Since Point of Loads (POLs) are small, efficient and relatively inexpensive, their utility in providing common powering voltages to groups of IC loads has resulted in their rapid adoption and proliferation.
With the everincreasing complexity of today’s boards, the number of individual voltages required...

Today, R&D engineers face challenging time-to-market goals. Extending the product development schedule and delaying the product launch can prove to be extremely costly in terms of opportunity cost and lost market share. Nearly 50% of products fail EMC compliance the first time.
Every day spent on debugging, isolating...

This Application Note was written to provide insight into the one time requirement for ‘type’ testing of power supplies by the safety agency or manufacturer. It will assist in the interpretation of requirements for this testing and provide broad guidelines on exactly what is required of the manufacturer in...

Little doubt exists about contemporary battery power and its diverse use potential. With the advent of lighter, smaller, higher powered, lower amperage cells, the technological applications have become “understandably” broad. Significantly, the use of portable medical devices which are battery-powered, has...

When designing links, SI engineers often begin with a specific connector platform and then modify system variables such as trace length, dielectric materials, and equalization settings to achieve acceptable performance.
This paper takes a different approach by setting various system and equalizer parameters to slightly...

Credit, debit and ATM card fraud costs consumers, merchants and financial institutions billions in losses every year. The payment card industry has responded by creating the PCI security standard. Merchants that fail to comply with PCI face increased risk of security breaches and substantial contractual penalties.

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...

Deembedding, often a necessary and complex task, is made easier with an integrated hardware and software solution. Whether you are debugging a high-speed interface such as DDR or PCIe, characterising a fast clock or analysing a complex RF signal, you want to see the real signal and not artifacts of the test setup such...

This paper provides an overview of controller hardware and firmware technology. Managing the interfaces to non-volatile memory such as NAND flash on one side and to a host system on the other, as well as translating the different protocols used on both sides, is a basic function of all controllers. Additionally, flash...
