, co-founder, CTO, and CEO of TTTech Auto.
AI and data center growth are putting unprecedented pressure on memory infrastructure, and the industry is feeling the effects. In this episode of Inside Electronics, host Alix Palture speaks with Brian Watson, Marketing Manager for Customized Memory Solutions at Winbond, about the challenges created by the rapid shift toward HBM and DDR5, the ongoing shortage of DDR4, and why legacy memory technologies remain essential for many re...
With the advance of wide-bandgap power semiconductors in the marketplace, many are starting to feel that the time is getting short for silicon-based power electronics. However, the fundamental structure of the silicon power MOSFET remained largely unchanged, and there is still a window of opportunity to develop next-generation devices that can leverage the maturity and expertise of the silicon processing industry.
Enterprise and Data Center SSD Form Factors (EDSFF) include E1 and E3 that have supplanted the conventional M.2 and 2.5-in form factors like U.2 in high end servers. M.2 slots are often found on motherboards but server removable drives are now dominated by EDSFF that support the latest PCI Express-based NVMe interfaces that provide massive throughput. In this episode, Sebastien Jean, Chief Technology Officer at Phison Electronics, ...
For more than six decades, Cinch Connectivity Solutions has addressed the demanding requirements of applications such as space exploration, delivering reliable, cost-effective solutions by leveraging its global team of expert engineers, manufacturing, and sales support. Cinch Connectivity Solutions’ CIN::APSE provides high-reliability, high-performance solderless, high-density interconnects for board-to-board, flex-to-board, and co...
This episode of Inside Electronics explores how a “power renaissance” is reshaping electronic design, with capacitors playing a central role. Host Alix Paultre speaks with Eduardo Drehmer, VP of Product Marketing at TDK Electronics, about rising power demands from AI, data centers, and electric vehicles, and how this pushes efficiency, thermal management, and reliability to the forefront.
Alix and Eduardo explain how multilayer cer...
The Greater Sacramento Economic Council (GSEC) recently spent time in Europe visiting various cities and attending major trade shows in Germany to build bridges and expand contacts in the electronics industry. In this podcast, we talk to Troels Adrian, EVP of the Greater Sacramento Economic Council, about the council’s efforts as well as some of their success stories.
This episode of Inside Electronics features Alix Paultre, Editor at Large for Electronic Design, and Dr. Hugo Guzman, Product Marketing Manager-Integrated Circuits at Littelfuse. Alix and Hugo discuss how smart solid-state relays (SSRs) are reshaping residential, commercial, and industrial building automation.
As engineers pack more HVAC controls, access systems, smart thermostats, sensors, and wireless modules into existing infras...
AI has been a powerful force in the embedded electronics industry, although it is still in its infancy. It has a great promise to automate systems in every facet of the industry, yet it isn’t a silver bullet (yet). In this episode, we talk to Rudy Sengupta, VP & General Manager of Emerson NI, about the company’s latest efforts in the space.
Axelera’s artificial intelligence processing unit is akin to the neural processing units (NPU) and are designed to handle AI inferencing while using very little power. Their quad core Metis AIPUs delivers 214 TOPs at under 4 W. It is available as a chip as well as on boards like their M.2 module. The company's latest Europa delivers up to 629 TOPs and can handle even more streams. Alexis Crowell, General Manager of Americas & G...
In this episode of the Inside Electronics podcast, we explore how modern industrial automation relies on robust, well designed power supplies to keep demanding systems running reliably. Host Alix Paultre, Editor-at-Large of Electronic Design, speaks with Mike Swenson, Marketing Manager for TRACO North America, about why industrial environments are among the toughest places for electronics, from electrical noise and extreme temperat...
For our 100th Inside Electronics podcast we decided to get some of the Electronic Design editors together to discuss a range of topics addressing technology trends in 2026. In this episode we touch on topics that the editors chose from processing hardware to power transistors. We hope you enjoy it. Stay tuned for more on Inside Electronics.
Presented as the most compact 8-channel oscilloscope with MSO, generator, and a large (11.6-inch) display, the R&S MXO 3 Series puts a lot of functionality in a small package. In this episode, Alix Paultre and Rohde & Schwarz's Noha Ibrahim discusses the company's latest oscilloscope.
While at least a dozen companies offer excellent solutions to deliver the ultra-high currents required to power modern GPUs, Ferric developed a unique capability to integrate thin-film magnetic power inductors within their devices’ packages that eliminates the need for bulky external components. As a result, they can create chip-scale power converters that integrate interface, telemetry, feedback control, and powertrain circuitry.

There are all kinds of virtual machines (VM) available and many are being employed in embedded applications. Platforms like the Java virtual machine (JVM) are used on servers and embedded applications with features like garbage collection. Unfortunately, these can have a lot of overhead making them less desirable for small, microcontroller-based systems. Rolf Segger, Founder of Segger Microcontroller Systems, talks about the compan...
The cloud and IoT are growing and expanding in complexity in a variety of ways as the core technologies behind the devices and related infrastructure evolve and mature. In this episode, we talk to Nebu Philips, Senior Director, Strategy & Business Development at Synaptics, about where we are and where we want to go with edge computing, AI, and the Cloud.
