Cover Story
- Target practice
Design verification and design closure are EDA's most pressing problems, and they require creative solutions.
Design Features
- Circuit-board design for 10-Gbit XFP optical modules
Compact, hot-pluggable, and data-agnostic, XFP modules bring 10 Gbps to a flexible new form factor. - Bargain shopping: searching for inexpensive programmable-logic assistance
The same economic pressures that are intensifying your desire for less-than-$100 design tools are also shrinking the number of options that meet your low-cost criteria. Fortunately, careful sleuthing can still uncover some bargains.
Leading Edge
- Kit eases you off the grid and onto LEDs
- Off-the-shelf software provides high availability
- Modular data-acquisition system offers possibilities galore
- Microstepping motor-drive IC puts you on LIN bus
- Antifuse FPGA shoots for the stars
- Product profusion portends a return to past form
- Experts and novices alike will lust after the latest LabView
How It Works
- Sound savings: Portable audio recorder takes on tape, part 1
DAT gear is rapidly disappearing from manufacturer warehouses and store shelves. What will replace it? Core Sound, along with a symphony of worldwide development partners, delivers a harmonic proposal.
