  • Moving Back to Software

    We’ve seen it before: the debate between hardware and software for implementing electronic functions. An oft-cited approach is to keep as much as possible in…

  • Ban Power Consumption

    “How much power does it consume?” This has been a key question ever since I started work as a product engineer many years ago. Heck,…

  • Micro-Windmill Surprise

    It’s one of those good problems. You’ve been doing some exploratory MEMS work. Your main focus is biomedical – implants for dealing with prostate cancer.…

  • Power Bank SoCs

    I ask a lot of stupid questions because usually they’re not stupid. Occasionally one is. OK, maybe not outright stupid, but I certainly felt out…

  • Are Diamonds the Coolest?

    It’s not every day you get to hold a diamond whose size is on the order of inches (or cm, for those of you that…

  • More Than Power Structures

    With the multi-domain power beasts being designed into today’s SoCs, it’s easy to miss a detail. Which is why verification is so much more important…

  • Big and Little Core Combos

    A long while back ARM introduced their big.LITTLE concept. (So cute how they put the big in little letters and the little in big letters!…

  • Concurrent Sign-off Analysis

    I’m getting a sense that we’re back into the small-company-friendly phase of the EDA company cycle. A number of newcomers (which means they’ve been around…

  • Correlating Power with Code

    The smarter systems get, the more they are run by some kind of processor running code. So system functions that might have been controlled by…

  • Power Hungry

    A keynote at the recent MEMS Executive Congress by TI’s Ajith Amerasekera discussed, among other things, power and battery requirements for handling our increasingly digital,…
