Today's podcast includes highlights from the EE Times Education Panel discussion moderated by Nitin Dahad.In celebration of EE Times's 50th anniversary, EE Times held a panel to discuss "How to Expand the Semiconductor Industry Talen Pool" The panel welcomed Mark Lundstrom of Purdue University, Shari Liss from Semi Foundation, David Junkin of Cadence Academic Network, Robert Owen from Imagination Technologies and Brian Failing of NXP Semiconductors.Our panelists address what the talent gap means, bringing talent to the industry, gender equity, and how the traditional chip industry can appeal to a younger generation.

Our guest is Doug Bailey, VP of Marketing and Applications Engineering, Power Integrations; we’re here today to discuss a fascinating topic – Your old beer fridge; and how it’s your home’s power parasite.  

Today we have Dr. Raphael Salmi, global president of Richardson RFPD, an Arrow Electronics Company. Richardson RFPD is a specialized electronic component distributor that differentiates itself by providing deep technical expertise and localized global design support for the latest products from the world’s lead suppliers of RF, Wireless, IoT and Power technologies. Today, we are focusing on one area of that expertise, that being Richardson RFPD’s growing success around the evolving technologies in power conversion and energy storage applications.

On the Weekly Briefing podcast: We talk with Renesas EVP Sailesh Chittepeddi, about the integration of Artificial Intelligence in IoT applications – also known as AioT and how a combination of AI and IoT (AIoT) creates “intelligent” devices that learn from generated data and use these insights to make autonomous decisions.

Today’s feature interview is with Charlie Matar, a Senior Vice President of System Solutions & Ecosystem Enablement Group. We dive into the latest trends in HPC and data centers, the industry’s most significant design challenge, and what the future looks like for today’s market.

Joining us today is Sally Ward-Foxton, a reporter from EETimes.com and podcast host of AI with Sally. We celebrate EE Times' 50th Anniversary, highlight memorable stories and discuss her latest project, "Words to the Wise," an inspirational compilation of interviews featuring the top CEOs in the semiconductor industry.

As PCB complexity increases, flexibility to design changes and higher predictability become the main challenges to meet today’s requirements from the market, mainly shorter time to market, lower costs and improved performances. Modern simulation software are a key solution to those challenges as they not only allow engineers to predict the performances of a PCB at early stage of the design in a short amount of time and with good accuracy, but they also allow to identify the optimized design among a high number of variants. The purpose of this podcast is to show how numerical simulation can improve the ability for electronic engineers to predict and improve PCB reliability performances through simulation

EETimes is excited to announce Brett Brune as its new Editor-in-Chief. We sit down with him to discuss his experience and the plans for the renowned publication.

On the Weekly Briefing podcast: Cavemen discovered fire and man evolved that discovery with inventions to light our way, cook our food and keep us warm. But now, 99% of scientists and the majority of the world agree, we need to change how we think about energy. This generation of engineers is going to obviate the need for fire. Our guest Doug Bailey will discuss the innovations and changes in legislation and regulations; power generation; and efficient electrification. This episode is sponsored by Power Integrations.

On the Weekly Briefing podcast: Electrification is giving automakers an opportunity to completely reimagine what a car is, and what it can be. A conversation exploring new trends and challenges on the road to vehicle electrification with Ryan Manack, director of Automotive Systems Worldwide at Texas Instruments.  

On the Weekly Briefing podcast: Cable broadband has been figuratively bullet-proof for roughly two decades. Now cable is prepping multi-gigabit connectivity. A conversation with CableLabs CEO Phil McKinney, an evangelist for innovation, about 10G cable broadband, ethical innovation, 3-D light-field displays, half of 13, and more.    

On the Weekly Briefing podcast: The greatest recognition for engineers is the IEEE Medal of Honor. This year, it was bestowed upon Asad Madni, who developed a MEMS device for positional stability that became a critical component in motor vehicles, aircraft, and even the Hubble Telescope. Madni is our guest this week; we talk about sensor technology, and the marvelous things that might be possible combining sensors with artificial intelligence.

On the Weekly Briefing podcast: The metaverse doesn’t exist. But what technologies are being pursued now that will get us to the metaverse? A conversation with CapGemini Engineering CSO Jiani Zhang about virtual reality, tactile suits, digital twins, and the big hairy problem everybody is avoiding talking about: the metaverse’s data challenge.

On the Weekly Briefing podcast: In 1967, three NASA astronauts were testing in preparation for the launch of Apollo 1. As they sat on the launch pad, a fire was sparked in their command module. None of them survived, despite some extraordinary efforts of those outside on the launch pad. Among them, there is one man still living, and he recently related, for the very first time, his experiences of that tragic day. Our guest this week is Matthew Beddingfield, grandson of James Gleaves, who helped try to save the Apollo 1 astronauts all those years ago.    

On the Weekly Briefing podcast: We talk with Renesas EVP Sailesh Chittipeddi about the distinct requirements of industrial internet of things (IIoT) applications, and about new technologies that are enabling end-users to push the edge of the IIoT further and further out. Also, the biggest beneficiaries of recent maneuvers by Intel and Nvidia are probably advocates of the RISC-V architecture – a conversation with Keven Krewell and Steve Leibson of Tirias Research. This episode sponsored by Renesas.

On the Weekly Briefing podcast: Our guest this week is Matt Gutierrez of Synopsys. We’ve heard about how the Internet of things is pulling computing from centralized processing centers (notably data centers) into ever more physically remote locales — in other words, the IoT is pushing the network edge farther and farther out. But how is that actually accomplished? A big part of the answer is: with artificial intelligence. This episode sponsored by Synopsys.  

On the Weekly Briefing podcast: Last summer the US Senate passed the CHIPS Act. The House just passed its own bill. Now what? Well, there’s plenty more that has to be done, and doing it doesn’t look like it’s going to be easy. This week, where we are with the political effort to revive US domestic semiconductor capabilities. With EE Times editor George Leopold.

On the Weekly Briefing podcast: Contract manufacturers are uniquely positioned to evaluate the condition of an entire supply chain, from parts manufacturers to end customers. This week our guest is Derek Kane, vice president of KMC Systems, which plays an important role in supporting the medical electronics industry.
