Fish Fry Takes On DesignCon

by Amelia Dalton

Eye diagrams, Bert Scopes and more SerDes than anyone knows what to do with...what could it be? DesignCon of course. In this week’s Fish Fry, I look into to why DesignCon was so popular this year and why signal integrity issues were the un-offcial theme of the show. I also interview Brad Griffin of Cadence about why we need power distribution analysis and why he thinks DesignCon is the best show of the year. Read More

Soldering Skills

I recently heard an engineer say something along the lines of "Kids these days can't solder anymore."

I'm curious - how many engineers end up doing at least a little soldering as part of your lab work? How many don't solder at work, but have hobbies...
