Unique Piezoelectric Motor and Driver Solutions
Piezoelectric Motors and Drivers Offer a Unique Motion Solution (Source: Jaanus.kalde, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons) There’s a world of motors beyond the well-known electromagnetic energy-based ones that most engineers are familiar with. One standout example is the piezoelectric motor and actuator, which uses an entirely different physics and materials-science principle to provide precise, swift,…
The SoC design: What’s next for NoCs?
Today’s high-end system-on-chips (SoCs) rely heavily on sophisticated network-on-chip (NoC) technology to achieve performance and scalability. As the demands of artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), and other compute-intensive applications continue to evolve, designing the next generation of SoCs will require even smarter and more efficient NoC solutions to meet these challenges. Although these advancements…
Flip-Flop Types, Truth Table, Circuit, Working, Applications
– Advertisement – A flip-flop in digital electronics is a circuit with two stable states that can be used to store binary data. The stored data can be changed by applying varying inputs. Flip-flops and latches are fundamental building blocks of digital electronics systems used in computers, communications, and many other types of systems. Both…
A closer look at LLM’s hyper growth and AI parameter explosion
The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has been marked by the rise of large language models (LLMs) with ever-growing numbers of parameters. From early iterations with millions of parameters to today’s tech giants boasting hundreds of billions or even trillions, the sheer scale of these models is staggering. Table 1 outlines the number of…
Multi-solar panel interconnections: Mind the electrons’ directions
The concluding post in a series; here’s part 1 (covering the Energizer PowerSource Pro Battery Generator) and part 2 (discussing its companion 200W portable solar panel)… Eagle-eyed readers may have already noticed, within the listing for the Energizer Solar Bundle I bought at the beginning of September (and returned shortly thereafter), the following prose: Pick…
