5G is now and what’s next?
5G deployments have only recently started, and releases beyond R15 will continue to tap into the tremendous potential of 5G. However, as a new generation of cellular technology typically appears every 8-10 years, 6G can be expected around 2030.

Ethernet seems to be one of the fastest growing transmission protocols ever, on both medium types, fiber and copper. Over fiber it easily reaches 40G and 100G transmission speed but in the future it may achieve even 400G or tera-level speed.
Over copper, of course, much lower speeds are achieved and 1G Ethernet has...

Energy Harvesting (EH) is the process of electronically capturing and accumulating energy from a variety of energy sources deemed wasted or otherwise said to be unusable for any practical purpose. Energy harvesting, or energy scavenging as the process is sometimes referred to, is associated with capturing residual energy...

Most NAND Flash based 2.5” SSDs have RAM caches for high IOPS, the contents of which take multiple write cycles (written to flash) to store safely. One of the disadvantages of this scheme is that the extra RAM memory and supercaps add to the physical space, cost and unreliability of the product (compared to Swissbit...

Because wireless systems are typically located out of doors and have components located on towers and tall buildings, they are especially susceptible to damage from lightning.
Therefore, it is important that a lightning protection system be designed and implemented at the same time the wireless system is being designed...

This white paper focuses on isolated digital interfaces conforming to RS-485, which continues to be the industry’s workhorse standard for data transmission. The paper provides an overview of RS-485’s common-mode voltage range (CMVR) definition, and explains how isolating a transceiver’s signal and...

Timing components such as low jitter oscillators and clocks are necessary to facilitate increasing data rates in high speed digital designs. As part of the overall system design, the components also have to perform in the system’s non-ideal power integrity environment and limit the power supply induced phase noise...

Safety, availability, and cost considerations can make performing thorough tests of embedded control devices using the complete system impractical. Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation is a real-time test technique used to test these devices more efficiently. During HIL test, the physical system that interfaces...
