This week’s podcast is all about electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft! Matt McAlonis from TE Connectivity and I explore the biggest design challenges for eVTOLs, strategies for managing power effectively within eVTOL systems, complexities of complying with new eVTOL certification requirements, and what Matt thinks it will take for eVTOL aircraft to become mainstream.
I feel like an old fool (but where are we going to find one at this time of the day?). Almost everything I hear on the technology front these days causes me to have a knee-jerk reaction along the lines of, “Things have certainly changed since those far-off days when I was a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, newly-minted engineer!”
As I’ve mentioned before, I … Read More → "Want Automated, Certification-Level RISC-V Verification Coverage?"
Actor Jeff Goldblum recently appeared as a guest host for the Jimmy Kimmel Live! TV show. Kimmel was on vacation. As part of his first-night monologue, Goldblum played piano (he’s an accomplished jazz pianist) and sang a song with references to several of the movies that he’s appeared in over the last four decades. While he was singing, I realized that Goldblum’s … Read More → "Is Jeff Goldblum Hollywood’s go-to person for an on-screen engineer?"
A CNN article written by Jackie Wattles and titled “Why scientists say we need to send clocks to the moon — soon” grabbed my attention and quickly sent me down several rabbit holes that involved some ideas in physics that I knew but had not internalized. First, the moon needs its own timekeeping … Read More → "The Moon Needs Its Own Time Zone. Relativity Says It Also Needs Its Own Clocks"
This week my guest is JITX Co-founder and CEO Duncan Haldane. Duncan and I discuss the challenges of board design and how the benefits of software reuse encouraged the development of JITX, why holistic system design is cornerstone to the JITX software-defined electronics platform, and how you can improve your productivity with the JITX cookbook.

 A game-changer for IP designers: design-stage verificationSponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software In this new technical paper, you’ll gain valuable insights into how, by moving physical verification earlier in the IP design flow, you can locate and correct design errors sooner, reducing costs and getting complex designs to market faster. Dive into the challenges of hard, soft and custom IP creation, and learn how to run targeted, real-time or on-demand physical verification with precision, earlier in the layout process. |
