I wasn't aware of this one, though it launched in April: the self-explanatory Arduino AI Assistant (the AAA).

SiTime is aiming for 24 hour timing hold-over in data centres and 5G infrastructure with temporal synchronising software called TimeFabric. “TimeFabric, combined with SiTime’s oscillators and clocks, delivers up to 9x more accurate time synchronization than quartz-based solutions,” claimed the company. Dipping into this a little deeper, SiTime is claiming that a quartz-based OCXO with IEEE 1588 software will glitch ...

Keysight has combined it Electromagnetic Simulator with Synopsys’ AI-powered RF design migration flow for an integrated design flow to migrate from TSMC’s N6RF+ to N4P process technology. The migration workflow builds on the foundry’s Analog Design Migration (ADM) methodology to streamline the redesign of passive devices and design components to the advanced RF process rules. The collaborative migration workflow leverages ...

A recent survey by Patriotic Millionaires UK shows that a majority of millionaires in G20 countries supports a 2% tax on wealth. When asked if any millionaires with a wealth of more than $10 million should pay the tax, 58% of the more than 2,000 millionaire survey participants said yes. As part of the same survey, 75% agreed that billionaires ...

For physical AI at the edge, MIPS has introduced the Atlas Explorer portfolio. The company explained that it allows designers cycle-accurate repeatability of their workload onto a MIPS processor. It provides access to platform IP ahead of silicon availability for evaluation to enable pre-production RTL and for teams to develop optimised hardware and concepts such as digital twins to gain ...

“All the signs are showing that the market is picking up rapidly, and the theme from many suppliers at our recent sales conference centred on their concerns that if customers do not start placing backlog now, they will run into problems later this year as lead-times are forecast to quickly lengthen,” said distributor Anglia Components’ marketing director John Bowman (pictured). ...

DAC 2025: There was a lot of talk about AI at this year’s DAC but one of the most significant was that Siemens Digital Industries Software has added generative and agentic AI capabilities across its EDA portfolio. The EDA AI system applies across all semiconductor and PCB design suites, including Questra, Tessent, Xpedition, Veloce, Catapult, Calibre, Aprisa and Solido.  “It ...

The semiconductor manufacturing equipment industry is expected to have a CAGR of 7% 2024-28 to reach 11.1 million wpm in 2028, says SEMI. A key driver is the  expansion of advanced process capacity (7nm and below), which is expected to increase by approximately 69% – from 850,000 wpm in 2024 to 1.4 million wpm in 2028 – at a CAGR ...

Qorvo’s QPA1314 is a packaged high power MMIC amplifier, fabricated on Qorvo’s production 0.15 um GaN on SiC process (QGaN15).  QPA1314 is targeted for 13.75 – 14.5 GHz Satcom band. Linear power is 20 W with 25 dBc third order intermodulation distortion products. It provides 40 W of output power with 27 dB of large signal gain while achieving 30% ...

The UK Space Agency is providing new funding for projects using satellite data to improve the delivery of public services. The agency is making £2.5 million available to five projects. This was announced at the European Space Agency’s Living Planet Symposium 2025, in Vienna. It follows a joint call for proposals from the UK Space Agency and ESA’s InCubed2 programme. ...
