Hobbyists and amateurs rejoice: Embedded Micro is releasing an already assembled FPGA development board for the common folk. No longer will you toil away like some 17th century peasant, holding your ...

Even in today’s digital, IT-intensive radio plant, there is still a need to design and build one-of-a-kind electronic circuits. Simple devices such as digital tone generators and small distribution ...

Fault-tolerant digital circuit design is a critical field that seeks to ensure the uninterrupted operation of electronic systems even when individual components fail ...

In the days of relatively slow 66-MHz buses, designers could ignore signal-integrity effects without problem, certainly for small boards. Similarly, they didn't have to know about S-parameters ...

Overview of digital logic design. Implementation technologies, timing in combinational and sequential circuits, EDA tools, basic arithmetic units, introduction to simulation and synthesis using ...

Last year, Silicon Valley startup Movellus started selling tools that automate the painstaking process of creating certain analog SoC components. This year, the company is trying to attract more ...

The 555 timer is one of the most versatile integrated circuits available. It can generate PWM signals, tones, and single-shot pulses. You can even put one in a bi-stable mode similar to a flip flop.

Digital circuit design is largely automated today, but most analog components still are designed manually. This may change soon. As analog design grows increasingly complex and error-prone, design ...

Digital transition switching is the primary cause of noise in mixed-signal devices. Signal noise and immunity to power, ground, and substrate noise all benefit from using differential circuits. Design ...
