Oz Levia of Improv Systems describes the design and use of the VLIW Jazz configurable processor. Consumer and communication products typically support applicationsthat require extensive and intensive ...

First and foremost, a successful serialization program involves far more than just placing serial numbers on packaging—regardless of the market. However, pharmaceutical companies that distribute in ...

Advances in industrial Ethernet have enabled smart, connected manufacturing in factories. Field instruments must be connected to the Ethernet domain using legacy analog signaling (that is, 4 to 20 mA, ...

Throughout the history of chip design, there has been a spectrum of configurability that has been built into internally developed and commercial semiconductor design IP. In the early days of chip ...

Next-generation NeoPower™ product for multi-output industrial and medical power supplies combines best-in-class power density of 18 W/in 3 with extensive digital communication options ...

This paper describes the development of a configurable SoC platform using configurable IP cores, which is designed for low cost, low power and targeted for Bluetooth® and ULP (Ultra Low Power) ...

Chip architects are faced with many decisions when designing a system on a chip (SoC). The chip often contains some number of control processors, signal processors and peripheral cores. In addition to ...

In a world in which multiple sensors are being designed into almost everything, processing of all the data inputs, or sensor fusion, is becoming an increasingly important part of the system. To ...

A recent design project required a bright LED flash each time a 100-µs pulse occurred. The pulse repeated every 300 ms. Because the pulse was so short, driving the ...

When combined, DCX motors, GPX gearheads, and ENX encoders form a high-precision drive system. DCX motors feature precious metal or graphite brushes, can be equipped with standard preloaded ball ...
