How BASE-AU Enables High-Speed Optical Camera Links in Next-Generation Vehicles

Pablo Blázquez

March 5, 2026

The transition toward centralized and zonal vehicle architectures is placing new demands on how camera data is transported inside the vehicle. High-resolution optical cameras generate continuous multigigabit data streams that must be delivered reliably to domain controllers and central compute units. Existing in-vehicle network technologies, originally designed for lower data rates, are increasingly becoming a bottleneck.

This is where BASE-AU, the automotive-grade optical Ethernet standard defined under IEEE 802.3cz, comes into play.

AI Playtime is Over: It is Time to Get Serious

Ken Briodagh

March 4, 2026

Well, distinguished members of the (embedded industry) jury, I’m just a poor country lawyer (editor), and I don’t go in for all that newfangled LLM stuff that the big folks (you know who they are) are all on about. But the way I see it, as we get into embedded world, the time is about here to acknowledge that we’re doing serious work in the embedded industry, and we should probably put away the toys.

March 4, 2026

In modern data center power architectures, a quarter brick (QB) solution plays a critical role by converting intermediate bus voltages to regulated outputs that power advanced processors. To meet stringent performance and reliability requirements, integrating a digital power system manager (PSM) has become essential.

From Data to Drain: How AI Is Devouring the World’s Electricity

Lauro Rizzatti

March 4, 2026

America’s data centers managed to keep their electricity use surprisingly steady from 2005 to 2017, with rather small annual increments contained via constant improvement in electronics. Then, around 2017, AI arrived forcefully and disrupted that stability.

The Hidden Complexity of Bluetooth Antenna Design in Channel Sounding

Mikko Parkkila

March 2, 2026

Bluetooth is often seen as a “plug-and-play” technology for embedded systems. Drop in a module, connect a few traces, and you’re done—right? Not quite, and especially with Channel Sounding. Behind the scenes, antenna design can make or break your product’s performance. Poor decisions lead to reduced range, higher power consumption, and even failed certifications.
