Embedded Executive: We Are In a Memory Crisis | Everspin

Embedded Executive Podcast ·

2026/04/01

If you were not aware, you need to be: we are in a memory crisis. Most systems developers either can’t get the memory they need today, or they are being quoted exorbitant prices for that memory. And “systems” fall into just about every application. The crisis has a lot to do with the huge capacities needed for artificial intelligence, but there are other reasons as well. To understand what this means, and when (and if) it’ll end, I spoke to Sean Dougherty, a Vice President with Ev...

Embedded Executive Podcast ·

2026/03/25

Industrial power conversion is somewhat of an obscure topic, but nonetheless, super-important for people designing any type of platform or equipment for the industrial space. At the top of that list, and the application that’s responsible for changing our designs seemingly overnight, is the data center. Efficiently powering these data centers is key because they consume lots of power, and they are popping up in more places than originally expected. To help understand how to deal w...

2026/03/18

You’ve heard it over and over—you must incorporate security into your design. And in most cases, that’s happening today. But the task can still be somewhat daunting. That’s where a vendor like Thistle Technologies comes into play. They can make the integration far easier than you might have expected. Hear why and how from the company’s Founder and CEO, Window Snyder, who has seen far more than most of us when it comes to security. Window was this week’s guest on the Embedded Executives ...

T-minus six days for embedded world in Nuremberg. If you’ve been in the embedded space for any amount of time, you’re likely aware of embedded world, which is the annual global meeting place for the industry. On this week’s Embedded Executives podcast, I was able to corral Axel Sikora, the Chairman of the conference’s technical committee. We walked through some of the highlights of the upcoming event.

2026/02/25

Bluetooth is everywhere, right? Until recently, I would have said “Almost everywhere,” since it hadn’t yet affected the industrial sector. However, according to Simon Ford, the Founder of Blecon, Bluetooth has now entered that final frontier. It’s done so for obvious reasons, like power, performance, and ubiquity, and a few other reasons. Hear what Simon has to say on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.

Embedded Executive Podcast ·

2026/02/18

Bluetooth claims to own the low-power wireless space with its Low Energy (LE) flavor. A newer, yet older entrant in the space wants to claim that throne. That would be Low Energy UWB, or LE-UWB. And now you understand the reference to newer-older. UWB has been around for many years, but the LE variant is relatively new. In addition to lower power, it also offers a much higher bandwidth than Bluetooth, amongst other benefits, all of which are detailed by Frederic Nabki, the Co-Founder an...

Embedded Executive: A Fresh Approach to AI | VSORA

Embedded Executive Podcast ·

2026/02/11

There are many different ways to look at the tangled web of AI. For example, tackling from the inference perspective is one way of looking at the puzzle, as not everyone is doing that. One vendor, who may have a leg up, is VSORA, who claims to "make AI more accessible, efficient, and sustainable than ever.” That sounds like a tall order, but a great move to reaching that goal is to bring along someone who’s actually climbed the mountain before. In this case, that would be Sandra Rivera,...

The Chips and Science Act has been with us for a while now, and obviously, technology doesn’t stand still. To understand what’s going on with this important act, I spoke to Reza Azarderakhsh, the Founder and CEO of PQSecure Technologies. Reza introduced this act to our audience about a year ago, so this serves as a great update. We also dive into the related security issues developers need to stay on top of. Hear it all on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.

Embedded Executive Podcast ·

2026/01/28

Kinetic energy can be harvested from very simple mechanical movements, like the push of a button or the turning of a knob. WePower Technologies has been able to do more with that small amount of power than I expected. For example, they can power a transceiver to turn a light on or off simply by pushing a button or power the mechanical mechanism in a door lock by turning a knob 90 degrees. This would replace a battery that needs to be swapped on a regular basis. Hear more about it ...

Avnet recently surveyed part of its core audience, and the topic was AI’s Impact on Engineering. It doesn’t get much closer to home than that. To understand how the survey was conducted and, more importantly, what the results showed, I spoke to Alex Iuorio, Avnet’s Senior Vice President for Global Supplier Development. Alex and I discussed the results, what they mean, and what the future looks like in terms of AI in engineering. Check out this week’s Embedded Executives podcast to...

2026/01/14

We’ve all seen the wireless charging devices; you set your phone down on the charger, come back after a while, and your phone is charged. If the charger manufacturer followed the standard set forth by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), that scenario would play out. If they didn’t follow the standard, then you may come back to an uncharged device. Recently, the WPC released the latest version of its charging spec, pushing the charging level from 15 W up to 25 W.

To get answers to these questions, I spoke with Sivaram Trikutam, Senior Vice President of Wireless Products at Infineon Technologies. Sivaram and I went through the latest protocols to understand how things like range, power, frequency, and bandwidth will change (or not) going forward. T...

Embedded Executive Podcast ·

2025/12/17

There are lots of different ways that IoT devices can communicate. In some instances, that’s a good thing. But in other cases, it’s hindering the growth of IoT devices. And that’s a problem, at least according to Mike Rohrmoser, a Vice President at Digi. In this week’s Embedded Executives podcast, Mike explains how protocols are evolving and what needs to occur to ensure interoperability between all devices, including those that may have been in the field for decades.

This new version enhances the security efforts from the previous generation, and also takes a hard look at smart energy in the latest devices. One of the keys, as you’ll hear, is the backward compatibility that’s been maintained.

You’re likely aware of many of the great things AI can do for you. And I’m guessing you’ve seen many of the nefarious things it can be used for. I was just brought up to speed on one of the latter items, and it’s something you should be aware of as well. In my discussion with Marcus Webster, the Founder and President of Webster and Webster Associates, I learned that people are using AI to help them get jobs, and in some cases, they are jobs that they should not be getting, for security ...
