Cover Story
- Hack this: secure embedded systems
As hackers move down the food chain from desktops to embedded systems, hardware-and software-security decisions dominate the design process.
Design Features
- Memories to die for: using bare dice for flash-memory systems
Developing a reliable, cost-effective memory subsystem using known good dice requires careful planning. - Digital-diagnostic-monitoring functions for optoelectronic transceivers
For some commonly cited analog signals in optoelectronic transceivers, engineers must analyze the impact that errors have. - On the gold in PON: passive optical networks
PON (passive-optical-network) access technologies can reflect the value of higher order network structures.
Leading Edge
