Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 04 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

Check out our new Inside Chips podcast. President Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs were announced this week. The executive order stated that semiconductors and copper imports are not directly subject to the reciprocal tariff, although the exemption may be short-lived. Semiconductor equipment and tools were not mentioned, leaving the industry searching for clarification. Regardless, hig... » read more

AI For The Edge: Why Open-Weight Models Matter
By John Weil - 03 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

The rapid advancements in AI have brought powerful large language models (LLMs) to the forefront. However, most high-performing models are massive, compute-heavy, and require cloud-based inference, making them impractical for edge computing. The recent release of DeepSeek-R1 is an early, but unlikely to be the only, example of how open-weight AI models, combined with efficient distillation t... » read more

Considerations And Guidelines For Using High-Voltage CoolGaN Switches In Power Systems
By Infineon - 03 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

The design of an electronic switched-mode power system has always been a complex task, requiring both knowledge and experience. With the appearance of gallium nitride (GaN), this task has even become more complex, because the electrical properties of GaN expand the room for possible system solutions. Particularly the lack of a physical body diode and the lateral device operation enable complete... » read more

Accelerating The Shift To Software-Defined Vehicles
By Marion Heiss - 03 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

The automotive E/E architecture is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the vision of a software-defined vehicle (SDV). This shift is leading to a change from traditional distributed and domain-based architectures to more centralized and mixed domain-zone architectures. Central Electronic Control Units (ECUs) are now powered by sophisticated system-on-chips (SoCs) that combine com... » read more
