Researchers offer alternative to common crossbar design In a technical paper presented at the Hot Chips conference, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (China) researchers offered an alternative pipeline approach to crossbar design The company is building small prototype chips based on the concept Self-configuring array enables atomic-scale fabrication A next-generation configurable circuit architecture is being proposed by a group of designers at startup Cell Matrix Corp. has licensed Barcelona Design Inc.'s analog synthesis solution for the creation of PLL circuits. Sandbridge adopts Barcelona analog solutions Sandbridge Technologies Inc. UHF receiver/transmitter line targets industrial apps Atmel announced its ATA8x0x UHF ASK/FSK receiver/transmitter family targeted at remote controls for consumer and industrial systems, access control, alarm and telemetry systems, energy metering and home automation as well as active RFID tagging systems. Rival graphics memory specs spread confusion The acrimony of memory industry politicking was on display at the recently held REDEX Beijing Conference, as dissatisfaction brewed over the characterization and control of emerging graphics DRAM standards. Taking advantage of TSMC's 28HPC process Here are five areas where designers can take advantage of this new process with logic library technology to optimise the performance, power and area of their system on chips
Terahertz clock rides rotary wave MultiGig disclosed a novel approach to semiconductor clocking that could slash power budgets and open the door to chips that clock at terahertz rates. Utilising ARM Cortex-M based SoCs (Part 1) Learn how internal SoC peripherals, such as an op-amp, ADC, PWM, and most importantly a processor core, are used to develop a system with the least number of components on the PCB. Why stitch and ship is no longer workable As the systems change, the stitch and ship methodology is leading to increased numbers of costly failures. Parallel clocking extends chip operating speed NEC researchers have developed a parallel clocking approach for circuits that operate at 10GHz, which is capable of setting clock frequency separately from the operating frequency of a chipĪs arrival of combo WLAN chips near, 802.11b spike is expected Some chip and systems makers are reporting an uptick in the growth rate of 802.11b WLAN capability in notebook computers, just as a transition to next-generation WLAN products nears.Īgilent VCO chips suit 40Gbps fiber-optic systems The company has introduced a family of surface-mount voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) targeted at next-generation high-speed 40Gbps fiber-optic communications systems.įailsafe' clocking mechanism offers clock switchover Micrel's new clock multiplexer ICs feature runt-pulse elimination and Fail Safe Input circuitry. comes a family of three ultralow-noise and fully featured clock buffers, dividers and distributors that simplify system clock design while claiming the industry's lowest additive noise.ĭirect digital synthesizers in clocking applications time jitter in direct digital synthesizer-based clocking systems This application note by David Brandon for Analog Devices describes the Time Jitter performance that can be attained by using DDS-based clock systems.
