Podcast EP258: How Pragmatic Semiconductor Opens New Markets with Non-Silicon, Bendable Technology
Dan is joined by Dr. Emre Ozer, Senior Director of Processor Development at Pragmatic Semiconductor. With 67 worldwide patents, and over 60 peer-reviewed publications to his name, he has extensive experience in CPU microarchitecture with particular expertise in performance modelling, fault tolerant CPUs, embedded machine learning, application-specific hardware design, and flexible electronics. Emre spent more than 17 years as Senior Principal Research Engineer at Arm.
Emre provides a comprehensive overview of the unique technology of Pragmatic Semiconductor in this informative discussion with Dan. He describes the non-silicon, flexible manufacturing technology offered by the company and covers some of its advantages regarding cost, cycle time and environmental impact.
Emre then describes the company’s recently announced Flex-RV, an ultralow-cost, bendable, 32-bit RISC-V microprocessor that also includes a programmable machine learning (ML) hardware accelerator. Emre describes a broad array of “extreme edge” applications for the device, such as implantable, wearable and ingestible.
Emre also talks about what’s next at Pragmatic Semiconductor in the area of flexible MCUs.
