Embedded-system designers are using the latest switched-fabric technology to not only boost data rates, but also dynamically optimize performance, bypass failed subsystems, and coexist with legacy components.
Many devices employ flyback converters because of their simplicity and low costnot their stellar efficiency. But don't too quickly eliminate flybacks from your list of options. With a few little-known tricks, you can improve power loss by nearly 10%.
Base stations and handsets need RF amplifiers with high linearity and efficiency. With some clever techniques, designers can align these mutually exclusive goals.
