Ansys' Bill Vandermark unearths the top five engineering articles for this week. Check out the ship-based laser weapon used to destroy drones. There's also a product called The Sphere that allows you to do strange things like answer the phone by tapping on the refrigerator. Bet you didn't think of that one. Cadence's Steve Carlson lists the top five things that can go wrong in mixed signal ... » read more

Blog Review: Dec. 10

ARM's Brad Nemire takes a look at a variety of the latest smart devices. Check out the intelligent frying pan that tells you the temperature, the amount of time needed to cook something, and when it's done. Check out the "Homey," too. You can now give verbal commands to your home. Just don't tell it to roll over. Who needs paper? Or more accurately, who needs more than one sheet of paper—e... » read more

Signal And Power Integrity Cross Paths
By Ed Sperling - 05 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 2

Signal integrity and power integrity historically have been relatively independent issues, and engineers with expertise in one area generally operate independently of the other. But as more power domains are added to conserve energy and allow more features, as voltages are reduced to save battery life, and as dynamic power becomes more of a concern at advanced nodes, these worlds are suddenly m... » read more

Building A Better Customized Debug And Trace Solution For Multi-Core SoCs
By Mayank Sharma - 04 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

If you think of debug as solving a murder case through the use of backward reasoning, then trace is the video surveillance that helps pinpoint the culprit. Trace is invaluable as it provides real-time visibility into errors, and dramatically cuts down on design cycles and iterations. A recent study done by Cambridge University found that the global cost of software debugging has risen to the... » read more

Energy Harvesting Makes Progress
By Ed Sperling - 04 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

The dream of a self-powered device has been around for a long time—thousands of years, in fact. The first windmills and waterwheels date back to ancient Greece and the beginning of recorded history. Self-winding timepieces date back to the late 1700s. The Foucault pendulum has been in motion in Paris, minus some brief hiatuses, since 1851. And it's been 144 years since two French physicists d... » read more

Blog Review: Dec. 3
By Ed Sperling - 03 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

Mentor's Robin Bornoff zeroes in on some of the biggest and most frustrating causes of energy loss—the ones that have nothing to do with the intended task. In electronics, it's a question of how much power is consumed pushing around electrons and photons. Cadence's Richard Goering follows a panel discussion about whether we're really making progress in low-power design, where the challeng... » read more

Blog Review: Nov. 26

Mentor's Nazita Saye has stumbled on a defibrillating drone that can rescuscitate victims well before emergency services arrive. That's a new one. ARM's Brad Nemire has found an interesting new Kickstarter device, too. It measures everything from heart beat to body posture with earlobe sensors. Cadence's Brian Fuller follows a speech by economist Austan Goolsbee, who is optimistic about t... » read more
