Today's podcast includes highlights from the EE Times Education Panel discussion moderated by Nitin Dahad.

In celebration of EE Times's 50th anniversary, EE Times held a panel to discuss "How to Expand the Semiconductor Industry Talen Pool" The panel welcomed Mark Lundstrom of Purdue University, Shari Liss from Semi Foundation, David Junkin of Cadence Academic Network, Robert Owen from Imagination Technologies and Brian Failing of NXP Semiconductors.

Our panelists address what the talent gap means, bringing talent to the industry, gender equity, and how the traditional chip industry can appeal to a younger generation.

Our guest is Doug Bailey, VP of Marketing and Applications Engineering, Power Integrations; we’re here today to discuss a fascinating topic – Your old beer fridge; and how it’s your home’s power parasite. 

Today we have Dr. Raphael Salmi, global president of Richardson RFPD, an Arrow Electronics Company. Richardson RFPD is a specialized electronic component distributor that differentiates itself by providing deep technical expertise and localized global design support for the latest products from the world’s lead suppliers of RF, Wireless, IoT and Power technologies. Today, we are focusing on one area of that expertise, that being Richardson RFPD’s growing success around the evolving technologies in power conversion and energy storage applications.

On the Weekly Briefing podcast: We talk with Renesas EVP Sailesh Chittepeddi, about the integration of Artificial Intelligence in IoT applications – also known as AioT and how a combination of AI and IoT (AIoT) creates “intelligent” devices that learn from generated data and use these insights to make autonomous decisions.

Today’s feature interview is with Charlie Matar, a Senior Vice President of System Solutions & Ecosystem Enablement Group. We dive into the latest trends in HPC and data centers, the industry’s most significant design challenge, and what the future looks like for today’s market.

Joining us today is Sally Ward-Foxton, a reporter from EETimes.com and podcast host of AI with Sally. We celebrate EE Times' 50th Anniversary, highlight memorable stories and discuss her latest project, “Words to the Wise,” an inspirational compilation of interviews featuring the top CEOs in the semiconductor industry.

As PCB complexity increases, flexibility to design changes and higher predictability become the main challenges to meet today’s requirements from the market, mainly shorter time to market, lower costs and improved performances. Modern simulation software are a key solution to those challenges as they not only allow engineers to predict the performances of a PCB at early stage of the design in a short amount of time and with good accuracy, but they also allow to identify the optimized design among a high number of variants. The purpose of this podcast is to show how numerical simulation can improve the ability for electronic engineers to predict and improve PCB reliability performances through simulation

EETimes is excited to announce Brett Brune as its new Editor-in-Chief. We sit down with him to discuss his experience and the plans for the renowned publication.

On the Weekly Briefing podcast: Cavemen discovered fire and man evolved that discovery with inventions to light our way, cook our food and keep us warm. But now, 99% of scientists and the majority of the world agree, we need to change how we think about energy. This generation of engineers is going to obviate the need for fire. Our guest Doug Bailey will discuss the innovations and changes in legislation and regulations; power generation; and efficient electrification. This episode is sponsored by Power Integrations.

On the Weekly Briefing podcast: Electrification is giving automakers an opportunity to completely reimagine what a car is, and what it can be. A conversation exploring new trends and challenges on the road to vehicle electrification with Ryan Manack, director of Automotive Systems Worldwide at Texas Instruments.
