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.

A change is comin’. Can you feel it? Most of us have been waiting for a long time for a change like this to come around the bend and now, it may finally be here. If it's up to (newly unstealthed) company Crossbar, the non-volatile memory landscape may never look the same again. In this week’s Fish Fry, we investigate the newest in non-volatile memory technology with Crossbar CEO George Minassian. We chat with George about what Crossbar’s new RRAM memory is all about, what applications it can be used for, and how the industry is reacting to this new non-volatile kid on the block.
Also this week, we look into design security in mainstream SoCs and give away an element14 MEMS Sensors Evaluation Kit courtesy of Newark element14.

Wearable Technology is the name of the game in this week's Fish Fry. First we check out how the National Physical Laboratory in the United Kingdom is hoping to revolutionize wearable technology - one silver-coated fiber at a time. We also look into Newark element14's "Get Closer" Wearables Challenge and investigate how the AdaFruit FLORA computing platform can make your next wearables design dream a reality.
We're giving away a PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit courtesy of Newark element14 this week! Enter today!
