Processor-Based 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: This presentation will go over some of the common issues encountered when setting up performing circuit simulation of high speed serial designs. Topics will include s-parameter passivity and causality, frequency sampling and bandwidth and how they relate to simulation accuracy, model... more

EDN also... more

Webcast: Digital control is sweeping the motor driver industry, bringing increased efficiency, quieter operation, better response, and other benefits. This half hour webinar gives an introduction to many of the techniques used in digital stepper motor control and the advantages they offer. It also covers... 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: 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

Webcast: The first LTE FDD networks have been already launched and analysts expect that the first TD-LTE based network will follow in 2011. In contrast to third generation mobile communications systems the TDD mode follows FDD very closely with respect to standardization and base station and handset... more
