Stackable architectures diverge By Warren Webb, Technical Editor
Although standards organizations differ on updates to replace the obsolete ISA-bus technology, classic PC/104 continues to attract embedded-system designers.
Modern ADCs improve CMOS image sensors By Randy Torrance, Chipworks Inc
IC designers have improved the ADCs inside CMOS sensors, which must capture frames quickly enough for high-definition video. With this constraint in mind, designers must weigh the benefits of ADC architectures and make trade-offs in speed and size.
Lithium-ion battery charger provides USB OTG capability By Jinrong Qian, PhD, Texas Instruments
With users demanding communication among their mobile devices, supporting the power needs of USB OTG (On-The-Go) becomes a requirement. Optimize your battery chargers for a current-limited source, such as USB, and for supporting USB OTG specifications.
