While at least a dozen companies offer excellent solutions to deliver the ultra-high currents required to power modern GPUs, Ferric developed a unique capability to integrate thin-film magnetic power inductors within their devices’ packages that eliminates the need for bulky external components. As a result, they can create chip-scale power converters that integrate interface, telemetry, feedback control, and powertrain circuitry.

In this episode of Inside Electronics, Noah Sturken sits down with James Morra, senior editor at Electronic Design, to discuss what’s wrong with how AI processors are powered today and how he hopes to tackle technical challenges with Ferric’s IVRs.

There are all kinds of virtual machines (VM) available and many are being employed in embedded applications. Platforms like the Java virtual machine (JVM) are used on servers and embedded applications with features like garbage collection. Unfortunately, these can have a lot of overhead making them less desirable for small, microcontroller-based systems. Rolf Segger, Founder of Segger Microcontroller Systems, talks about the company's new emApps virtual platform.

The cloud and IoT are growing and expanding in complexity in a variety of ways as the core technologies behind the devices and related infrastructure evolve and mature. In this episode, we talk to Nebu Philips, Senior Director, Strategy & Business Development at Synaptics, about where we are and where we want to go with edge computing, AI, and the Cloud.
