This annual technology report of the IEEE Reliability Society is based on material submitted by the technical activity segments of the Society, statements from experts in the field, industry reviews,…
Radar, satellite communications and 5G NR use AAS with phased array antennas for beamforming. Hybrid beamforming combines the flexibility of digital beamforming with the efficiency of analog beamforming.
Increasing integration enables…
While price and density play large roles in selecting dynamic random access memory (DRAM), many other considerations must be taken into account. For example, long-term product support is a key…
MIPI D-PHY is a practical PHY for typical camera and display applications. It is designed to replace traditional parallel bus based on LVCMOS or LVDS. However, many processors and displays/cameras…
The audio market for wireless Bluetooth headsets is growing rapidly. People have gotten used to wireless audio systems, and the mobile phone industry is pushing towards a world without audio…
Safety, availability, and cost considerations can make performing thorough tests of embedded control devices
using the complete system impractical.
Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation is a real-time test technique used to test these devices…
Shift registers can help reduce size and BOM in designs that use LEDs. By providing I/O expansion, they enable the use of smaller, less expensive microcontrollers.
In some cases, the shift…
For over three decades, power management efficiency and cost showed steady improvement as innovations in power MOSFET structures, technology, and circuit topologies paced the growing need for electrical power in…
Adapteva Epiphany Coprocessor involves new scalable many-core architecture, energy efficient platform (50 GFLOPS/Watt) and $99 for a Parallella board. Contributions inckude explored features of the Epiphany, evaluation of the performance…
Every year, we waste enormous amounts of food – estimated at 1.6 billion tons annually according to Boston Consulting Group. There are many causes for these losses, but one significant…
This paper reviews the state of the art of electric drives technology in three specific areas (a) technical requirements of high−performance ac machines control, (b) most popular electrical machines and…
White residue remaining after cleaning circuit board assemblies can be caused by a variety of chemicals and reactions. Rosin and water-soluble fluxes, circuit board resins and epoxies, component materials and…
