A "copy-ready" reference design became a worldwide hit. Talking to the engineer in charge of it all, Paul Rako reveals the story behind the design’s success.
As semiconductor developers have shown at the 2019 IEEE IMS, 5G infrastructure is well on its way around the world—and the U.S. has quite a bit of catching up to do.
The seemingly ubiquitous bypass capacitor is an important component in design, especially when dealing with high frequencies. But what’s the driving force behind its usage?
Equipped with an efficient JESD interface, this dual-channel ADC reaches 5.2 Gsamples/s per channel with an 8-GHz bandwidth, meeting the needs of 5G as well as advanced radar and instrumentation systems.
When selecting a gate driver, designers should be fully aware of specifications that could make or break achieving the required IGBT switching performance.
Building blocks for many commercial and military systems operating well into the mmWave frequency range can be found at the 2019 International Microwave Symposium.
LTE technology has what it takes to address Internet of Things applications across the board, ranging from gaming and mobile computing to smart metering and asset tracking.
Researchers developed an ion-gated transistor with relatively high transconductance and speed that can be used in analog or digital circuits such as EEG front-end “integrated” circuits.
Infineon Technologies said it would buy Cypress Semiconductor for $10.1 billion, transforming it into the world's largest producer of chips used in automobiles and giving it more scale to succeed in the Internet of Things. The deal...
