From the ashes: The next stage of EDA By Gabe Moretti, Technical Editor
Moore's Law is not dead, and the EDA industry is challenged with keeping it profitable. This task requires a change in focus from designing silicon structures to producing systems.
DDS design By David Brandon, Analog Devices
Direct digital synthesizers are known for their highly accurate digital tuning, low noise figure, and phase-continuous frequency-hopping capabilities, which make them more attractive than alternative analog frequency-synthesis solutions.
Take the heat: Cool that hot embedded design By Warren Webb, Technical Editor
With processor performance skyrocketing and systems shrinking, designers are scrambling to find creative ways to live with the heat that today's sizzling circuits generate.
FROM EDN EUROPE: Handling memory fragmentation By Jan Lindblad, Enea Embedded Technology
Fragmentation can be a sticky problem. How memory allocation occurs determines whether, when, and how memory fragmentation becomes an issue.
High-speed ADCs: preventing front-end collisions By Joshua Israelsohn, Technical Editor
Performance advances in communication technologies, imaging, instrumentation, and other data-dense applications critically depend on high-speed ADCs—the key link between computational resources and the real world.
