Moore's Lobby: Where engineers talk all about circuits

In this episode of Moore's Lobby, Dave sits down with two engineers about power design in the automotive space.  You'll hear about how ignoring the holistic system in favor of high efficiency can mean too much of a good thing. You'll learn about IGBTs vs. MOSFETs in the automotive space. And you'll also pick up snippets about why single-sourced new components are forbidden fruit and why it's important to acknowledge that copper's not getting any more efficient. Thermal management, EMI, switching losses, oh my! This episode is full to the brim of the technical details practicing EEs crave.

In this episode of Moore's Lobby, host Dave Finch takes a look at wireless IoT technologies and comes away with the knowledge that there is definitely no such thing as a "one size fits all" solution.  Hear the voices of two experts weigh in: CEO of The Things Network, Wienke Giezeman, and CTO/COO of Senet (as well as LoRa Alliance board member), Dave Kjendal.  This conversation will dive into the intricacies and extraordinary promise of one of the most versatile protocols out there: LoRaWAN.

Welcome to the age of coding. Hardware design has changed a lot in recent years, in no small part because electrical engineers are required to take part in more and more firmware and software design. In this episode of Moore's Lobby, host Dave Finch talks to two engineers with storied careers about how the engineers at their two mega-companies rely on coding skills to make the best products possible.  First, you'll hear Tim Saeger—Executive Vice President and Chief R&D Officer at iRobot—explain the importance of software development in robotics applications. Then you'll dive into the details with Sean Newton—Microcontroller Applications Manager, Americas at STMicroelectronics—as he and Dave talk shop about the use of control algorithms for MCUs and motor control applications.

When you're launching the next Falcon rocket or Mars rover, the last thing you want is one line of Verilog standing between you and a successful test. Sandip Dasgupta, Senior Electrical Engineer at SpaceX talks about smart rockets, FPGA design, and where SpaceX gets its ICs in this episode of Moore's Lobby.

How do electrical engineers innovate? How can they take the risks needed to try new things when they're focused on delivering functional designs on time and under budget? Hear three industry voices dig into the how—and, more importantly, the why—of innovation in the trenches of electronic design.

In the face of the most severe pandemic in a century, how are electrical engineers dealing with the challenge of working from home? Here are three stories of engineering success in spite of separation from teams and equipment.
