In Part 2 our conversation with Power Integrations' Peter Vaughan, we'll take a more in-depth look at the technology that is already available for electric vehicles (EVs) as well as the path that lies ahead. The last time, we covered every aspect of the history of the electric car, which led us naturally to the present day and the introduction of the brand name Tesla, which has had a major impact on the competitive landscape of EVs. However, what are some other names that are contributing to innovation? In today's episode of EE Times Current, we will learn more about the cutting-edge technology that goes into electric vehicles.

After that, Sunny discusses the interview with Giulia D’Angelo from the Italian Institute of Technology and Ralph Etienne-Cummings from Johns Hopkins University.

In this episode of the Brains and Machines podcast, EE Times regular Sunny Bains talks to Professor Giacomo Indiveri, from the Institute of Neuroinformatics in Zurich. They talk about building biologically-plausible neural circuits in silicon, the trade-offs involved in using analog and digital circuits, and how the technology has been translated into startups. After that, Sunny discusses the interview with Giulia D’Angelo from the Italian Institute of Technology and Ralph Etienne-Cummings from Johns Hopkins University.

In this episode of the Brains and Machines podcast, EE Times regular Sunny Bains talks to Dr Mitra Hartmann, Professor of both Biomedical and Mechanical Engineering at Northwestern University, and head of their sensory and neural engineering group. They discuss the ways in which modelling animal perceptual systems—in her case, the rat—can make us better at both understanding the brain and building technology. After that, Sunny discusses the interview with Giulia D’Angelo from the Italian Institute of Technology and Ralph Etienne-Cummings from Johns Hopkins University.

Being a power engineer is like being a soccer goalie: no one notices you unless you fail and let one in. And if you’re controlling enough power, EVERYONE will notice because failure is typically accompanied by a startling bang and a cloud of smoke. Wide Bandgap technology, and GaN in particular, is relatively new, so how can a responsible engineer be convinced that the technology is ready for prime time and avoid an own-goal, particularly in application spaces where lives or big bags of money are riding on uninterrupted operation?Our guest today is Doug Bailey, VP of Marketing and Applications Engineering at Power Integrations. Mr. Bailey joined Power Integrations in 2004. Prior to joining PI, Mr. Bailey worked in a number of semiconductor marketing roles in Silicon Valley, and in the distant past, designed DSP and image processing ICs.

In this podcast, Nitin Dahad, editor in chief of Embedded.com, talks to Maryam Rofougaran, CEO and co-founder of Movandi, about 5G mmWave in terms of trends, opportunities and challenges for deployment, and what progress she expects over the next 18 months or so.

ue to today’s connected world, a high volume of valuable data, susceptible to tampering and physical attacks, is processed, stored, and moved between devices, cars, and data centers. With each connected device comes more data to process and ultimately secure through various interfaces and systems to the cloud. Security is on center stage in the semiconductor industry, and all interfaces and data that move across them need to be secure. Even if all the base-level protocols and standards are met, designers must ensure that the entire SoC is protected. Additionally, as technology evolves (such as quantum computing), so do the threats and ways to attack systems, requiring increasingly reliable, resilient security solutions across the board that will be needed worldwide. Synopsys considers security an integral part of design architecture, not an afterthought.In this podcast, we will discuss the fundamentals of securing interfaces and how Synopsys’ Secure Interfaces allows designers to quickly implement the highest
