Embedded Design Techniques for Developing Cost-Effective Communications
Tektronix
This white paper by Tektronix highlights three real applications utilizing specific measurement techniques that enable you to deliver cost-effective communications in your embedded designs. You can also view this webinar for more information on this topic.
Battery Management Design for High Power Lithium Battery Stacks
Greg Zimmer • Linear Technology
Lithium-based battery chemistries are rapidly replacing lead-acid and nickel metal hydride (NiMH) in high power industrial and transportation systems. However, the advantages in energy and power density offered by lithium chemistries are offset by the increased complexity of the battery management electronics.
Oscilloscope Display Quality Impacts Ability to View Subtle Signal Details
Agilent Technologies
Display can make a big difference in your ability to troubleshoot your designs effectively. If your oscilloscope has a low-quality display, you may not be able to see critical signal anomalies. This application note discusses how oscilloscope display quality impacts ability to view subtle signal details.
Mitigation Methods for Parasitic Turn-On Effect Due to Miller Capacitor
Avago
One of the problems commonly encountered when switching an insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is parasitic turn-on due to Miller capacitor. This paper explains parasitic turn-on and discusses mitigation solutions for it.
Designing with Thermocouples
Jason Seitz • National Semiconductor
In 1821 Thomas Seebeck discovered the physical phenomenon that when you join two dissimilar metals on both ends and heat one end, a continuous current is created in the thermoelectric circuit. In this paper, learn about the Seebeck effect, how it is the basis of the thermocouple sensor and how it impacts your design.
ARM Fast Models—Virtual Platforms for Embedded Software Development
Nizar Romdan • ARM
This paper presents the ARM Fast Models for early software development that allows the execution of software almost at real-time speed while maintaining full functional accuracy. Emphasis is given to the key differentiating elements it offers compared to similar offerings from third-party suppliers.
HDI Layer Stackups for Large Dense PCBs
Mentor Graphics
The use of High Density Interconnect (HDI) and microvias can help designers avoid dense BGA packages and reduce PCB layers and size. This paper discusses various HDI technologies and the best approaches for successfully taking advantage of this technology.
36V Dual 1.4A Monolithic Step-Down Converter has Start-Up Tracking and Sequencing
Keith Szolusha • Linear Technology
The latest DSPs and microcontrollers found in automotive electronics, industrial supplies, and even wall-transformers typically require power supplies with output voltages of both 1.8V and 3.3V and output current capability of 1A or greater.
