Electronic Design UPDATE edited by Richard Gawel, Managing Editor
Do time-based licenses of EDA flows really own their layout data? Not unless they convert it into a format like GDSII. Without licenses, proprietary databases are just clumps of locked binary data. Today's designers must maintain licenses to access legacy design data. Designers need open standards and database access to ensure access to their design data. But how does this apply in the analog and custom design domains?

Controller-area networks (CANs) are finding their way into more embedded control systems and can be found in most 8- and 16- and many 32-bit microcontrollers, but few designers know how they work. If you need a crash course in CAN, then this is the book for you.
