Finger-friendly DPOT pushbuttons do ups, downs, and dittos
Simple circuit saves hard-working fingers from unnecessary wear and tear.
Digital potentiometers (DPOTs) with manual up/down increment/decrement interfaces can have real utility as versatile substitutes for traditional electromechanical pots.…
Why a nine-month AI chip tape-out matters
AI-assisted chip design is not new. What is new is seeing an advanced ASIC reach tape-out in roughly nine months. The significance is not that AI can optimize individual design tasks; the industry already knows that. Synopsys and others have…
Enhancing SoC HW/SW co-verification with FPGA-based prototyping
The use of hardware assisted verification (HAV) technologies was once a luxury, “nice to have” technology for IC design. Because of the costs associated with HAV, especially for the “big box” logic emulators, it was mainly leveraged…
Deepfakes
Fakery methods, and their impacts on those who are particularly easily fooled, have advanced dramatically in recent times.
My wife and I recently saw the movie Disclosure Day, in which an extra-terrestrial being comes to earth and after much…
