Thermal Challenges of High-Performance Embedded AI Modules

Ujjwal Datt Sharma

September 15, 2025

The data center is no longer the only place where the AI revolution is occurring. High-performance embedded AI modules are enabling trillions of operations per second in form factors tiny enough to carry in your hand, from edge vision systems and autonomous drones to industrial robots, traffic management systems, weather prediction, the gaming console market, and medical imaging equipment. However, managing the heat is an equally challenging task.

Are Random Numbers in LTspice Truly Random?

Anne Mahaffey

September 4, 2025

This article discusses how to include pseudorandomness and true randomness in LTspice® simulations using the flat(), gauss(), and mc() functions, as well as how to use the Use the clock to reseed the MC generator option in the Hacks section of the settings panel. Trade-offs between pseudorandomness and true randomness are discussed, as well as trade-offs between statistical, Monte Carlo-like simulations and more targeted worst-case simulations.

From Smart Cities to Pro Audio – DECT NR+ and its potential for NR+ Audio

Tymoteusz Polański

August 29, 2025

In 2025, DECT might seem like an aging technology best known for cordless phones, but it is now undergoing a true revolution. With the introduction of the innovative DECT New Radio + (NR+) standard, DECT has transformed into one of the most exciting wireless platforms available today. NR+ not only redefines what DECT can do, but also opens the door to entirely new wireless solutions, often surpassing existing technologies. Here’s what NR+ is, how it opens the door to new wireless solutions, and how it compares to commonly used technologies:

SOCAMM: The New Memory Kid on the AI Block

Nikolaos Florous

August 28, 2025

The continued evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in energy-sensitive edge inference and dense AI server workloads, demands radical innovation in system memory. SOCAMM (Small Outline Compression Attached Memory Module) emerges as a purpose-built memory architecture designed by NVIDIA and developed in partnership with Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix to bridge a critical performance and efficiency gap in AI-centric platforms. By combining the high-bandwidth and energy efficiency of LPDDR5X memory with a modular, socketed form factor, SOCAMM redefines the interface between memory and compute.
