USB-Based Thermocouple Temperature Monitor with Cold Junction Compensation ADI This circuit uses the ADuC7060/ADuC7061 precision analog microcontroller in an accurate thermocouple temperature monitoring application. The ADuC7060/ADuC7061 integrates dual 24-bit Σ-Δ ADCs, dual programmable current sources, a 14-bit DAC, and a 1.2 V internal reference, as well as an ARM7 ... Read more 3D-IC Testing with the Mentor Graphics Tessent Platform Steve Pateras, Mentor Graphics Three-dimensional stacked integrated circuits (3D-ICs) are composed of multiple stacked die, and are viewed as critical in helping the semiconductor industry keep pace with Moore's Law. Current integration and interconnect methods include wirebond and flip-chip and have been in production for some time. ... Read more Using Tessent Low Power Test to Manage Switching Activity Giri Podichetty, Mentor Graphics Today's advanced integrated circuit (IC) designs are increasing in complexity, with their seemingly endless progression to smaller geometries, ever increasing integration between analog and digital blocks, and diminishing supply voltages. Both this complexity and the need for energy efficiency in portable ... Read more Addressing 32/28-nm IC Implementation Challenges with Talus Vortex and Talus Vortex FX Magma Design Automation This paper describes the technical and business challenges of implementing designs at the 32/28-nm node. Topics include low-power design, crosstalk effects, process variability, and the dramatic increase in the number of operating modes and corners. Also discussed are the related issues regarding engineering ... Read more Analog Signal Chain Guide Texas Instruments The Analog Signal Chain Guide offers selection tables and featured product overviews of signal chain devices, which target a wide variety of applications from industrial, medical, communications, audio, consumer and computing. Whether you need faster speed, higher precision, lower power or smaller package ... Read more 1ppm Settling Time Measurement for a Monolithic 18-Bit DAC Jim Williams, Linear Technology Performance requirements for instrumentation, function generation, inertial navigation systems, trimming, calibrators, ATE, medical apparatus and other precision applications are beginning to eclipse capabilities of 16-bit data converters. More specifi cally, 16-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) ... Read more Piezo Speaker Technology, an answer to your request Sonitron Piezo Audio Speakers & Amplifiers are the perfect answer for audio sound, voice messages and complex audio information into portable devices. When there is no place ….”a piezo speaker feels comfortable”. “Perfect fit” and “slim line” are the words you can add to your design. No more worries anymore about ... Read more EtherSynch™ - Synchronization Perfected Mike Jones, Micrel Next-generation Industrial Automation Systems are increasingly being architected around distributed, high-performance networks that blend low-messaging latencies, flexible topologies, and integrated timing. Several so-called Industrial Ethernet frameworks are emerging based on standard Ethernet communications ... Read more Universal Serial Bus (USB) Cable Isolator Circuit Analog Devices The universal serial bus (USB) is rapidly becoming the standard interface for most PC peripherals due to superior speed flexibility and support of device hot swap. However, there is concern over how to provide the isolation required for connections to machines that control dangerous voltages. The ADuM416 ... Read more Optimizing Test to Enable Diagnosis-Driven Yield Analysis Dave MacEmon, Mentor Graphics Using diagnosis-driven yield analysis, companies have decreased their time to yield, managed manufacturing excursions and recovered yield caused by systematic defects. Dramatic time savings and yield gains have been proven using these methods. Companies must plan ahead to advantage of diagnosis-driven ... Read more

READER OFFER

This month Keithley Instruments is giving away two of its Model 2200 power supplies, worth 735 Euros each, for EETimes Europe's readers to win. The Model 2200-20-5: 20V, 5A, 100W on offer is one of five general-purpose programmable DC power supplies recently launched by the company, designed for source measurement instruments for component, module, and device characterization and test applications.

Part of the Series 2200 family, the unit’s voltage output accuracy is specified at 0.03% and its current output accuracy is 0.05%. The supply’s high output (1mV) and measurement (0.1mA) resolution makes it well-suited for characterizing low power circuits and devices in applications such as measuring idle mode and sleep mode currents to confirm devices can meet today’s ever-more-challenging goals for energy efficiency.

And the winners are:

In our previous reader offer, EPC was giving away ten of its EPC9002 development board kits, worth USD 95 each.
Lucky winners include  I. Blythe and C. Hardman from the UK, M. Casartelli and D. Cogliati from Italy, C. Cossio from Spain, W. Milarch from Germany, r. Milewicz from Poland, M. Prascak from Slovakia, A. Raidl from Austria and M. Taslakov from Bulgaria.
All should be receiving their kits soon. Let's wish them some interesting findings with their projects.
