The pace of innovation has changed. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can no longer take years to introduce new products or update functionality in existing products. If your customers can’t get what they want, when they want it, they’re quick to go elsewhere.
OEMs in nearly every industry are becoming...

Two methods can be used to re-design loop-gain digitally for the power supply converters: digital redesign method and direct digital design method. In the digital redesign method, the controller is designed in the continuous-time domain, and then discretized into the discrete-time form.
In the direct digital design...

As lead-free gains momentum, many engineers are striving to set-up a wave solder process that maintains production yields but also offer reliable assemblies. Much has been written on these topics in the past 5 years.
Less confusion does exist today about alloy choices available to replace leaded solders, however many...

Deembedding, often a necessary and complex task, is made easier with an integrated hardware and software solution. Whether you are debugging a high-speed interface such as DDR or PCIe, characterising a fast clock or analysing a complex RF signal, you want to see the real signal and not artifacts of the test setup such...
