As semiconductor complexity increases and board designs become denser, manufacturing teams face tighter tolerances, reduced test access, and rising pressure to maintain yield and throughput. Validating RF performance and high-speed digital signal integrity at production scale adds a new layer of complexity that traditional… Read More

Webinar: How Data Rates Doubled, and Where Validation Reaches Its Limit

Webinar: How Data Rates Doubled, and Where Validation Reaches Its Limit
by Admin on 04-13-2026 at 11:27 pm

Data rates have doubled, but validation methods have not kept pace. As PCIe, DDR, and multi-terabit optical interconnects evolve, engineers are encountering signal integrity challenges much earlier in the design process.

Webinar: How Secure Are Your Critical Aerospace & Defense Systems?

Webinar: How Secure Are Your Critical Aerospace & Defense Systems?
by Admin on 01-12-2026 at 8:37 pm

Aerospace, defense, and other mission-critical technologies face rapidly evolving hardware threats. A hobbyist can add a single board computer to a consumer device. A nation-state can scale an exploit across critical infrastructure. The attack surface widens fast, and the security implications are real.

Adversaries are… Read More


An Insight into Building Quantum Computers

An Insight into Building Quantum Computers

Quantum processor courtesy IBM

Given my physics background I’m ashamed to admit I know very little about quantum computers (QC) though I’m now working to correct that defect. Like many of you I wanted to start with the basics: what are the components and systems in the physical implementation of a quantum “CPU” and how do they map to classical CPUs? I’m finding the… Read More

Intel Foundry Direct Connect Hall 4 1024x576

Now that the dust has settled, I will give you my take on the Intel Foundry event. Some might call me a semiconductor event critic as I have attended hundreds of them over the last 40 years starting with the Design Automation Conference in 1984. Foundry events are my favorite because they really are the pulse of the semiconductor industry,… Read More
