Such systems require the highest reliability and efficiency to minimise operating costs and build industry integrity for the developer.http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/mastering-power-modules-the-advantages-over-discrete-solutions/37468/http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/addressing-the-challenges-of-functional-safety-in-the-automotive-and-industrial-markets/37385/Real time control of safety critical applications has been a longtime challenge for engineers.http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/addressing-the-challenges-of-functional-safety-in-the-automotive-and-industrial-markets/37385/http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/hunting-noise-sources-in-wireless-embedded-systems/36980/When integrating a radio chip or module into a typical embedded system, a common and often frustrating task designers face is tracking down and eliminating noise and spurious signals. Potential noise sources include switching power supplies, digital noise from other parts of the system and external sources.http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/hunting-noise-sources-in-wireless-embedded-systems/36980/http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/software-development-from-a-birds-eye-view/36653/The white paper illustrates, by way of a practical example, how a modular software approach frees designers from such tedious and repetitive tasks as hardware implementation allowing them instead to focus on the fun part, ie designing the actual application.http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/software-development-from-a-birds-eye-view/36653/http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/memory-test-and-repair-solution-for-arm-processor-cores/36346/Many large SoC designs today incorporate several third party IP cores that cover a wide range of functionality.

Not surprisingly, high voltage processes require high voltage parametric testing for process control and reliability monitoring. This whitepaper will explore the challenges in the fact that these new high voltage requirements add to the list of parametric tests rather than replacing some portion of it.http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/gearing-up-for-parametric-tests-high-voltage-future/32886/http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/energy-debugging-tools-for-embedded-applications/32381/This whitepaper will discuss the growing number of embedded systems applications where energy saving and efficiency are at the top of developers' priorities. These constraints can be due to government regulations (e.g. metering applications), a requirement to increase battery life, or simply a need to lower the electricity bill.http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/energy-debugging-tools-for-embedded-applications/32381/http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/the-benefits-of-using-rigorously-tested-routines-from-numerical-libraries/32164/This white paper speaks to matters affecting computationally intensive new product simulations of electronic components and the mathematical and statistical methods that ultimately affect time to market. To the extent that electrical and electronics engineers' work involves significant numerical computations, it is timely to re-examine how computational frameworks are or are not designed for maximum performance.http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/the-benefits-of-using-rigorously-tested-routines-from-numerical-libraries/32164/http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/demystifying-analogue-and-mixed-signal-asics/31012/This white paper from JVD attempts to resolve several common misunderstandings about analogue and its role in an asic design.

Further enhancements to power and a smaller footprint, make it the design-in replacement in 2011 for nearly all existing x86 platforms except for the Intel Atom class. But what is it exactly that makes the new processors so attractive?http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/kontrons-2nd-generation-of-intel-core-processor-boards-feature-the-1st-generation-of-cross-platform-middleware/30483/http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/low-energy-dect-variant-targets-sensor-networks/30380/This white paper from SiTel Semiconductor looks at how a low energy DECT variant targets sensor networks.http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/low-energy-dect-variant-targets-sensor-networks/30380/http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/common-sense-frequency-synthesis/30256/Configuring a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) for a given frequency synthesis application can be, at the same time, both a quick and easy process as well as a time consuming, tedious, and iterative process. After determining a set of frequency synthesis parameters that meet the system needs, however, there is always the doubt: did I choose the best possible frequency synthesis parameters? Perhaps there is a different set that will run cleaner and consume less power or have more margin. It is these design choices that this article will attempt to shed some common sense design principles upon.http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/common-sense-frequency-synthesis/30256/http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/manage-and-secure-remote-systems-using-intel-active-management-technology-to-reduce-costs-and-increase-protection/28921/Networked devices such as digital signage, point-of-sale (POS) terminals, kiosks, and ATMs present unique challenges. A single enterprise may have hundreds or even thousands of these devices in locations around the globe. Managing these far-flung devices can be a difficult and expensive undertaking. Security is also a top concern for networked devices, which face threats from viruses, hackers, and other intrusions. These cost and security concerns can be addressed with Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) and IEI's iEZman remote management software. These technologies help eliminate unnecessary tasks, reduce costs, and improve the security of networked devices.http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/manage-and-secure-remote-systems-using-intel-active-management-technology-to-reduce-costs-and-increase-protection/28921/http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/securing-smart-grid-devices-using-virtualization-to-protect-the-grid/28920/Energy providers and governments worldwide are looking for ways to upgrade their energy systems. A big part of these efforts is the smart grid concept, which introduces networking and automation across the electrical system. The smart grid can give consumers and suppliers alike better monitoring and control of power consumption, leading to increased reliability, higher efficiency, and lower costs. However, computerization and connectivity bring with them the threat of security breaches and attacks.http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-whitepapers/securing-smart-grid-devices-using-virtualization-to-protect-the-grid/28920/
