TTEthernet Scalable Real-Time Ethernet Platform TTTech Computertechnik TTEthernet – A Powerful Network Solution for All Purposes enables time-triggered communication over Ethernet networks in all application areas. The network provides all necessary mechanisms for applications as diverse as classical web services and time-critical and safety-critical control system in airplanes. ... 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 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 The end of sensored BLDC control? Melexis Vehicle Manufacturers are increasingly appreciating the benefits of Brushless DC (BLDC) motor control as a response to the challenges of making their fleet meet legal fuel economy regulations.  Brushless DC motor control typically increases efficiency 20% to 30% compared to equivalent speed controlled ... Read more Automated FPGA to ASIC Conversion with Zero NRE Gal Gilat, KaiSemi Ltd. FPGA design suits a fast time-to-market product, while its chip cost is high. ASIC design or traditional FPGA to ASIC design involve high resources cost, while the chip cost is low. This paper presents a smooth automated conversion from FPGA to ASIC which is seamless to customer resources, while being ... 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.
