Cover Story
- Harmony at home: digital-home networking
As digital data becomes pervasive, designers must deliver in-home devices that automatically interact to simplify operation and share content. - FROM EDN EUROPE: Reconfigurable systems shape up for diverse application tasks
Hard times for the electronics industry have led to conservative design approaches. With design starts recovering, designers are renewing their interest in radical techniques in the race to gain an edge in system cost and power demand.
Design Features
- Noise 101
A few basic concepts, presented in this first installment of a two-part series, can get you started thinking about designing for low noise.
Leading Edge
- LED modules give ultrawide angle
- Flash-memory transformation responds to application and competition evolutions
- Rocker ensures that your products roll
- 1U-high programmable power system makes scopelike transient measurements
- FROM EDN EUROPE: MOSFET technology allows rapid design of product variants
- FROM EDN EUROPE: FPGA tools follow ASICs into physical awareness
- FROM EDN EUROPE: DSP family bridges professional and consumer audio
- FROM EDN EUROPE: Gateway boards simplify VoIP designs
- FROM EDN EUROPE: DSP platform enables security-system development
- Process migrations, design optimizations squeeze out additional speed
- Power supplies celebrate diversity
- Solid-state industrial relay follows today’s slimming trend
- Small and medium displays are sharp in two ways
- Messaging layer for network processors and coprocessors promotes interoperability
- Device enables next-generation home networking
- Tool helps design reuse
How It Works
- DNA lab on chip rests on MEMS foundation
A low-cost, disposable, silicon-based platform outperforms conventional systems for doing molecular diagnostics.
Tech Trends
- LEDs glow in anticipation
LEDs dominate indicator applications in electronics and now outshine incandescents even in traffic lights and automobile-brake lights. That scenario is just the start.
