Cover Story
- Eyeing jitter: shaking out why signals shake
Jitter may be the enemy of data integrity, but attacking jitter head-on is only one—and not always the fastest—way to end data corruption.
Design Features
- Asynchronous circuits: better power by design
Asynchronous circuits feature lower overall power consumption and reduce noise and electromagnetic radiation by more uniformly consuming power. Adopting asynchronous-circuit design poses many challenges, but solving these challenges is a compelling reason to do it. - Bluetooth interoperability: It's all in the details
Bluetooth faces interoperability issues on several fronts, all of which play a critical role in how quickly Bluetooth will penetrate the consumer market. - Congratulations to EDN's Innovation 2002 Winners
Check out the winners of this year's contest.

How It Works
- Turning point
Hewlett Packard's new Tablet PC may be loaded with features, but it's the not-so-simple rotating hinge that will turn heads.
Tech Trends
- Click picks
Functionally equivalent but hardly equals, a variety of analog switches offers a range of parametric characteristics.
