By Asem Elshimi, RF Design Engineer The recent developments in the American culture and policy regarding race, gender, and immigration have triggered a new form of national awareness regarding diversity. Like American society, the semiconductor industry is diverse. A good proportion of immigrants enter the country on a STEM student visa and then join the […]

How to create energy-efficient IIoT sensor nodes
by Noel O’Riordan and Tommy Mullane, S3 Semiconductors When you’re designing sensor node devices destined for the industrial internet of things (IIoT), chances are they need to be battery-powered. And given the number of these expected to be deployed, and their often-remote locations, changing or charging a battery frequently isn’t an option. Your device, therefore, needs […]
PM Champion to receive award for helping advance technology applications
Chad Spore, staff engineer, Enterprise Materials Engineering, John Deere Waterloo Works Drivetrain Operations, Waterloo, IA, has been selected to receive the Vanguard Award from the Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF). The award recognizes powder metallurgy (PM) industry champions from the end-user community whose long-time promotion of the technology has contributed to the expansion of powder […]
Early warning for EMC problems
Engineers who wait until the end of the design phase to check for unwanted electromagnetic emissions run the risk of incurring big delays. Bruce Rose | CUI Inc. One design activity often left to the end of a project is the verification a product meets electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) emissions requirements. Considering EMC compliance earlier in […]
How power supply efficiency has evolved
The latest DoE energy efficiency requirements won’t be the last. Here are a few of the changes in efficiency regulations the power supply industry can expect. Authored by Inventus Power As early as the 1990s studies showed that smaller external power supplies — such as those powering cell phone chargers, game boxes, cordless phones, and […]
RS-232 and related standards, Part 1
High-speed, high-performance “just plug and go” wired-communications interfaces such as Ethernet and USB are in wide use. In contrast, the technically ancient RS-232 standard and related standards seem like antique museum pieces with no design-in interest. However, that is a simplistic view of the reality. Although not necessarily the first choice or obvious choice in […]
Analog Devices, imec partner to create utlra-low power sensor devices for IoT
Imec, and Analog Devices, Inc. announced they have entered into a strategic research partnership to develop the next generation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. With two initiatives already underway, imec and ADI aim to innovate devices that are not only low-power but that also come with largely improved—or completely new—sensing capabilities. The IoT continues […]
