Embedded Executive Podcast

Ken Briodagh, editor of Embedded Computing Design, interviews Scott Turnbull with fidus.

If you weren't able to attend embedded world in Nuremberg, Germany, a few weeks ago, you’ll love this recap of the event featuring David Sandys, the Senior Director of Technical Enablement and Engagement at DigiKey. 

While it’s not possible to see everything at a show as large as embedded world, David and I pull out many of the highlights. 

Check out this week’s Embedded Executives podcast. and hear about some of the things that stood out for David (and for DigiKey).

Ken Briodagh, Editor-in-Chief, Embedded Computing Design, interviews Nicolas Demoulin, Senior Marketing Manager, Microchip Technology at embedded world 2026.

If you were not aware, you need to be: we are in a memory crisis. 

Most systems developers either can’t get the memory they need today, or they are being quoted exorbitant prices for that memory. And “systems” fall into just about every application. The crisis has a lot to do with the huge capacities needed for artificial intelligence, but there are other reasons as well. 

To understand what this means, and when (and if) it’ll end, I spoke to Sean Dougherty, a Vice President with Everspin Technologies, on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.

Lattice Semiconductor's Esam Elashmawi sits with Embedded Computing Design's Rich Nass to talk about the company's latest programmable devices.

Systems are demanding more from their memory subsystems, and they can get it thanks to the latest controller from Rambus, as evidenced in the discussion between Rambus' Bart Stevens and Embedded Computing Design's Rich Nass.

Handling your AI off-chip is a great way to increase performance, which was the topic of the discussion between Axelera's Fabrizio DelMaffeo and Rich Nass of Embedded Computing Design

Industrial power conversion is somewhat of an obscure topic, but nonetheless, super-important for people designing any type of platform or equipment for the industrial space. 

At the top of that list, and the application that’s responsible for changing our designs seemingly overnight, is the data center. Efficiently powering these data centers is key because they consume lots of power, and they are popping up in more places than originally expected. 

To help understand how to deal with these key issues, I spoke to Steve Tateosian, Infineon Technologies’ Senior VP for its IoT, Compute and Wireless Business Unit, on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.

Editor Rich Nass interviews Alex Wood, Global Marketing Director, Tria Technologies, and Robert Thompson, Director Edge Processing Ecosystems, NXP, at embedded world 2026.
