Technical Paper Newsletter 3-4-2009 Tech Paper Library Home  NEW FEATURED TECHNICAL PAPERS Real-Time Embedded Multithreading: Using ThreadX and MIPS
Edward L. Lamie
The book covers the services provided by an RTOS, the major characteristics of the MIPS architecture, and includes a real world example, with source code, of an application based on ThreadX and MIPS.
Eliminating Embedded Non-Volatile Memory IP Risks in SOCs
Linh Hong • Kilopass Technology
With many embedded logic NVM options available, chip developers, foundry IP managers, and reliability managers need to narrow down the list of vendors by evaluating the risk of integrating an NVM IP. In this paper you will learn what to look for to ensure the NVM IP will not cause headaches when your product goes into volume production.
Overview of Structural Health Monitoring Solutions
National Instruments
The testing and monitoring of structures in operation in the field presents unique challenges for traditional data acquisition and data-logging devices.
Embedded Design Techniques for Optimizing Control Parameters
Tektronix
This is one of a three-part series by Tektronix and David Saar that offers embedded design techniques to solve your size, cost and time-to-market design challenges. As a bonus, a companion webinar on Optimizing Control Parameters is also available.
Using 10-Gbps Transceivers in 40G/100G Applications
Altera
This white paper identifies the key drivers behind the migration to 100G interfaces, and leverages the unique ability of FPGAs to implement this high-speed interface.
Applying Multi-core and Virtualization to Industrial and Safety-Related Applications
Wind River and Intel

Structural/Seismic Monitoring and Testing: National Instruments Products for Laboratory and Research
National Instruments
This document provides an overview to NI hardware and software options for structural health and seismic monitoring applications in the lab, as well as an overview of the content contained within the e-kit.
Moving Legacy Applications to Linux: RTOS Migration Revisited
William Weinberg • MontVista Software
This white paper addresses how to map legacy architectures onto Linux, options for migrated application execution, API and IPC translation, enhanced reliability realized from migration, the migration process itself, and application-specific migration challenges and solutions.
COT Drivers Control LED Ripple Current
Chris Richardson • National Semiconductor
This paper discusses the benefits of constant ripple and designing for constant ripple in a COT converter. It explains how, armed with the ability to control both LED ripple current and switching frequency, the LED lighting designer can make their own trade-offs between solution size, cost, and quality.
Software Defined Radio Handbook, 7th Edition
Rodger H. Hosking • Pentek
The folks at Pentek, who wrote the book on software radio, are pleased to announce their recently released and expanded Software Radio Handbook. Now in its 7th edition, the handbook proves to be a useful technical reference for engineers.
Embedded Ethernet System Design Guide
Silicon Laboratories
This design guide discusses the benefits of embedded Ethernet and presents three easy steps for adding Ethernet connectivity to your embedded system: system definition, hardware design, and software development. It also provides time-saving tips and suggestions to simplify implementation.
A Methodology for Performance Analysis of Network-on-Chip Architectures for Video SoCs
Krishnan Srinivasan • Sonics
In this paper, Sonics presents an effective methodology for performance analysis of the interconnection network, with special emphasis on video and multimedia benchmarking.
Voltage Reference Vastly Reduces Energy Consumption over Typical Solution
Maxim Integrated Products
Using a shunt reference and op amp, a low-power, low-voltage series reference can be designed. Learn how this circuit consumes very low power (2.4µA) and offers excellent line regulation (90dB) and load regulation (0.1V/A).
Silently Powering Low-Noise Applications
Frederik Dostal • National Semiconductor
This article will explain how to implement a low-noise switch-mode power supply solution. It will introduce the sources of noise and explain how to minimize them. A significant factor in noise generation and propagation is the printed circuit board layout.
