The capacity and capability of modern FPGAs support the implementation of many digital systems, making FPGAs the platforms of choice for developing, prototyping, and deploying digital logic. Depending ....
The almost-mythological fourth generation of wireless service—4G—could be the fountainhead of an entirely new way of thinking about SOC (system-on-chip) architectures. Or it could drive a simple evolution ....
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, ....
The global price of energy is at an all-time high, with few signs of relief in sight, making consumers and businesses alike interested in energy conservation. Currently, the most common motor type in ....
Wireless links are becoming ubiquitous in electronic systems. At high data rates demanding wireless connections, WiMax and 3G cellular dominate, whereas, at the other extreme, standards such as ZigBee ....
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 ....
Slimmer cellphones with more functions and features have created a number of system-design challenges. The problems are well-known: managing energy consumption and minimizing noise while moving data around ....
Any technology that offers to free applications from power cords and wall warts will confer a definite salable edge on electronic devices. Applications that would benefit from wireless power range from ....
It is tempting to use an op amp to directly drive the input of a SAR (successive-approximation-register) ADC. Unfortunately, this configuration can limit circuit performance. An external RC (resistor-capacitor) ....
Sometimes designing an SOC (system on chip) on the latest and greatest process technology is not what it takes to make an impact on the cost-conscious consumer-electronics market. That’s a lesson LSI ....
