As Ray Kurzweil’s predictions edge closer to reality, AI continues to transform engineering, education, and daily life. Follow along as Signal Integrity Journal Technical Editor Eric Bogatin examines the risks and rewards of technological evolution while reflecting on the role of humans in an AI-driven future.

Eric Bogatin explores the enduring insights of Grace Hopper, one of the founders of modern computer systems. 

When designing circuit boards, a change made to one aspect of the design intended to resolve an issue can cause problems elsewhere. To reduce the problem of soldering on SMA connectors in an edge launch, a significant signal integrity problem has been introduced. This article explores best practices and provides insight into avoiding an inadvertent mistake.

The need for speed will be the driving force behind energy production and efforts to make increasingly efficient use of available energy. Eric Bogatin reflects upon the evolution of power resources from the Industrial Revolution to today’s generation of AI and network processors.

Eric Bogatin shares a selection of free resources with high-value content to related to SI/PI/EMI. Check out these resources to learn new engineering principles, migrate to new fields, and keep up with the latest technology solutions and best design practices.

John McCloskey spent almost half of his career working on the JWST. Along the way, he recorded his experiences, bringing the rest of the world along on a whirlwind journey to witness the thrills, tensions, and feats of engineering that went into his success.

Ideal circuit elements are a powerful tool that enables us to explore the real world in virtual prototypes. Engineers can often gain insights and reach an optimized design faster using a virtual prototype than would be possible when building a real physical prototype.

Eric Bogatin shares four useful tools that illustrate the dynamic nature of propagating signals, promoting the understanding that is imperative to the design of high-performance products.

In just two generations, six different technological revolutions have transformed our economy, our careers, and our quality of life, for better or for worse. Eric Bogatin reflects upon industry progress and explores the potential impact of the latest development in technological innovation, generative AI.
