Embedded Executive: The Same Level of Security Is Needed Whether You Have One Device or Millions | Infineon and CommScope
No matter what your end device is, be it a light bulb or a driver’s license, it needs to be secure. I don’t think we need to go through the reasons why it needs to be secure. How you do that is becoming increasingly more difficult. And you may ...

Embedded Executive: Minimize Power in Today’s Data Centers | Point2 Technology
The boom coming from AI is requiring data centers to be built as fast as we can build them. To that end, there is a lot of discussion about the power that’s needed to drive these data centers. What there’s not a lot of discussion about are the ...

Embedded Executive: Thermal Issues Continue to Propagate | Ventiva
For as long as we’ve been designing embedded computers and consumer electronics, we’ve had a problem figuring out how to handle the heat that’s created. Known as thermal management, the problem seems omnipresent as systems become more compact, ...

Embedded Executive: Proper Antenna Design Can Make or Break Your Product | Taoglas
While it may not be as intimidating as it once was, antenna design can still be a make-or-break aspect of your end product. Make the antenna too big, and the end users balk. Make the antenna too small, and the device won’t function properly (an...

Embedded Executive: TSMC Ends Its GaN Run | Infineon
TSMC recently announced its exit from the GaN space. Well, maybe “announced” is the wrong word, but they did let customers know that they will not be producing GaN devices going forward. Details are still coming out, so we don’t kno...

Embedded Executive: Where To Place the Compute In a Car | NXP
Compute in the automobile is (again) moving toward consolidation and away from the discrete nature of multiple processors around the vehicle. Is this a trend that’s going to stick? I guess it depends on who you ask. In this case, I ...

Embedded Executive: Going From Prototype to Large-Scale Production | Sixfab
The line between a maker and a maker pro is quite fuzzy. In my opinion, the maker wants to build one of something, and likely won’t want to build more than one. The maker pro starts out building one, but knows somewhere down the line that the p...
