Things are moving fast in AI space (where no one can hear you scream). For example, I first became aware of the concept of “Agentic AI” only a couple of months ago as I pen these words. Now, I find that this bodacious beauty is already being deployed in factories and semiconductor fabs to transform manufacturing and prevent costly machine downtimes. I tell you, I’m too … Read More → "Agentic AI Prevents Costly Machine Downtime in Factories and Semiconductor Fabs"
It just struck me that we are rapidly approaching the end of 2025. In turn, this means we’re poised to plunge headfirst into 2Q 21C, which is a notation I’ve just invented to indicate “The second quarter of the 21st century.” Feel free to share this nugget of knowledge and tidbit of trivia with your family and friends (you’re welcome).

My podcast guests this week are Celera Semiconductor CEO Pat Brockett and COO Alberto Viviani! Pat, Alberto and I discuss the trends driving the need for custom analog solutions and how Celera is looking to revolutionize analog chip design through AI-driven automation. Also this week, I check out a new AI-powered smart bandage called a-HEAL.

Ever since I began my career in electronics, analog has been the underdog compared to digital in the realm of automation. In the case of tools and techniques like fault simulation, test coverage, and automatic test pattern generation, the digital world has enjoyed robust support for decades. Meanwhile, analog has typically been relegated to handcrafted efforts and ad-hoc methods. Well, that imbalance just shifted in a dramatic … Read More → "New Auto Test Capability for the Analog Portions of SoCs"
Apropos of nothing at all, I just read a definition of “engineer” that struck a chord. I understand that this was one of five options submitted to EE Times by their readers many moons ago. The definition in question reads as follows: “An engineer is someone who takes the creativity of an artist, the knowledge of a scientist, the imagination of a writer, and the stamina of … Read More → "SiTime Has Unleashed its Titan MEMS Resonators (Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid)"
