Embedded Edge

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Embedded Edge, where we explore the technologies shaping the future of embedded systems. Today’s episode is brought to you by our sponsor, Infineon.
In today’s hyper-connected world, embedded and IoT devices are everywhere—from our homes to critical industrial systems. But with this connectivity comes vulnerability. Cybersecurity is no longer just a software issue; it’s a holistic challenge shaped by hardware, regulations, cryptography, and the evolving threat landscape. In this episode our guest is Clark Jarvis, Software and Tools Technical Marketer at Infineon. Building on over two decades of product experience for embedded software and development tools, Clark focuses on creating efficient and intuitive design experiences to help embedded engineers ultimately master and speed the development of IoT and industrial applications. In this episode we dive deep into security topic and how Infineon is addressing these challenges, helping developers secure devices throughout their lifecycle—from prototype to production—while ensuring compliance with global standards. We’ll explore the concepts of Root of Trust, chain of authentication, consumer vs. industrial risks, and even look ahead to post-quantum security.

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Embedded Edge, where we explore the technologies shaping the future of embedded systems. Today’s episode is brought to you by our sponsor, Infineon.
In this episode, we speak with Sid Shaw, General Manager for Applications at Infineon’s Connected Secure Systems division. Sid leads Infineon’s global strategy across key application areas such as smart home, IoT, motor control, and digital health. With smart homes evolving from simple convenience to critical connected ecosystems, the demand for security, efficiency, and intelligence has never been greater. Together, we explore how Infineon is addressing these challenges, what trends are shaping consumer expectations worldwide, and how silicon innovation—from MCUs to edge AI—is driving the next wave of smarter, safer, and more sustainable living.

Today’s discussion is on one of the most important transformations happening in the automotive industry: the shift from traditional 12-volt electrical systems to modern 48-volt architectures. For decades, 12V has been the backbone of vehicle electronics, but with the rise of electrification, ADAS, infotainment, and software-defined cars, the industry is moving toward more powerful and efficient solutions.

Today, we’re exploring the fascinating evolution of wearable devices—how they’re transforming from fitness trackers into medical-grade monitors, and what that means for the future of healthcare. From real-time health data and AI-powered insights to groundbreaking diabetes technologies and emerging IoT health tools, we’ll uncover how innovation is reshaping personal health management.

Today, it is a pleasure to have a special guest, Geir Kjosavik, joining us to discuss precisely why Nordic Semiconductor, a fabless semiconductor company that has a long track record and legacy in designing ultra-low-power wireless solutions, made the move towards power management ICs, or PMICs. 
 
The increasing popularity of battery-operated devices, often characterized by a complex power tree that includes smartphones, hearables, wearables, IoT devices, and other complex portable equipment, has, in turn, driven up the demand for PMICs.  
 
In this episode, we’ll explore exactly why Nordic Semiconductor entered the PMIC business in 2021 and how they increased their market share. We’ll also discuss what a PMIC is, why companies might want to consider integrating one, and precisely how Nordic’s PMIC portfolio is different from existing solutions in the marketplace.
