This paper will give an overview of both high and low throw-count RF switches used in different circuit locations in a typical mobile device design, and discuss how each performance specification and design feature will impact on the overall performance of your system. In addition, this paper will dive deeper inside each...
With the recent rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), 14 billion devices are now connected. However, the growth of this is also significant, by 2020 it is predicted that over 50 billion devices will be connected. With these devices connected, systems are opened up for remote access and control. In turn, this has shown...
A real-time operating system (RTOS) must be fast and responsive, schedule tasks and manage limited resources, and ensure functions are isolated and free of interference from other functions.
In this report, you’ll learn more about what is a real-time OS and the pros and cons of two types of RTOS architectures:...
Monitoring and managing are becoming ever more important aspects of our modern world. Nowhere is this more important than within buildings where sensors are being deployed to monitor and manage the environment in which we live and work as well as provide security and management of energy usage.
However, despite the...

One of the primary purposes of a gate driver is to enable power switches to turn on and off faster, improving rise and fall times. Faster switching enables higher efficiency and higher power density, reducing losses in the power stage associated with high slew rates. However, as slew rates increase, so do measurement and...
