Asset tracking has become an industry on its own thanks to so many new and inexpensive technologies. Whether it’s food, meds, or other valuables, there’s no reason not to know exactly w…
Five Minutes With…Robert Oshana, VP, NXP
The RISC-V ISA has the potential to be a dominant player in the embedded, IoT, and industrial spaces, just to name a few. But before any architecture can take off, it needs a solid ecos…
Five Minutes With…Hugo Fiennes, CEO, Electric Imp
Cloud connectivity is pretty straightforward. You contact AMS or Microsoft, or another provider. You download their tools, and you’re done. Well, maybe it’s not so simple, and that’s wh…
Embedded Insiders: Is There Really an Engineering Shortage, and Why?
Rumors of a shortage of electronics engineers have been circulating for years, but with Fortune 500 technology firms now gobbling up as much engineering talent as possible for IT and en…
Five Minutes With… Ian Mazsa, Director, Vicor
When we discuss AI, the discussion typically revolves around processing or algorithms. But I was reminded recently that power plays a big part in AI. How is that, you ask? Well, check o…
Five Minutes With…Andrew Banks, Chairman, MISRA C Working Group
The reason you should care about MISRA C is a simple one. It stops you from doing things that the C language allows you to do that you really don’t want to do. Well, maybe not so simple…
Five Minutes With…Cees Links, GM, Qorvo
Smart homes are built with lots of sensors. The more sensors you’ve got, the smarter your home (sort of). But you still have to make a fair amount of choices, including which radio you …

Neural nets and simulators. This is not a combination that I would have put together, but after it was explained to me, putting them together makes a lot of sense. If you don’t get the …
Embedded Insiders: Don’t Be Surprised If your Computer Backbone Is 30 (or More) Years Old
New computer architectures come along all the time. Some stand the test of time while others get EOLed (end of lifed) pretty quickly. Why is that? Is it for technical reasons, marketing…
Five Minutes with…Doug Bailey, VP, Power Integrations
USB-PD is a newer specification that deals with the power that can be derived from a USB port. It’s quite an important spec and one that has lots of potential. Unfortunately, it’s one o…
