Come check out the latest in EDA, analog, embedded, power, and green design from the ED editors. .. design solution | Harmonic Distortion And Board LayoutWhen you're thinking about how to lay out components on a printed-circuit board, remember that the board itself may introduce nonlinearities into your signal. That's because while the board material is electrically linear (constant impedance), the board's layout is spatially nonlinear with respect to where currents flow, causing a problem.

It is hard to believe, in today's world of miniaturization and shrinking components, that the first transistor ever created can be seen by the naked eye. Sixty years later, these devices can only be seen with the help of an extremely powerful microscope. Billions of them can fit into the space occupied by their ancestor.

- How would you sum up your experience with the 555 timer IC?
- I've used the 555 in the past but probably won't in the future
- I have used the 555 but am open to alternatives if they fit my design
- I prefer the 555 in my current projects and will continue using it
- I wouldn't be caught dead using a 555
- What's a 555?

Portable Designs with High-Power Batteries and Chargers Presented by Micro Power If you missed the Webcast's launch on Dec. 5, here's your chance to catch up. Robin Sarah Tichy, PhD, Technical Marketing Manager at Micro Power Electronics Inc., provides an industry update and profiles new high-power (or high-pulse) rechargeable lithium batteries. Traditional lithium batteries support pulses of 5 A, while new high-power batteries support pulses over 100 A, enabling many new portable applications. This archived Webcast details cell configurations, chemical formulations, electrical performance, safety issues, limitations, and sample performance data. Click here to register... |
Before you decide that this book is only for novice system-attackers, consider some of the latest advances in debugging, such as hot patching of applications and operating systems. The techniques presented in this book are the same as those used to implement these very useful features.
