Like its predecessor, the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), PCI Express is becoming a ubiquitous system interface. Unlike PCI, PCI Express adopts a Serializer/Deserializer (SERDES) interface to provide users with the scalability required for future applications. As system bandwidths increase, more applications are...
In less than a decade, tens of billions of electronic devices will be connected to the Internet-of-Things (IoT), a vast infrastructure of smart products that represent tens of thousands of different applications. Each of us will typically interact with hundreds of devices every day in order to control and monitor systems...
Adding security to a device costs extra money, time, power consumption and makes everything worse. The only reason for adding security to a device is the need to improve marketing – security components help to sell more products. To participate in the evolution of Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things and cloud technologies...
Rail voltages are getting smaller, and tolerances are decreasing. As a result, making accurate power rail measurements has become much more difficult.
Industry dynamics are driving both a decrease in rail voltage values as well as tighter tolerances across a wide range of rails. Making an accurate ripple measurement...
An integral part of modern RF/microwave circuit design is circuit simulation and evaluation in which scattering parameters (S-parameters) for each element of a system are utilized to predict the overall small signal performance as the elements are cascaded to form the entire system.
This paper describes...
Today, R&D engineers face challenging time-to-market goals. Extending the product development schedule and delaying the product launch can prove to be extremely costly in terms of opportunity cost and lost market share. Nearly 50% of products fail EMC compliance the first time.
Every day spent on debugging, isolating...
Digital power is one of the most important technologies for reducing power consumption and managing the growing power complexity in modern electronic systems.
This paper explores the many benefits for system designers working with digital power modules, and shows how digital power modules can simplify the design of...
Ever since the first watermills and windmills were used to generate electricity, energy harvesting has been an attractive source of energy with great potential. In recent years, energy harvesting technology has become more sophisticated and efficient, and energy storage technologies, such as supercapacitors and thin-film...
This webinar helps decision makers as well as design and test engineers understand the different risk categories and test concepts for wireless coexistence testing for products belonging to the smart home, smart city, medical, smart health and automotive domain.
We will be talking about how to classify connected products...
System integrators need edge computing platforms that are flexible, open, off-the-shelf, and plug-and-play to unleash the full potential of the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT). Big Data is the new oil for industry, and the parallels between the two commodities are striking. Unleashing the latent value within data...

Power has always been a design consideration. Traditionally, though, a lower priority has been assigned to power than to most other variables (speed/performance, cost, time-to-market, risk, etc.). In today’s marketplace, however, power has become a very important component in the designer’s decision making...
Advanced modeling techniques centric to motor and power stage dynamics can yield significant gains in motor control efficiency, assuring precise control that adapts to fluctuations in system behavior in real time.
Through the application of sensorless vector control, designers can enhance the performance and lower...
An Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) is a common analog building block and almost always is needed when interfacing digital logic, like that in an FPGA or CPLD, to the “real world” of analog sensors.
This white paper will explain the implementation of both a low frequency (DC to 1K Hz) and higher...
Macro-scale energy harvesting technologies in the form of windmills, watermills and passive solar power systems have been around for centuries. Now, as designers seek to cut the cords, they turn to microenergy harvesting systems that can scavenge milliwatts from solar, vibrational, thermal and biological sources.
