Component Selection Guide for AI Hardware: What to Check Before Finalizing MLCC, MCU, and CPU/GPU Peripheral BOMs Component Selection Guide for AI Hardware: What to Check Before Finalizing MLCC, MCU, and CPU/GPU Peripheral BOMs

From June to July 2026, AI hardware demand affected more than just GPUs, CPUs, and high-bandwidth memory. TrendForce reported that DRAM contract prices would rise by 13%–18% in Q3 2026. NAND Flash contract prices would rise by 10%–15%. The main drivers are AI inference systems and large data center deployments.

The pressure also…

8,192-Microcontroller Display Cluster Every Pixel Has Its Own Microcontroller

Imagine a display where every single pixel has its own brain. That's the ambitious idea creator bitluni set out to bring to life in a six-month engineering project. Instead of relying on a central GPU, the display turns every pixel into an independent computing node. The ultimate goal is a 65,536-core QVGA display, while the first working prototype already features 8,192 RISC-V…

Driving NeoPixel LEDs Using Pure Hardware Driving NeoPixel LEDs Using Pure Hardware - No Microcontroller, No Code

A recent video by Axiometa explores an unusual electronics challenge: driving addressable NeoPixel LEDs entirely in hardware, without any microcontroller or code. Since WS2812-style LEDs normally rely on tightly timed digital data from MCUs, the project asks whether basic components like counters, timers, and logic gates can replicate the protocol. The goal was to generate the required pulse…

ROHM's Hybrid Digital Analog Power Supply Reference Design REF67004 is ROHM's New Power Supply Design that Combines Analog and Digital Control

Traditional analog power supplies struggle to keep up with today’s performance and control accuracy requirements, which have gotten way stricter. Even though digital power supplies work better, they’re just too expensive and use too much power for smaller industrial applications. This makes their use limited. To counter this, ROHM has just announced a new reference design for power supply…
