Digi International has introduced the ConnectCore Wi-MX51, said to be the first core module designed specifically for low-power, wireless multimedia applications.
CompactPCI Plus standard can enhance data transfer
04 December, 2009 | Supplied by: Dominion Electronics
One unfortunate side-effect of technological advancements is that they often force end users to accept an 'all-or-nothing' choice between a major investment in enhanced speed and capability, or live with less-than-optimum performance to protect the investment in an installed technology base.
Reliable power electronics for windmill generators
04 December, 2009 | Supplied by: Semikron Danfoss
In the megawatt range, high-power electronics applications need powerful semiconductors. However, even the largest semiconductors available today are still not strong enough for some applications. It is therefore necessary to connect them in parallel. The parallel connection of semiconductor devices in a traditional power electronics circuit is very common.
The workings of RF transformers - Part 2
03 December, 2009 | Supplied by: Clarke & Severn Electronic Solutions
RF transformers are widely used in electronic circuits for impedance matching to achieve maximum power transfer and to suppress undesired signal reflection. Part 2 of this article continues the story that began in the July issue.
The workings of RF transformers - Part 1
03 December, 2009 | Supplied by: Clarke & Severn Electronic Solutions
RF transformers are widely used in electronic circuits for impedance matching to achieve maximum power transfer and to suppress undesired signal reflection, voltage or current step-up or step-down, DC isolation between circuits while providing efficient AC transmission and interfacing between balanced and unbalanced circuits such as amplifiers.
How 3D integration will reshape the memory industry
02 December, 2009 by Yole Développement
The memory semiconductor industry is about to go through a period of major technological changes as new integration trends and disruptive packaging technologies pave the way to the future growth of this industry …
Multicore and virtualisation. Are you keeping up?
02 December, 2009 | Supplied by: National Instruments Aust Pty Ltd
The embedded design world has changed markedly over the last decade and the progress shows no sign of slowing. Multicore processing (in the form of both symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) and asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP)) is becoming commonplace, with embedded multicore CPU revenue expected to grow six times to 2011 (Venture Development Corporation).

Production problems with microcontrollers
02 December, 2009 | Supplied by: Keysight Technologies Australia Pty Ltd
Microcontrollers are commonly considered by designers to be one of the easiest products to use due to their simple programming language, wide peripheral set and price/performance value. They are heavily used in products from washing machines to motor vehicles.
Si substrate loss measured after ion implantation
01 December, 2009 by IMEC
IMEC has shown that spectroscopic ellipsometry can be used to measure Si substrate loss after ion implantation. With decreasing device dimensions, the need for this kind of metrology has become more and more important.
Putting a voice to an embedded project
01 December, 2009 | Supplied by: Microchip Technology Australia
Adding voice to an embedded project can enhance the user experience of a product. Commands can be confirmed, statuses can be announced and temperatures can be read aloud.
Personalised medicine and the DNA transistor
24 November, 2009
In an effort to build a nanoscale DNA sequencer, IBM scientists are drilling nano-sized holes in computer-like chips and passing DNA strands through them to read the information contained within their genetic code.
