My podcast guests this week are Celera Semiconductor CEO Pat Brockett and COO Alberto Viviani! Pat, Alberto and I discuss the trends driving the need for custom analog solutions and how Celera is looking to revolutionize analog chip design through AI-driven automation. Also this week, I check out a new AI-powered smart bandage called a-HEAL.
Ever since I began my career in electronics, analog has been the underdog compared to digital in the realm of automation. In the case of tools and techniques like fault simulation, test coverage, and automatic test pattern generation, the digital world has enjoyed robust support for decades. Meanwhile, analog has typically been relegated to handcrafted efforts and ad-hoc methods. Well, that imbalance just shifted in a dramatic … Read More → "New Auto Test Capability for the Analog Portions of SoCs"
Apropos of nothing at all, I just read a definition of “engineer” that struck a chord. I understand that this was one of five options submitted to EE Times by their readers many moons ago. The definition in question reads as follows: “An engineer is someone who takes the creativity of an artist, the knowledge of a scientist, the imagination of a writer, and the stamina of … Read More → "SiTime Has Unleashed its Titan MEMS Resonators (Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid)"
Speech recognition has become one of the most pervasive AI applications. It’s in our phones, our cars, our call centers—everywhere we need a fast, natural human–machine interface. Training the models that make this work is a cloud-scale GPU problem, but running those models in production—day in and day out—is all about inference. That’s where the economics start to matter.</ … Read More → "FPGAs Find Their Voice: Achronix and the Economics of Speech Recognition"
My podcast guest this week is Athinia CEO Adam Schafer. Adam and I discuss the biggest challenges facing the supply chain today, the actions we can take to help solve those issues and how Athinia’s industry-wide many-to-many ecosystem helps device makers, material suppliers and equipment suppliers share and exchange data.
