Intel marks strongest Q1 to Q2 growth since 1988, expects continued growth in Q3
7/15/2009Intel reports that in anticipation of a seasonally up second half, the electronics supply chain has began refilling inventory positions that had been depleted over the past two quarters. As a result, Intel experienced better-than-expected demand for MPUs and chipsets in Q2 and lowered inventory by an additional $240 million in the June quarter.
Design mingles with test across domains
7/9/2009The lines between electrical-engineering disciplines are continually blurring, with traditional test products taking on design chores and vice versa.
Small-delay-defect testing
7/9/2009SDD automatic-test-pattern generation breaks the nanometer-quality barrier.
FPGA verification in embedded video-processing systems
7/9/2009FPGAs can be great at video processing, but verifying FPGA-based video systems requires careful attention to your approach.
High-level software for embedded-system design doing your job?
7/9/2009Domain experts are gaining more control of embedded-system design, but electronic- and code-design skills remain key to successful projects.
Ultra-low-power microcontroller family brings accuracy, low power to three-phase metering
7/2/2009Accurate, low power, and tamper proof are the key features of the new generation of smart meters that will enable the infrastructure of the smart grid.
Accelerating consumers' NAS adoptions: assessing your product options
6/25/2009Network storage is a notably bright spot in the otherwise-blah consumer-electronics economy. Carefully select and cull hardware, software, and their jointly implemented features to ensure product success.
USB 3.0: A simple idea full of challenges
6/11/2009Combining 5 Gbps with the convenience of USB sounds like a sure win, but many issues are hiding behind the premise.
Touch sensors allow for variations in parasitic capacitance
6/23/2009Capacitive-touch sensors can detect a finger touch by measuring capacitive changes on the touch pad.
EDA companies tout RF design, links to test
7/9/2009From RF/microwave-circuit-design tools to electromagnetic simulation, EDA companies work with instrument vendors to get high-performance, high-quality products to market.
Industry takes aim at 22-nm interconnect stack
7/14/2009Semicon West: Researchers are discovering that 22 nm may be beyond the end of the sidewalk for much of the technology we use today to fabricate the interconnect stack on ICs. Things—whether materials choices, processing techniques, or design parameters—will have to change to reach manufacturable 22-nm ICs.
FPGAs storm military spending
7/14/2009While ASICS have traditionally been the devices of choice for military and defense, FPGAs’ improvements in performance and their lower costs for applications requiring fewer parts have given the programmable logic devices more traction in that market in recent years, according to some.
Voices: Avnet’s Jeff Ittel: Think board to go broad
6/25/2009Avnet's Jeff Ittel discusses designing across the board and its benefits to distributors and engineers.
