Apple has been caught completely off guard with the AI topic. Embarrassing.

Definitely, I don’t understand Americans. The paladins of freedom, free world and democracy, have a president that basically states that “he is the law”. Congrats on your fantastic choice to rule your country.
Instead of Napoleon, Trump should cite Óscar Benavides: "For my friends, anything. For my enemies, the law."

Exciting news ahead on the development of our eDAS and RIM systems at IAC. Some clue: what if we could suppress the effects of Starlink satellites on the CMB with FPGAs in real time? Stay tuned!

What type of capacitors should we choose?

Happy new year everyone!

Do you know what active and passive components are?

Active: they can amplify, generate or manipulate electrical signals.

Passive: they store or dissipate energy, cannot generate or amplify electrical signals.

Tip: when using Vitis HLS, if you want to do cosimulation, use the #pragma HLS INTERFACE ap_ctrl_hs port=return, instead of #pragma HLS INTERFACE ap_ctrl_none port=return. If not, it won't work properly!

Curious about how to generate RTL code without using VHDL/Verilog? Vitis HLS tool allows users to easily create complex FPGA algorithms by synthesizing a C/C++ function into RTL. Check it out, I use it everyday! 🙂

What kind of hardware do we use to develop data acquisition systems for superconducting detectors? AMD Xilinx ZCU111 & ZCU208 are our primary development platforms. Each one of this evaluation platforms costs between 15-20 k$. We plan to build our custom boards in the near future!

Curious about how to generate a complex signal (analytic signal) from a real one? Check out the Hilbert Transform! It’s super useful in hardware design and digital signal processing.

I’ll be posting things about my job at IAC Electronics Department. Specifically, about digital electronics design and digital signal processing for superconducting detectors applications (MKIDs, Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors).

Interested in hardware design? At Electronics Department of IAC we investigate on both analog and digital electronics, digital signal processing and data acquisition systems for many applications. Specifically, my job is related to superconducting detectors.
