A tutorial on instrumentation amplifier boundary plots—Part 1
In today’s information-driven society, there’s an ever-increasing preference to measure phenomena such as temperature, pressure, light, force, voltage and current. These measurements can be used in a plethora of products and systems, including medical diagnostic equipment, home heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, vehicle safety and charging systems, industrial automation, and test and measurement systems. Many […]

New LDS Cap Antenna for Iridium Satellite IoT Applications

Developed in collaboration with Iridium and qualified for use with Iridium Certus™ 9704 IoT modules, the new LDS cap antenna and evaluation board significantly outperform the ceramic patch antennas typically used in satellite IoT applications. FOUNTAIN INN, S.C. (November 4, 2025) – KYOCERA AVX, a leading global manufacturer of advanced electronic components engineered to accelerate […]
5-V ovens (some assembly required)—part 2
In the first part of this Design Idea (DI), we looked at simple ways of keeping critical components at a constant temperature using a linear approach. In this second part, we’ll investigate something PWM-based, which should be more controllable and hence give better results. Wow the engineering world with your unique design: Design Ideas Submission […]

3D Printed Parts Gain Digital Fingerprints to Trace Ghost Guns

Key Things to Know: 3D printing’s accessibility has enabled low-cost, decentralised manufacturing—but it also allows the unregulated production of “ghost guns”, firearms without serial numbers or traceability. Researchers at Washington University have developed the Secure Information Embedding and Extraction (SIDE) system, a forensic framework designed to embed resilient digital fingerprints into 3D printed parts. SIDE […]
Samsung to Invest in its Philippine MLCC Facility to Meet Automotive Demand

Samsung Electro-Mechanics Philippines Corp. (SEMPHIL) announced a ₱50.7 billion investment in a new manufacturing facility for automotive multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). The project, finalized during the Philippine delegation’s meeting with […] Read the original post at Samsung to Invest in its Philippine MLCC Facility to Meet Automotive Demand
Makefile vs. YAML: Modernizing verification simulation flows
Automation has become the backbone of modern SystemVerilog/UVM verification environments. As designs scale from block-level modules to full system-on-chips (SoCs), engineers rely heavily on scripts to orchestrate compilation, simulation, and regression. The effectiveness of these automation flows directly impacts verification quality, turnaround time, and team productivity. For many years, the Makefile has been the tool […]
