EEcosystem Podcast Episodes

Ken Wyatt discusses EMC tips and tricks he’s developed over decades to help engineers diagnose and troubleshoot EMC issues right from their workbench. He’s published his knowledge in a popular book trilogy we talk about in this episode.

Most factors that affect Signal Integrity are well-understood by many professional engineers. However, a whole new paradigm shift has emerged over the last twenty years as SI has moved ICs. SI Expert, Donald Telian has helped hundreds of engineers and companies working on thousands of designs around the globe to learn how to solve signal integrity in this new era of SI. Now, Telian is partnering with The EEcosystem to share this knowledge in a series of Masterclass LIVE workshops that are available to the public for the first time. In this episode, Telian explains what attendees can expect to learn and why learning in person with an experienced mentor is so critical for engineers to master these techniques and principles that can be applied immediately.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Bogatin talks about his upcoming activities at DesignCon 2024. He discusses the demonstration he’ll make in the Chiphead Theater, measuring the bandwidth of scope probes. For the first time, his students from CU Boulder High-Speed Digital Engineering Group will have a booth and focus on how low-cost tools and solutions can be used for professional engineers while showing the importance of practical engineering judgment regardless of the tools used. Also discussed is how engineers can find high-quality curated technical content and how to continually learn and grow–one of which is Signal Integrity Journal where Eric is the Technical Editor.

Simon Rance, Director of Product Management at Keysight, discusses process data management and PLM solutions for enterprise hardware silicon and semiconductor design. He explains the differences between data management for hardware and software design, highlighting the need for specialized solutions in the hardware design world. Rance also discusses the importance of traceability and security in data management, particularly in industries like automotive and military aerospace.

In this conversation, Steve Sandler discusses the upcoming DesignCon event and the sessions and presentations he will be giving. He also talks about the new products Picotest has developed for the emerging trend of 2000 amps in data centers and AI. Steve explains the challenges in designing and testing at these power levels and the innovations Picotest has made in cooling and load cells. He emphasizes the importance of the ecosystem and resolving knowledge gaps to keep up with increasing demands. Takeaways: -The trend of 2000 amps in data centers and AI is growing faster than expected, and PicoTest has developed new products to address the challenges in designing and testing at these power levels. -Innovations in cooling and load cells have been made to handle the high power densities and heat dissipation requirements. -The ecosystem and resolving knowledge gaps are crucial in keeping up with the increasing demands of the industry.

The explosion of automotive and industrial sensors is driving the demand for new cutting-edge ADC sensor technology. This week Kyle Stone of Texas Instruments discusses how this proliferation of sensor technologies has driven TI to innovate and create both on-chip and discrete ADC sensor solutions and what's available for engineers to meet these growing challenges.

Keysight RF subject matter expert and YouTuber, Anurag Bhargava, discusses 3D RF module design and the challenges engineers face in integrating dissimilar technologies into a small form factor. He emphasizes the need for an open and interoperable ecosystem of design tools to address these challenges. Bhargava also highlights the importance of simulation and characterization in ensuring system-level performance and reliability.
