Converting expectations	09/08/2010
How a 1ppm d/a converter can ease precision instrumentation design problems. By Maurice Egan.

Beat the clock: System design and frequency management	09/08/2010
Clocks are the 'heart beat' of almost all electronic systems and clock management is an especially important part of the overall system design. Since clock accuracy, stability and overall signal quality affect system performance, choosing the right timing solution that fits the design application ... Read more

CMOS' future depends on statistics	09/08/2010
As semiconductor dimensions decrease, the distribution of dopant atoms becomes a statistical problem.

Operating under more pressure: Embedded microcontrollers	09/08/2010
The challenges involved in developing high integrity applications for the new generation of powerful, low cost microcontrollers.

Sensors - A clever touch	12/07/2010
Driven by the influence of products such as the iPod, capacitive touch sensing is finding wider application and support. By Graham Pitcher.

Powering efficiency	12/07/2010
How a flyback controller can achieve 90% efficiency and reduce component count.

Packing potential: a critical aspect of the semiconductor design process	21/06/2010
The delicate pieces of silicon which enable the functionality we take for granted have to be encapsulated in some way or another and the signals they process routed to and from the host pcb.

A matter of scale: Integrated device eases industrial signal scaling issues	21/06/2010
In an industrial environment, the control of machinery or the control of process is done with the help of programmable logic controllers and distributed control systems. Both have monitoring and controlling functions, as they include analogue I/O modules that can receive input signals from sensors ... Read more

Beyond the reference design	21/06/2010
Speeding development through customised embedded platforms.

Sounds good: Microsystems research and development	07/06/2010
How MEMS technology is helping to improve audio quality in consumer goods.

Coordinating collaboration: Board level technology	07/06/2010
PCB designers are leading the way towards better cross discipline design and collaboration.

Viewpoints: Have you unplugged yet?	27/05/2010
A few years ago, the future of the 8 and 16bit mcu was being questioned. As embedded applications grew more and more complex, the hardware scene was likely to be dominated by fpgas, asics, cplds and SoCs. Would the traditional general purpose mcu survive? (Online Article)

The future’s bright … the future’s programmable logic	24/05/2010
In the 1990s, programmable logic was being touted as the technology of the future. The ability to do with it almost what you wanted was seen as the route to true systems on chips and programmable logic was set to grab a serious chunk of the asic business.

Does-your-previously-approved-power-supply-meet-UK-plug-pin-requirements

Plug and play: Directives and standards	24/05/2010
Does your 'previously approved' power supply meet UK plug pin requirements?

Targeting testability: Design for testability needs simple solutions	24/05/2010
In spite of enormous development and production improvements, electronic components continue to fail and not one manufacturing technique will guarantee a 100% fault free pcb. Faulty assemblies must not be delivered and the requirement for testing is obvious.

How new coding approach helps optical systems to hit 100Gbit/s	24/05/2010
There are several reasons why engineers are working harder when designing high capacity optical systems – higher data rates mean fewer photons per optical pulse and there is greater signal dispersion. Adding to the challenge, service providers want the reach of 40 and 100Gbit/s systems to match ... Read more

Asics can make sense in rf	10/05/2010
Ultra low power mixed signal and rf asics enable new opportunities.

State of mind	10/05/2010
State machine design; as easy as telling the time.

Power to the people	10/05/2010
Research by UK companies is looking to develop higher capacity batteries.

Keeping filters in focus	26/04/2010
Digital domain filters can play an essential role when used with delta-sigma a/d converters.

DSCs come to the forefront	26/04/2010
Digital signal controllers bring benefits to integration, value and performance.

Developing rugged robots for the nuclear industry	20/04/2010
Robots have fascinated humans for many years and the idea of having a remotely controlled or autonomous machine at our beck and call has always appealed. But robots are becoming increasingly important in areas where humans cannot go – from war zones to hazardous industrial environments. The ... Read more

The heart of the matter	13/04/2010
Technology development is an important part of the Mayo Clinic's health care provision.

Another dimension	13/04/2010
How programmable logic is adding another dimension to its abilities.

Fuelling speculation	23/03/2010
While fuel cells are beginning to find wider application, developing them for portable devices remains problematic.
