Applied System Design

Webcast: Die bonders can perform epoxy die attach at a rate of 1.5 to 4 thousand die per hour, and wire bonders can interconnect complex packages at speeds of more than 10 wires per second. There is one major concern with operating at these speeds: if something in the assembly process is wrong, everything... more

Webcast: Digital Power Conversion helps solve real world challenges: higher energy efficiency, lower cost, higher reliability, and other benefits. This half hour webinar gives an introduction to many of the challenges to power conversion designers, as well the benefits of digital power conversion, such as... more

Webcast: LEDs are relatively simple, inherently dimmable devices. The tricky part is making sure that your new solid-state lighting design is compatible with the existing base of dimming switches which were designed for now-obsolete incandescent lighting. EDN's panel of experts in power management for... more

Webcast: Smart, efficient energy power systems - such as those in the server racks at a data farm or a telecom facility -- will increasingly rely on digital power management to gauge the environment, health and most of all, the efficiency of large power installations. The architecture for digital power can... more

Webcast: Current through an LED affects both the lifetime and light output of the LED. This webinar discusses the trade-offs involved in selecting drive currents and discuss methods for controlling and dimming. Join EDN Technical Editor Margery Conner for a webinar panel discussion featuring senior... more

Webcast: A key ability in ensuring energy efficiency the ability to measure power right where it's used. Smart power meters are finding uses far beyond the utility power meter - they're being embedded in power supplies at the point-of-use. Accuracy, calibration, and communications capability are just a few... more

Webcast: Power used to be a secondary concern when it comes to chip or system design, but with the rapid rise in importance of mobile devices, increasing chip densities, and a rise in the levels of concurrency, power consumption, power dissipation, heat dissipation, and power integrity and becoming major... more

Webcast: Wireless sensor networks have cut the communication cord - but what about the power cord? Energy harvesting, from sources such as solar, vibrational thermoelectric and inductive, is one way to power sensors "in the wild." This webinar give an overview of the various energy harvesting technologies... more
