In this episode of Chalk Talk, Lars Jaskulski from Analog Devices and Amelia Dalton explore the what, where, and how of solenoid actuators. They also investigate the challenges associated with solenoids and solenoid valve control and how Analog Devices’ Quad Smart Serial-Controlled Solenoid and Motor Driver can help detect solenoid plunger movements, improve energy efficiency, lower heat generation and more. 

In this episode of Chalk Talk, John Ferguson from Siemens and Amelia Dalton explore how we can drive 3D IC innovation with Siemens Calibre MultiPhysics Work Flow. They also investigate the implications of thermal issues on 3D IC design, the benefits of multiphysics simulations from the concept stage throughout the design cycle, and the steps included in the Siemens fully automated MultiPhysics Work Flow.

In this episode of Chalk Talk, Neeraj Kumar from Infineon and Amelia Dalton explore the features and benefits of the OPTIGA™ Authenticate NBT. They investigate the security elements, key hardware aspects and data transfer rates of this solution and how it can enable ultra-fast, contactless NFC communication between IoT devices and contactless readers.

In this episode of Chalk Talk, Jiri Keprda from STMicroelectronics and Amelia Dalton explore the benefits of the powerSTEP01 is a system-in-package from STMicroelectronics. They also examine how this solution can streamline overall position control architecture, the high level commands included in this solution and the variety of advanced diagnostics included in the powerSTEP01 system-in-package.
