Component / Hardware / Interconnect
Product information as well as design tips about passive devices and other components such as LEDs, LCDs, switches, sensors, cables, connectors, and motors. These are frequently used to design stable control systems or to show stability in control systems.
Computers / Boards / Buses
News and technical information on computers PCBs, motherboards, platforms, etc., as well as information devices that are hooked up externally such as USBs. Includes computer networking devices that mediate data in a computer network, such as network equipment, gateways, routers, ethernet switches and multilayer switches, and modems.
Digital Den
Technical information on products that enable consumers to connect, manage, and share digital media such as digital music, video games, and digital photos. Topics include media hub, video codec, iptv, digital home, mp3 player, music player, and other consumer electronics devices.
Digital ICs
News, technical information and the latest developments of digital integrated circuits such as microprocessors, SDH multiplexers, comparators, duplexers, and demodulators. Digital ICs, typically microprocessors, DSPs, and micro controllers work using binary mathematics to process "one" and "zero" signals.
DSP
News and technical information for designers and developers who select microprocessors, microcontrollers, DSPs (digital signal processors), and DSCs (digital signal controllers) for embedded designs, as well as developers that specify, generate, test, and maintain software for such systems.
EDA Tools and IP Cores
News and information on software and tools for design and automation, as well as comprehensive coverage of the challenges IC designers face, the most significant technologies produced by providers of EDA (electronic design automation) tools and IP (intellectual property) cores, and the design methodologies other IC designers are using.
Embedded Development Tools
Technical and product information for designers of high-performance computing systems targeting embedded applications in the security, transportation, telecom, industrial control, military, aerospace, and medical markets. Covers board-level embedded hardware, development tools, and related software.
Memory
News and technical information on all kinds of memories, including volatile and non-volatile memories. Volatile memories include DRAM, eDRAM, SRAM, IT-SRAM and Z-RAM. Examples of non-volatile memories are ROM, PROM, EAROM, EPROM, EEPROM and flash memory.
Multimedia
The convergence of voice, data, and images is ever introducing new challenges for the multimedia designer. This section discusses the problems and the solutions.
Network Processors
News and technical information for design engineers working on products that span the range from home networks to enterprise networks to core telecom/datacomm networks. Covers all pertinent standards and design challenges ranging from cost in home networks to reliability in core networks.
Peripherals
News and information on computer hardware that is added to a host computer in order to expand its abilities; i.e. devices that are optional in nature. Typical examples would include USBs, joysticks, printers and scanners.
Power Sources / Controllers
News and in-depth technical information for system designers responsible for specifying or selecting power sources for electronics applications. Topics include power supplies, components including dc-dc converters, batteries, digital power, and alternative energy technology.
Processors & Tools
News and technical information on microprocessors and the tools that are used in designing microprocessors. With the advent into very deep nanometrics, the design needs and the tools used for designing are constantly changing.
Programmable Logic
News and technical information on programmable logic devices (PLDs, CPLDs) that offer a wide range of logic capacity, features, speed, and voltage characteristics that enable designers use inexpensive software tools to quickly develop, simulate, and test their designs.
Signal Integrity
One of the greatest design challenges into deep nanometrics is signal integrity. Power issues are further complicating the signal integrity issue. This section deals with the problems arising due to distortions introduced into signals, and how to remedy them.
Software
News and information on three major classes: system software, programming software and application software. Topics include operating system, PLM, product life cycle management, Windows Vista, virtual instrumentation, programming, language, text editor, IDE, GUI or graphical user interface, and open source software.
Test & Measurement
News and technical information about test & measurement equipment and strategies from the point of view of the R&D or design and development engineer. Topics include T&M hardware such as oscilloscopes and signal generators/analyzers, as well as software and test methodologies.
