My recent article about language drift in electronics over the past half century or so (see “Old Electronics Terms Show Language Drift Over the Decades”) seems to have generated a lot of interest, so let’s take another time-traveling walk through the same time period, and let’s focus on how young people might … Read More → "The Past, Present, and Future of Electronics as a Hobby"
How about some WiFi 6 and 6E to start your Friday!? My podcast guest this week is Sivaram Trikutam (Infineon – Vice President of Wi-Fi). Sivaram and I discuss the advancements in the world of WiFi and Bluetooth, why interoperability and standardization are crucial to global IoT adoption and the benefits that Infineon’s new AIROC™ Wi-Fi connected microcontrollers bring to IoT applications. Also this week, I check out a new … Read More → "Speeding Down the Digital Highway: WiFi 6/6E and the Infineon’s New Connected MCUs"
I remember when the first FPGA waved a cheery hello to the world back in 1985. (I know I’ve talked about this before, but there are always new members to the EE Journal Community who weren’t around when many of the technologies we now take for granted originally appeared on the scene.) This little scamp was the Xilinx XC2064, which boasted an 8×8=64 array of configurable logic … Read More → "GOWIN’s “Golly Gosh” Low-Cost High-Performance FPGAs"
I was just taking a trip down memory lane, remembering how things used to be when I was but a lad. Since the dawn of time, all the way through to the end of the 1960s, for example, electronic circuit diagrams (schematics) were captured by hand using pencil and paper. Similarly, circuit layouts at both the board and silicon chip level were largely handcrafted.

Literally the day after writing the article about the Microchip PolarFire SoC Discovery Kit based on the company’s PolarFire SoC FPGA, Microchip gave me a preview of two closely related products. The new products, announced last month, are the company’s PIC64GX microcontroller and a development board for this microcontroller called the PIC64GX Curiosity Kit. The PolarFire SoC Discovery Kit discussed in my previous … Read More → "Microchip unveils PIC64 family of RISC-V multicore processor chips for Earth and for space"
My guest this week is Chad Lucien from Ceva! Chad and I talk all about the future of edge AI, the advantages of TinyML, and Ceva’s NeuPro NPUs. Chad and I also discuss about the motivation to behind the creation of Ceva’s new NeuPro-Nano NPU, the details of the architecture of this new NPU family, the benefits that their AI SDK brings to the table, and why … Read More → "TinyML, NPUs and AI SDK: Ceva’s Guide to IoT innovation"
