Can AI really code? Study maps the roadblocks to autonomous software engineering

Imagine a future where artificial intelligence quietly shoulders the drudgery of software development: refactoring tangled code, migrating legacy systems, and hunting down race conditions, so that human engineers can devote themselves to architecture, design, and the genuinely novel problems still beyond a machine’s reach. Recent advances appear to have nudged that future tantalizingly close, but…

Power Tips #142: A comparison study on a floating voltage tracking power supply for ATE

In order to test multiple ICs simultaneously with different test voltages and currents, semiconductor automatic test equipment (ATE) uses multiple source measurement units (SMUs). Each SMU requires its own independent floating voltage tracking power supply to ensure clean measurements. Figure 1 shows the basic structure of the SMU power supply. The voltage tracking power supplies…
