What caught your eye? (3D IC design, Robotaxi, Accelerometers, SOOP)

This week we’re talking about 2.5D and 3D IC design, the robotaxi market, a “rush” of accelerometers, and sampling broadband satcom signals for navigation purposes…

The Electronics Weekly team share some fingerposts – their picks of the week, in terms of announcements, developments, product releases, quotes, or anything else in the wide world of electronics, that caught their eye…
