Single Pair Ethernet (SPE): A Valuable Option for Modern Designs
04/20/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007When it comes to designing PCBs and full systems for increasingly complex electronics hardware, who doesn’t want to reduce complexity and cost? Single-Pair Ethernet (SPE) has emerged as a solution and is gaining rapid attention across industrial electronics and PCB design because it enables Ethernet communication over a single twisted pair, replacing the traditional two- or four-pair cabling used in standard Ethernet networks. This seemingly simple shift has significant implications for designers: smaller connectors, reduced cable weight, longer reach, and the ability to carry both data and power over a single pair.
Webinar Review, Part 2: Building the AI Backbone at IBM on Systems-level Packaging
04/20/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007The second presentation in a recent Global Electronics Association’s Executive Pulse webinar series widened the lens on advanced packaging, moving beyond the component level to a systems-level view of how AI is reshaping the electronics landscape. Building on Dr. Hemanth Dhavaleswarupu of AMD’s previous discussion of chip-level packaging innovation, Dr. Jung Yoon of IBM explored the broader infrastructure implications, from the data center floor to the global supply chain.
