My wife and I decided to watch one of our favorite movies, Apollo 13. I pulled out the DVD, popped it in the player, and… nothing. It was rather frustrating. We had watched it relatively recently with no indication that the media was going bad. No dropped frames. No problems trying to read the disk...
An eight-channel audio DSP from Texas Instruments delivers higher fidelity to car audio while providing cost-effective audio processing for home theater systems. The TAS3108’s audio processing enables up to 7.1-channel processing in digital TVs, home theater-in-a-box systems, and automotive head units and external amplifiers...
Do you sell products in China or import into China? If so, this webcast is for you. China has taken a somewhat different approach to the European Union's RoHS directive in a number of critical areas, which will very likely have a major impact on you and your business—whether you're a manufacturer, distributor, importer, or retailer. View today!
Inductive Boost DC-DC Converter Powers Series-Connected White LEDs
Advanced Analogic Technologies’ AAT1231 high-frequency, high-efficiency inductive boost dc-dc converter controls white LEDs in portable systems operating from single-cell lithium-ion/polymer batteries. Delivering 50 mA up to 24 V, it can drive up to six white LEDs in series or up to 12 white LEDs in a parallel/series configuration...
Processor Includes Core Functions For Portable Multimedia
The MP201 application processor integrates the core functions needed in portable multimedia devices. Replacing as many as three discrete chips, it features on-chip video and audio data processors, integrated memory, and peripheral interfaces...
Products based on the 802.11 WLAN standard stay strong, thanks to a steady stream of new innovations and applications.\[ Technology Report \]SIC Of Figuring Out The Best ASIC Solution?
Programmable ASICs—application-specific (or sporadic?) integrated circuits—bridge the gap between FPGAs and standard-cell ASICs.\[ Leapfrog: First Look \]One Smart Serial RapidIO Switch
This pre-processing Serial RapidIO switch reduces DSP cluster processing load by 20% or more.\[ Design View/Design Solution \]Will Your 802.11n Products Have Next-Generation Performance?
Channel emulation is critical to ensuring repeatable testing of MIMO technology because it submits RF signals to real-world multipath conditions.
