Advanced DRAM puts you in the fast lane
Direct RDRAM, which targets 1999 and later PCs, is now public. Is the race for PC main memory over, or are double-data-rate SDRAM and SLDRAM still in the running? And is there room for other DRAM architectures in the diverse embedded-application base?

Remystifying ADCs
In an earlier article, "Demystifying ADCs," we explored the ins and outs of high-speed ADCs. Here, we revisit the topic, only to learn that ADCs are as mystifying as they were before.

CMOS image sensors: eclipsing CCDs in visual information?
Developments in CMOS image-sensor technology bring new light to applications for cameras and machine vision. Because of integrated signal processing and active pixels, products such as low-power cameras-on-a-chip are possible.
