The five biggest are the numerous wireless standards that must be accommodated, increased and complex frequency assignments, increased operating efficiency, capital expenditures (CAPEX), and scalability. Why must designers deal with so many standards? Most new basestations benefit from being able to handle...
USB Makes A Move Inside The Box
USB is ubiquitous, but it’s usually used to connect boxes like PCs and laptops to other devices. The type of USB hosts are changing already, with USB sockets on printers and even HDTVs providing access to USB flash drives. Playing a hi-def movie from a flash drive is no longer a goal but a reality. But USB inside the box is a much different story.
FPGA Costs Half A Buck
A couple of things have kept designers away from FPGAs, including size, price, power, and complexity. Actel’s Igloo nano blasts away these issues. The smallest version is available in a 3- by 3-mm package while still delivering 10k system gates. The price starts at less than $0.50.
