Devices are becoming more intelligent and can be tailored to be patient-specific, making a medical device that not only provides for the whole population, but can also really target the patient cohort or the target group of the disease or condition that must be treated or diagnosed.
There are many recent advances that have enabled medical advice development, from the sensors to the software, and in this episode, we talk to Dr. Visa Suomi from MathWorks about the complexity and inter-functionality of advanced medical devices.

All electrical systems need power and these days most systems need a steady, efficient, and cost-effective source. Solutions like switched mode power supplies (SMPS) are now common but not necessarily easy to design or select.
Guest host Bill Wong talks with Frederik Dostal, a power supply expert with Analog Devices and also the author of the regular Dostal’s Design video/article series covering power supply design tips.

Today’s system-on-chips (SoC) are very complex. They have multiple cores and often many different types of cores including CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs. Connecting these to peripherals and memory as well typically include one or more network-on-chips (NoC).
In this podcast, guest host Bill Wong talks with Andy Nightingale, VP Product Management and Marketing at Arteris, about NoCs.
-
In this episode of Inside Electronics, Senior Content Director Bill Wong talks with Steve Brightfield, CMO at BrainChip, about neuromorphic computing in the form of spiking neural networks (SNN). SNNs take an event-based approach to artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML).
Brainchip's Akido technology implements SNNs in hardware providing similar acceleration support that existing neural processing units (NPU) provide but with significantly better performance and lower power requirements.
-
Industrial automation is getting real (time) with time sensitive networking (TSN). This open standard delivers determinism to Ethernet control networks and it works with wireless networks as well.
Senior Content Director Bill Wong talks with Tom Burke, Global Strategic Advisor, CC-Link Partner Association (CPLA) about how TSN works and why it is so important to industrial automation applications.
-
The Maker Movement is a relatively new phenomenon in society...or is it? The desire to understand technology and create things is a drive that has existed in people since the first devices were created. We sit down with Electronic Design editors Andy Turudic and Cabe Atwell for a discussion about the Maker Movement, Tinkerers, and engineering.
-
In this episode, Andy Turudic talks with Georgia Tech’s Professor Shaolan Li about their ECE department’s new analog IC design course where close to a dozen teams of three undergrad and one graduate student are fully hands-on designing real silicon, from schematic through tapeout, with resumption of the course to perform functional verification in a returning semester, after fabrication on a 300mm wafer by Texas Instruments.
-
Making logic chips has never been an easy task, and it is one that has been further challenged by advances in scaling as well as advanced topologies like chiplets. From the race to 2nm-foundry creation for next-generation wafer development and the related issues of packaging, engineers must develop new solutions. In this episode, we talk to Henri Richard, GM and president of Rapidus Design Solutions, about the state of the art and the solutions his company is developing.
-
The growth in high-performance computing and AI in advanced chip architectures is creating issues when it comes to intra-chip data management, especially as they migrate to chiplet-based topologies. Addressing this chip-level issue, Avicena announced its scalable LightBundle chiplet interconnect solution, offering ultra-high density die-to-die connections with a multi-Tbps/mm shoreline bandwidth density at sub-pJ/bit energy efficiency. In this podcast we talk to Bardia Pezeshki, Founder and CEO of Avicena, about the issues of intra-chip data management and his company’s solution.

The expansion of AI in the latest application spaces is creating problems at the board and chip level, as over 90% of the power consumption in AI workloads is from the movement of data. The ability to shorten data paths by moving the compute element closer to where the data is stored can reduce power consumption significantly.
This would also enable an unprecedented increase in compute density. In this podcast we talk to Robert Beachler, Vice President of Product at Untether AI, a company launched with the goal of addressing the major compute and efficiency bottleneck, memory access and data management.
