Electronic Design UPDATE edited by Richard Gawel, Managing Editor
Cell-phone system designers have more choices today in picking a flash memory solution. Identifying and selecting the right solution that meets their design objectives is very important to ensure success. Of course, each memory solution has its pros and cons.
Read the full article..... focus on digital | So That's What An In-Flight Bomb Scare Feels Like By Daniel Harris, Digital Technology EditorWe supposedly live in the information and technology age, right? Boeing's 787 Dreamliner provides all kinds of electronic comforts (and 60 miles of wiring) for $162 million. A little security in all those gadgets isn't too much to expect. So why did my recent flight from San Francisco to Orlando get diverted to Denver because of a suspicious package?

With so many recent designs using one of the super-fast serial data buses, it's not surprising that someone would introduce a test instrument optimized for making measurements in these systems. LeCroy's WaveExpert 100H sampling oscilloscope can acquire, measure, and process signals that cannot be physically probed.
