| Fuzzy-logic design tools help
build embedded systems
|
Fuzzy logic is slowly catching on, and fuzzy design tools are getting better: They don't just help design fuzzy logic, they let you create complete embedded systems.

| Asynchronous conversion thwarts incompatibility in sampling A/D systems
|
By using asynchronous sample-rate conversion, you can eliminate the problem of repeated or dropped signals that can occur when interconnecting systems with incompatible clock rates.

| Electromagnetic theory imposes
constraints on pc-board design
|
An understanding of electromagnetic effects often leads to a better pc-board design than prototyping and debugging in the lab using traditional rules of thumb.

| Analog HDLs advance speed
and enhance modeling flexibility
|
Analog HDLs have been commercially available for years, but their acceptance in mainstream analog and mixed-signal design may coincide with an industry-standard languageor two.
