Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Go directly to the power plane. Whether we like it or not, power integrity analysis is now a bigger (and messier) part of our PCB design process. In this week's Fish Fry, we get down to the bare metal of those pesky power planes with Brad Griffin of Cadence. Also this week, we check out a super cool new 3D printed robot (yes, you want one) and investigate what sets this little cutie apart from other humanoid robots.

Hold on tight, ladies and gentlemen, as Fish Fry gazes into to the future of our "smart lives" with Diane Kibbey, Global Head of Community and the organizer of the Smarter Life Challenge at Newark element14. We'll give you the details of the Smarter Life Challenge, let you know how you can enter, and tell you what you can win. Also this week, our EDA crystal ball shows us an exciting vision of a day when timing closure isn't such a huge pain in the neck.
We're giving everyone one more chance to win a Starter Kit for PIC24F Intelligent Integrated Analog courtesy of Microchip technology. You can enter to win by commenting on this week's Fish Fry page.

Who said electronic engineering can't be funny? (Someone who has never read this publication!) In this week's Fish Fry, we check out a brand new online television show that that aims to bring the saucy style of late night television talk shows to our engineering community. My guest is Brian Fuller of Cadence Design Systems and we chat about why Cadence decided to make a humorous engineering-based talk show and how they are going about the business of making EE fun.
This week we look into the mystery of choosing the right IP vendor for the right job - it may be trickier than you think. We are also giving away a Starter Kit for PIC24F Intelligent Integrated Analog courtesy of Microchip Technology. You can enter to win by commenting on this week's Fish Fry page.

This week, Fish Fry has MEMS on the brain. Our guest is none other than MEMS powerhouse Karen Lightman. In an exclusive 2013 MEMS Executive Congress preview, Karen and I chat about what exciting technologies will be discussed at this year's event and how you can get your MEMS-enabled design in front of a special audience of executives from around the world. Also this week, we check out the newest in battery management techniques and investigate why your next battery-powered device design could benefit from a little battery monitoring.
This week's nerdy giveaway is an Arduino Due Kit courtesy of Newark element14. Enter today!

This week we're talking about analog. Not just any analog - intelligent analog. No, it's not a myth like monster cable or a legend like green magic marker making your CDs sound better, its real and its coming to a work bench or lab near you. We chat with Jason Tollefson from microchip about microchip's new analog system on chip mcu family that might just be the smarts you need for your next design.
Also this week, we check out how you can utilize tabula's spacetime architecture for your next super speed Ethernet design. Our nerdy giveaway this week is a Bud board-ganizer courtesy of Newark element14 and you should enter today!

Maybe it's an itch that just won't go away. Maybe it's a daydream buster - Aw dang, I didn't think of that. Or, maybe it's a recurring nightmare that runs you ragged each and every night. Yep, we're talking about hardware-assisted verification. It ain't easy and nobody ever said it was going to be. In this week's Fish Fry my guest is Frank Schirrmeister from Cadence Design Systems and we chat about why hardware-assisted verification is on everybody’s mind these days, and what we can do to make our verification lives a whole bunch easier.
We'll also tell you how you can join the IoT party with Atmel's new SAM D20 Cortex M0+ family, and our giveaway this week is an Atmel AVR Butterfly (courtesy of Newark element14).

With summer drawing to a close, what better time to journey to the land of EDA - where the C is synthesized, the constraints are random, and the living is easy. We talk with Brett Cline (Forte Design Systems) about what's hot in C Synthesis these days and also check in with Steve Kinney from Nimbic. Not sure what Nimbic does? You're in luck - we're gonna tell you.
Also this week, we are giving away a LaunchPad DSP Booster Pack courtesy of elemeny14. Enter today!

Hot off the grill and tastier than ever! In this week’s Fish Fry, we’re serving up a healthy plate of DDR IP with Bob Smith of Uniquify. Bob and I chat about your next SoC project and why Uniquify may have the perfect DDR IP to suit your design tastes. Also this week, in a second helping of Fish Fry fabulousness, we’re talking to Adrian Valenzuela about the BeagleBone Black and why you want one.
Hey and look at this week’s icing on the cake! Our nerdy giveaway is none other than the BeagleBone Black, courtesy of Newark element14. Enter to win a BeagleBone Black today!

This week's Fish Fry is about tools. Not just any kind of tools - tools that can make your life better, your health stronger, and your job a little easier. First up, we check out how a team of researchers from MIT hopes to stem the tide of Malaria with a new prototype device that can recognize the electrical properties of infected cells. Next, we chat with Shakeel Jeeawoody from Blue Pearl Software about how their tools can simplify the debug of your next FPGA design.
Also this week, we look at the newest advances in smart display technology and give away a Gertboard courtesy of Newark element14.
