Yesterday, I moderated a panel on green chip design in Newport Beach at the 7th International SOC Conference. Chances are you didn’t see or hear any of it because there were only 100 people at this conference in total. That’s really too bad because we had a great set of panelists:

The title for this blog is “borrowed” from a Mark Twain story and the content is borrowed—once more—from my favorite Oz video celebrity engineer, David Jones, who does the EE Video blog. In our latest episode, David rants about Microchip’s new PICkit 3 development tool.

After 40 years of working on phase-change memory (PCM), researchers announced...another incremental step towards creating devices that can compete with the current king of the non-volatile memory hill: Flash EEPROM. Certainly, there are PCM devices on the market now (see this blog and this one). However Flash memory, already the cost/bit memory leader by far, has threatened to leave all other memory technologies far, far in the dust as it evolves from single-layer cells (SLC) to multi-layer cells (MLC). But there’s trouble visible on the far horizon for Flash memory. The number of electrons stored in a Flash cell drops with each new lithography node and we w...Read More

I’ve just started to write a blog for AgigA Tech, a maker of non-volatile memory subsystems for embedded systems and servers. Today, I posted a fun blog entry with a bunch of photos of leaking batteries destroying the equipment in which they’re installed. Seemed like a good Halloween treat, and a reminder to check your batteries and your assumptions about them. You’ll find the post here. My good friend and AgigA Tech CEO Ron Sartore calls the photos absolutely “Joule-ish.” Funny, they don’t look Joulish to me.
