Cover Story

  • Sensor-rich designs

    Designers are adding sensors and intelligent processing to fill the holes in their end-system capabilities, and it is yielding designs that cost less to produce and operate.

Design Features

  • Bridging the new DisplayPort standard

    Developers of the new DisplayPort standard designed it for efficiency. However, DisplayPort's partitioning differs from that of TMDS-based architectures, and engineers need approaches for bridging DisplayPort with the earlier HDMI and DVI standards.
  • Designing embedded-system applications with high-level tools

    High-level programming languages help you more quickly deploy your application, but careful attention to details can improve the performance of your code and lead to an efficient application that you can still develop in a timely manner.
  • Measurement-based simulation simplifies analysis of lossy backplanes and cables

    A systematic approach uses DSO-based TDR and TDT measurements to construct models whose simulated response displays an uncanny resemblance to the response of the real hardware.
