Improve Backplane System Performance at 6 Gbps and Above
FREE White Paper. With an upgrade path to higher bandwidth capability in your sights, minimization of crosstalk in the backplane link is critical. Amphenol TCS connectors can deliver crosstalk up to 30 times lower at 5 GHz than previous generations, resulting in enough margin to meet future performance specifications up to 20 Gbps. Our high-speed, high-density connectors, XCede®, Crossbow™ and eHSD® meet and exceed the very latest IEEE 802.3ap standard for 10 Gbps serial data rates. Learn how. scope |Go Green In Style With Plug-In Luxury Sedan By Richard Gawel, Managing Editor
The engineers at Tesla Motors may need to look in their rearview mirrors. Fisker Automotive has announced plans to produce a hybrid sedan with performance that would rival Tesla's famous Roadster. The four-door plug-in Karma promises 0- to 60-mph acceleration in less than 6 seconds, a top speed of 125 mph, and emission-free driving for up to 50 miles. Read the full article...

IMEC, the Leuven, Belgium-based independent research center, has
created a single-junction gallium-arsenide (GaAs) solar cell on a
germanium (Ge) substrate with a 24.7% conversion efficiency, which the
organization said is a record figure. The efficiency was measured and
confirmed by the U.S.-based National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

And how can you be sure that the encoders, prox sensors, and other feedback devices you plan to use will accurately see and report every relevant motion, machine state, and process condition? And will the signals get through the networks fast enough, without being corrupted, giving the controllers time to execute their algorithms as intended? It's a lot to think about, and it only scratches the surface of what many engineers grapple with today. If you happen to be one of them, then the place for you — where you can find answers and meet others with similar concerns — is www.Mechatronic-Design.com.
Backed by some of engineering's top information sources, including Machine Design, Electronic Design, Motion System Design, and Power Electronics, Mechatronic-Design.com is the interdisciplinary engineer's desktop, toolbox, library, and lifeline in one easily accessible place.

There's no better way to learn than by doing, and that's the approach taken in FPGA Prototyping By VHDL Examples. If you're relatively new to FPGA prototyping, this book is a decent place to start. The caveat is that it does expect the reader to be relatively fluent in the syntax of HDLs. Read the full article...
