Fanless computer boards are pushing 15W to the limit
The limit for fanless designs is often the magic 15W TDP threshold. So what do 6th generation Intel Core processors have to offer and how can the challenges of thermal design be mastered? Asks Christian Eder. High-end embedded systems designed for industrial applications can integrate only a specific selection of new processor technology. In fact, ...

Programmable analogue ICs are route to cost-efficiency
Design reuse can apply to analogue circuits as much as to digital, writes Steve Logan, who describes what programmable analogue devices can offer a designer. What would you, an IC system designer, put into an ideal programmable analog device? Start with 20 ports of programmable ADCs, DACs, digital IOs, switches, level translators, and internal and ...

No way back for the ‘smart’ microcontroller, says Microchip
Microcontrollers are becoming system-on-chip (SoC) devices and there is no way back for the ubiquitous controller device, says supplier Microchip. Even low cost 8-bit microcontrollers now integrate a large number of peripheral circuits ranging from timers to encryption circuits, which operate independently of the processor core. This not only increases the performance of the device, ...
