David Blaza shared thisEvery thoughtful person I know is starting to bring AI into their work, I think its inevitable. Here is what Graham Kilshaw and the Lectrix team are doing, definitely worth checking out.David Blaza shared thisStarting today, a new resource from Lectrix: The Growth Brief. In addition to our own initiatives, we highlight new AI, sales and marketing ideas we see, that make sense for the components industry. Today: 1. Lectrix launches a new service which allows you to place your ads live on the phones of tradeshow and conference attendees. 2. Plus, we review the very handy Plaud AI device, seen in use at the ERA conference in February. Sign up below for more new ideas to come.

Excellent news from the Navitas Semiconductor team! These new QDPAK and TO-247-4-LP packages are game-changers for power density. The dual-side cooling on the QDPAK is a massive win for thermal management, and that low-profile TO-247 is exactly what’s needed for the tight physical constraints of #AI data center power supplies. It’s great to see the GeneSiC™ TAP technology continuing to push the boundaries of efficiency and reliability in these high-demand applications. Come see the goods at APEC! | https://lnkd.in/gbTww2Rc #SiliconCarbide #SiC #PowerSemiconductors #Engineer #DataCenter #Grid

Humor me some long-form...👇 Do y'all know what a semiconductor is? Before working with OSU, I had little interest and even less understanding of how crucial semiconductors are to my daily life. They are the foundational "brains" in your smartphone and your fridge, your car, your internet router, and your dad's pacemaker. Fortuitously, the Pacific Northwest is a hotbed of semiconductor talent and potential. But the sector needs more -- more intentional partnerships and funding mechanisms -- to ensure the success and equitable benefits to all of the humans who need it and make it go. So, if you care at all about national security... Or about Portland's economy or the future of innovation in Oregon... If you care about your dad's pacemaker or your daughter's job prospects in the next 10 years... Then you might care a lot about semiconductors. And you should check out something special called the FAST initiative, led by Oregon State: https://fast-engine.org/ 🔥

Quantum is leaving the lab—and we are scaling it right here in the U.S. I recently sat down with Alan Patterson from the EE Times to discuss how SkyWater Technology is becoming America’s Quantum Foundry: transforming breakthrough physics into manufacturable, trusted products with U.S.-based advanced packaging and 200mm/300mm processing. From qubits to qualified, scalable products—SkyWater is making quantum manufacturable. #madeinamerica #quantumcomputing #semiconductors #advancedpackaging #innovation

NVIDIA hosted their GTC this week in San Jose, kicking off with Jensen Huang's keynote with updates on the NVIDIA DSX AI factory platform and "the largest infrastructure rollout in history," as he called it. Exciting to see Trane Technologies featured as a leading NVIDIA Partner Network member and to work with the NVIDIA team to announce major enhancements to our industry-first comprehensive thermal management reference design for gigawatt-scale AI factories and two new Trane Continuum Rubin DSX reference designs. We're on the leading-edge of helping optimize performance and maximizing energy efficiency for the next generation of AI workloads. Check out our announcement here: https://lnkd.in/esgc65XF

From 2013-2017 I marketed MIPS and a promising turnaround of the business was halted by the sale of Imagination Technologies, which saw MIPS split out. Wilderness years followed, including bankruptcy in 2020. Now the latest chapter in the revival of MIPS as a RISC-V company, which last year included sale to GlobalFoundries, will potentially see MIPS become the volume leader in RISC-V IP with the purchase of Synopsys Inc’s ARC processor business. Speaking with me last week MIPS made it clear that aggressive inorganic growth is on the cards as they pull some parts of the roadmap forward by a year or more and develop a silicon design business. For in depth coverage of all things RISC-V, subscribe to our quarterly report.
