Murata Publishes Power Delivery Guide for AI Servers

Murata has released a new technical guide on power delivery networks (PDNs) for AI servers in next‑generation data centers, focusing on improving power stability and reducing distribution losses. The document […] Read the original post at Murata Publishes Power Delivery Guide for AI Servers
SiTime to Acquire Renesas’ Timing Business
SiTime Corporation (“SiTime”), the Precision Timing company, and Renesas Electronics Corporation (“Renesas”), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductors, today announced that SiTime and Renesas’ consolidated subsidiary, Renesas Electronics America Inc., have signed a definitive agreement whereby SiTime will acquire certain assets related to Renesas’ timing business. The acquisition accelerates SiTime’s path to $1 billion of […]
Designing energy-efficient AI chips: Why power must be an early consideration
AI’s demand for compute is rapidly outpacing current power infrastructure. According to Goldman Sachs Global Institute, upcoming server designs will push this even further, requiring enough electricity to power over 1,000 homes in a space the size of a filing cabinet. As workloads continue to scale, energy efficiency is now as critical as raw performance. […]

Silicon coupled with open development platforms drives context-aware edge AI
Edge AI reached an inflection point in 2025. What had long been demonstrated in controlled pilots—local inference, reduced latency, and improved system autonomy—began to transition into scalable, production-ready deployments across industrial and embedded markets. This shift has exposed a deeper architectural reality: many existing silicon platforms and development environments are poorly matched to the demands […]

Classic constant current cascode
An important figure of merit for all precision constant current sources is their active impedance. Which is to say, just how “constant” is their output held against changes in applied voltage? Frequent and expert Design Idea (DI) commentator Ashutosh Sapre (Ashu) was kind enough to measure this parameter for a design of mine and share […]

Mechanical Drift Indicator of Tantalum Capacitor Anodes Degradation under Reverse Bias

Dr. Vladimir Azbel, an independent consultant on tantalum capacitors, analyzes structural changes in tantalum anodes of chip capacitors during long-term reverse-bias stress (RBS) testing. These changes are assessed using mechanical […] Read the original post at Mechanical Drift Indicator of Tantalum Capacitor Anodes Degradation under Reverse Bias
