Call me an old cynic, if you wish (I’ve been called worse), but I’ve learned to live with disappointment over the years after being tempted on countless occasions with promises of technological delight, only to discover that all is not as it first seems when the curtain is finally pulled back to reveal…
I know, I know. “Pay … Read More → "Finally, a 100% Semiconductor FMCW LiDAR That Truly Is 100% Semiconductor!"
This week we’re talking all about the future of embedded software development with TASKING Co-CEO Christoph Herzog. Christoph and I explore how Large Language Models and agentic AI are moving from novelty to necessity, directing external agents within the TASKING toolchain to automate critical verification and validation tasks. We also discuss the Model Context Protocol (MCP) … Read More → "AI in Safety-Critical Embedded Development: TASKING’s New Approach to Verification and Validation"
Every now and then, I run across something that causes me to exclaim, “Brilliant!” Of course, my job is made somewhat easier when the thing I run across is a company called Brilliant, and easier still if the thing they’ve developed is… dare I say it… BRILLIANT!

Artificial satellites have been on my mind a lot recently. Actually, I’ve been cogitating and ruminating on all sorts of things that are whizzing around over our heads, including satellites, space telescopes, and space debris. But let’s kick off with satellites, which themselves pretty much kicked everything else off.
These include communications, navigation, weather, Earth observation, scientific, military, … Read More → "AI Data Centers in Space: Bonkers or Visionary?"
Shortly after repairing my Keithley 179 digital multimeter (see “The Case of One Dead Digital Multimeter”), the meter failed yet again. After turning it on, all the LED display would do was cycle on and off at a slow 1Hz rate while displaying random readings. A suspiciously loud buzz emanated … Read More → "A Tale of Two Multimeters – Part 2: The Keithley 179 DMM and a journey to Aladdin’s Cave of Wonders"
In this week’s podcast, we’re diving deep into the world of RF system design! My guest is Giorgia Zucchelli from MathWorks. Giorgia and I explore what an RF digital twin is, how it revolutionizes the design and validation workflow, and how AI is playing a critical role in its development.

 Want early design analysis without simulation?Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance. |
