Embedded Computing Design

Ambiq just announced the next generation of its SoC CPU family, named Apollo4. The parts are built on TSMC's 22-nm ULL process.

We are seeing an increase in the use of AI for medical/healthcare applications. There are many advantages that can be realized through the use of Medical AI.

RISC-V gets a lot of attention as an open-source ISA. Is that attention warranted? The answer, unfortunately, is that it depends. It depends on what problem you're trying to solve.

Firmware is becoming the new software. If you believe that, as Bob Scaccia, President and CEO of USA Firmware does, we are at the beginning of a new era, and we had better be prepared for it.

It is quite innovative, if it's for you. I'm referring to a smart phone app developed by Maxim Integrated, called the Essential Analog IC smartphone app.

To understand how to design at the Edge, I spoke to Steven Wu, Vice President of the Research and Development Center at DFI in this week's Embedded Executives podcast.

The bandwidth for LoRaWAN is really low, compared to something like WiFi. However, if you use the protocol for things that don't require high bandwidth, it works well (at least I was surprised).

The company is close to commercializing wireless charging, where the charging is done at a distance of a few feet. Check out this week's Embedded Executives podcast.

Blaize introduced the company's first AI computing hardware and software solutions aimed specifically at the Edge of the IoT, dubbed the Pathfinder and Xplorer platforms and the AI Software Suite.

I invited Vineet Ganju, a Vice President at Synaptics as my guest on this week's Embedded Executives podcast.
