For the past couple of years, I’ve been using AI to assist in the design of my hardware and firmware projects. The experience has generally been good, even though the outcome isn’t always useful. So, ...

Different kinds of physical tasks demand different kinds of tools. You probably wouldn't be able to bust out your usual toolbox full of hammers and drills if you were looking to repair your smartphone ...

Engineers can take advantage of faster routing, improved workflow tools, and enhanced import/export capabilities, making it a ...

So I've got some storage/organizing needs. I've got some Stanley STST14027 Sort Master which works great for a number of my smaller bits, and hooks together nicely to carry them all together. However, ...

A full set of Open-Source tools is available to enable digital, analog, and mixed-signal ASIC design from schematic capture through tapeout. Tools installation is simply a matter of installing a VM ...

As I’ve mentioned in previous columns, for more years than I care to remember, I’ve been writing a Max’s Cool Beans column for the UK’s Practical Electronics hobbyist magazine. As part of this, I ...

In the rapidly evolving landscape of automotive electronics, traditional monolithic design approaches are giving way to something more flexible and powerful—chiplets. These modular microchips, which ...

The latest in EDA tools across different practices. Who is leading in EDA tools? Where to begin with EDA tools. The electronic design automation (EDA) space is evolving faster than most engineers can ...

A new systems design toolset aims to create a unified user experience for board designers while adding cloud connectivity and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, which will enable engineers to ...

For decades, electronics hobbyists would make a quick jaunt to a Radio Shack or Fry’s Electronics to find parts for their DIY projects. With those brick-and-mortar chains gone, one would think that ...
