Ask Steve: Career and management advice from the former CEO of Microchip

It’s a new year and New Year’s resolutions may be on your mind. You’ll find some helpful hints on making resolutions, or just getting your career into gear, in Steve Sanghi’s new book, “Ask Steve: Everyday business advice from a successful CEO.” Sanghi based his new book on a decade’s worth of advice columns he wrote for the “Arizona Republic” newspaper from 2004 … Read More → "Ask Steve: Career and management advice from the former CEO of Microchip"

One More Step on the Path to AIIE (AI-In-Everything)

Almost anyone involved in developing new products today wants those products to have an artificial intelligence (AI) component [for the purposes of this column we will take AI to embrace machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL)]. The problem is that AI is still very new in the scheme of things—everyone has heard about it, almost everybody uses it, but relatively few people know how to … Read More → "One More Step on the Path to AIIE (AI-In-Everything)"

AI-based Anomaly Detection: From Conceptualization to Integration

AI-based anomaly detection takes center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! My guest is Rachel Johnson from MathWorks and we explore how AI can work in tandem with engineers to reduce the incidence of defects and optimize maintenance schedules and the steps involved in designing and deploying an AI-based anomaly detection system; from conceptualization and data gathering to deployment and integration.

If you root it out, I'd love to see a picture.

I was able to answer your 7448 question, but only because I've designed with them before. Back in the early 1980s, I designed a device for sending numeric data along the phone lines using DTMF touch tone codes. I used 7448 decoders with FND500 seven segment LEDs. The original intent was for ...

I have a special admiration for someone who can critique an article without seeming to have read it, Karl. The chart in the article clearly shows that even the smallest device has more than 100 Mbits of RAM. As for who might use this "kludge," if you cannot imagine a use ...

If there are no answers does that mean there are no problems? say "No" So far it looks like all they did was divide the chip area by the LUT/DSP size and published those numbers. So what? Well just maybe there are enough routing channels and maybe not. Just ...
Posted on Jan 3 at 7:21am by Karl Stevens
Then what is the justification for this kludge? Also It seems that each DSP block has to have at least one IO and I cannot find how many IOs there are. I assume that they assume there are enough. Maybe there are no answers, did you write this as a ...
Posted on Jan 3 at 1:39am by Steven Leibson
Karl Stevens, if you ask questions that have no answers, then expect to get no answers. Your question applies to every new programmable device, whether it's an FPGA or a microcontroller. How long will it take? That sort of depends on the designers and their motivations to use these new ...
