- Ethernet Switch Enables 1/2.5-Gbit Server Blade Connectivity
There are paper cups, paper napkins, and even paper airplanes. So why not paper batteries? Although not powerful enough to drive everyday products like cell phones and digital cameras, an emerging generation of thin, flexible, paper-based batteries could soon find a home powering tiny label displays, smart cards, RFID tags, and other mobile devices requiring only modest amounts of power...
The HSpice circuit simulator has been the golden simulation sign-off standard for the past 25 years. The newest version performs faster by focusing on the accuracy and capabilities required to meet today's design challenges. This webcast is a must-see for engineers using Spice for analog, digital, or high-frequency IC, board, or package designs. View today!
Maybe you’re designing a next-generation blade server. Perhaps you need a switching engine for an advanced TCA platform. Or maybe you’re searching for a switch to enhance the performance of present Gigabit Ethernet (1GE) blade servers or TCA chassis. Broadcom’s BCM56580 multilayer switch fits all of these situations. Designers can use this switch when their product needs more bandwidth...
18-GHz, 60-Msample/s Scope Tests Fastest Serial Data Streams
The fastest serial data standards under active development these days are very fast—10-Gbit/s Ethernet and Fibre Channel 8.5. Serial data measurements and jitter analysis on these signals with a real-time scope would require an extremely fast instrument, like LeCroy’s SDA 18000. This serial data analyzer oscilloscope delivers an 18-GHz bandwidth and 60-Gsample/s signal acquisition, with a memory capacity up to 150 Mpoints...
Headphone Amps Shed External Blocking Capacitors
A family of three ground-referenced stereo headphone amplifiers from National Semiconductor eliminates external blocking capacitors for portable music players, mobile phones, CD players, PDAs, media players, notebook computers, and other portable applications. The amplifiers’ circuit technology uses a low-noise, inverting charge pump to generate a negative supply voltage...
By Ben Klemens
Be afraid. Be very afraid. You will be after reading this book. It addresses patent and copyright issues from a software programming standpoint. The opening chapters do an excellent job of laying out the framework for the discussion. This is a complex topic because it does deal with the law, but Ben makes it understandable even for those who don't make patent work their life's pursuit...
