Top 50 Employers in Electronic Design
Some companies took risks to put pieces in the right places—and in the end they spelled success.
Moving Bluetooth Low Energy Closer to the Mainstream
Revisions to the Bluetooth core specification and chip advances will increase the impact of this ultra-low-power RF technology.
Gigasample ADCs Promise Direct RF Conversion
Designers working with ever-smaller geometry process nodes clamor for gigahertz ADCs to help simplify architectures and shrink design times.
Apply IEEE 1500 to Integrate Multiple JTAG Chains in SoCs
A hierarchical DFT approach using a standard and unified interface facilitates the testing of large designs without adding area or test costs.
DESIGN IDEAS
Offset Compensation Technique Improves Bridge-Configured Sensor Performance
Due to the unavoidable, low signal levels of bridge-configured sensors, offsets in the amplifier chain can cause significant error in readings. This circuit switches the bridge signals via a multiplexer, and with some software processing, it greatly reduces the offset-induced error with low additional burden on system resources.
Audio Function Generator Provides Three Simultaneous Square, Triangle, Sine Waveforms
This all-analog circuit provides three key waveforms simultaneously and at the same frequency within the audio band. It is useful for evaluating audio systems, transformers, cables, and other electrical installations.
