Cover Story

  • Laying seamless WiMax fabric

    Chip sets are emerging that add WiMax capability to mobile PC and cell-phone applications, while lab and production-test equipment evolves to keep pace.

Design Features

  • Heads and tails: Design RF amplifiers for linearity and efficiency

    Base stations and handsets need RF amplifiers with high linearity and efficiency. With some clever techniques, designers can align these mutually exclusive goals.
  • Boost efficiency for low-cost flyback converters

    Many devices employ flyback converters because of their simplicity and low cost—not their stellar efficiency. But don't too quickly eliminate flybacks from your list of options. With a few little-known tricks, you can improve power loss by nearly 10%.
  • Critical clock-domain-crossing bugs

    Awareness of CDC issues, along with the use of good design practices and proven EDA tools for CDC verification, can avoid costly silicon re-spins and significantly improve time to market.
