| TDR and S-parameter Measurements: How Much Performance Do You Need? by Tektronix, Inc. in EDN Magazine |
September 3, 2007 -- In computers, communications, and consumer electronics, the transition from parallel to high-speed serial-data transmission is creating new design challenges. Increasing data rates push more bits per unit time through the sa ... read more |
| The 802.11n Standard: Grown Up at Last by EDN Magazine |
September 3, 2007 -- Even for a wireless-communications standard, the 802.11n specification has over the last several years been subject to an exceptionally messy development process. Battling vendors and standards proposals, predraft and postdr ... read more |
| FPGA-based Design Yields Low-Cost Arbitrary-Frequency Generator by EDN Magazine |
September 3, 2007 -- An FPGA-based design is perfect for producing an arbitrary-frequency generator with broad applications in biomedical devices and anywhere else that you need signals of highly accurate, precisely known frequency. There are so ... read more |
| Enterprise Applications Go Embedded by EDN Magazine |
August 30, 2007 -- Embedded systems today reach far beyond their traditional "hidden" roles of controlling airplanes, industrial machines and military devices to situations such as medical examining rooms, delivery trucks and even the repairman' ... read more |
| Power-Sensitive 65-nm Designs Increase the Need for Transistor-Level Verification by Synopsys, Inc. in EE Times EDA Designline |
August 27, 2007 -- The vision expressed in Moore's Law; that the number of transistors on a chip would double approximately every two years, has been driving the semiconductor industry for many process generations. Most of us have probably commi ... read more |
| Speed MATLAB by Optimizing Memory Access by MathWorks, Inc. in EE Times Signal Processing DesignLine |
August 27, 2007 -- Most MATLAB users want their code to be fast, especially when it is processing very large data sets. Because memory performance has not increased at the same rate as CPU performance, code today is often "memory-bound," its ove ... read more |
| How to Support Multiple SD Devices Using CPLDs by Xilinx, Inc. in EE Times Programmable Logic Designline |
August 22, 2007 -- There has been an increasing demand to add multiple Secure Digital (SD) devices in a single system. The problem, however, is that most host devices/ processors, for example Intel PXA270, TI OMAP, or Qualcomm MSM processors, on ... read more |
| A Bluespec Hardware Implementation of Sudoku by Bluespec, Inc. in EE Times EDA Designline |
August 21, 2007 -- You might be asking, "Why would anyone create a hardware implementation of Sudoku?" Or even, "What does this have to do with me and what I do?" The simple answer is that we wanted a fun, thought-provoking demo. While this Sudo ... read more |
| Printed Electronics: Ink on the Brink by EDN Magazine |
August 16, 2007 -- Printed electronics may be the next big thing in our technological future and promises extremely low-cost, flexible, and disposable circuitry that you can manufacture with custom ink-jet printers or high-speed presses. Leading ... read more |
| Design For Manufacturing: Still not Ready for Prime Time? by Electronic Design Magazine |
August 16, 2007 -- In EDA, two primary areas still have room for innovation. One is at high levels of abstraction (above RTL), where a stalwart band of startups as well as one or two of EDA's heavier commercial hitters continue to seek a solid ... read more |
