An Interview with Jørgen Jakobsen

The Amp Hour · 6 Mar 2017 · 1h 23m · Episode 338

What this episode covers

Jørgen Jakobsen, an IC designer at Mios Audio, details his career designing hearing aid chips in Denmark and his current work on ultra-low-power Class D amplifiers. He explains how Mios Audio's multi-level output stages eliminate idle losses, achieving ten times lower power consumption at normal listening levels compared to traditional Class D designs. The conversation covers the technical challenges of integrating RF, DSP, and analog audio on small silicon areas, as well as the use of open-source platforms like the ESP32 for prototyping these high-efficiency audio solutions.

    The Spark Gap - Episode 42

    Chris Gammell, founder of parts.io, joins hosts Carl and Corey to discuss selecting the right operational amplifier for specific applications, using a 300mV DC signal and a 5nA current measurement as case studies. They also cover practical component choices like the LTC6903 programmable oscillator and the Microchip 24AA02 EEPROM with pre-burned MAC addresses. Gammell outlines parts.io's strategy to democratize access to Field Application Engineer (FAE) support by hiring an 'Internet Applications Engineer' and improving search algorithms to help small-scale designers.

    Why Sound Processing Takes Time, Not Just Frequency

    Dr. Shih-Chii Liu, co-director of the Sensors Group at the Institute of Neuroinformatics (ETH Zurich), explains how her neuromorphic silicon cochlea converts sound into asynchronous spikes to enable low-power voice activity detection. She details the use of delta modulation for faithful signal representation and 'delta networks' that leverage activation sparsity to reduce energy consumption by over 50%. Professor Ralph Etienne-Cummings of Johns Hopkins University discusses the historical context of silicon cochleas, citing early work by Carver Mead and Andre van Schaik, and their commercial applications in hearing aids and sound localization.

    Changing the World One Wireless RF Chip at a Time

    David Su, co-founder and CEO of Atmosic Technologies, discusses his career journey from HP Labs and Atheros to founding Atmosic, where he leverages decades of RF design experience to create ultra-low-power wireless chips. He explains how Atmosic’s configurable SoCs support Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Matter over Thread, achieving power levels 3-5 times lower than competitors by optimizing circuit, system, and software interactions. Su highlights the critical role of energy harvesting, particularly photovoltaics, in enabling battery-free IoT devices, and reflects on the balance between structured engineering and innovative craftsmanship learned during his time at Qualcomm and Atheros.
