As the compute paradigm migrates from desktops and laptops to mobile devices and cloud storage, developers have been forced to judge storage solutions beyond the simple dollar per gigabyte (GB)…
Whilst it is easy to discuss Energy Star and energy efficiency (meaning active efficiency and no load power) requirements of external power supplies with customers, it is harder to have…
Over the years, a number of methods have been proposed to realize fractional-N frequency synthesis that are based on the basic concepts of traditional integer-N synthesis [1,5]. Among these methods,…
With increasingly sophisticated Smartphones and mobile devices offering more features and un-tethered instant access to data, news and entertainment, consumers are spending more time using their devices. Users are demanding…
This white paper will provide the reader with a practical selection guide to the communication mechanisms and media for remote maintenance and remote control technology that are relevant to them.

Aerosol cleaning introduces a continuous supply of clean, or virgin, solvent throughout the entire cleaning process. Aerosol cleaning prevents the introduction of new contaminants. While there are some obvious pros…
Lattice Semiconductor has introduced two low cost FPGA families with SERDES, the LatticeECP2M, introduced in 2007, and the most recent family, the LatticeECP3. The ECP2M and ECP3 FPGAs provide designers…
The goals of this technical brief are to introduce the three basic ways monitoring can help achieve savings. It will conclude with some insight on system scaling and a few…
A medical ultrasound uses highfrequency sound waves to produce diagnostic images of organs, joints, blood vessels, and other internal body structures. Quiet operation is important as the device is typically…
Electronic products are getting progressively smaller in response to user demand, and in some cases engineers are obligated to select smaller components due to size requirements.
This article will examine recent…
This white paper describes switch-mode power supplies and traditional circuit breakers, and explains the technology behind a new solid-state technology. It later explains how it solved a long-standing problem affecting…
The rapidly growing number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the road requires more charging infrastructures to top off energy so that EVs can get back on road quickly. An EV…
