Cover Story
- Upward spiral: optical storage
Optical storage (r)evolves to higher capacities, enhanced capabilities. - FROM EDN EUROPE: Structured ASICs: More gain, less pain?
Structured ASICs give you leading-edge performance at a manageable cost.
Design Features
- Creating quasistatic, parameterized FPGA designs
New configuration approaches can lead to easier system designs, benefiting a range of applications. Reducing the overall pin count, interface complexity, and resource usage also enables FPGAs to be a flexible digital-signal-processing alternative to DSP architectures. - Motoring to success
Choosing the right motor can make all the difference for your system. - Seven trends in fiber-optic communication
Trends evident at recent conferences and trade shows reveal technological interdependencies that give rise to complex marketplace relationships.
