Probing the heart of PC motherboards
EDN flew in specialized “surgeons” from around the globe to perform
exploratory surgery on state-of-the-art PC motherboards. The team used HP’s logic
analyzers to measure the arterial data flow through the systems. Their findings provide
valuable information for the design of your next PC-based application.

IC temperature sensors find the hot spots
Real-time temperature measurements ensure that today’s smaller and faster systems
operate in the safe thermal zone. The newest IC temperature sensors monitor external- and
internal-component hot spots with pinpoint accuracy.
