Technical Paper Newsletter 3-25-2009 Tech Paper Library Home  NEW FEATURED TECHNICAL PAPERS 50 V RF LDMOS: An Ideal RF Power Technology for ISM, Broadcast and Radar Applications
Pierre Piel et al • Freescale Semiconductor
This paper describes the 50 V LDMOS technology along with key features and presents details on how extreme ruggedness is designed into the devices and outlines design features of the portfolio.
Power Management in an Embedded Multiprocessor Cluster
Matthias Knoth • MIPS Technologies
Recent advances in design methodology enable power gating and voltage/frequency scaling of SoC components. This paper illustrates power management techniques of embedded multiprocessor systems.
Isolated Supply Overview and Design Trade-Offs
David Baba • National Semiconductor
The design of the power architecture within the communications infrastructure market consists of many trade-offs and design considerations. Basic topology descriptions and equations are provided along with waveforms.
Ways to Use USB in Embedded Systems
Yingbo Hu and Ralph Moore • ARM
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a connectivity specification that provides ease of use, expandability, and good performance for the end user. It is one of the most successful interconnects in computer history.
Interoperability Comes to EDA Tools
Tanner Research
It is common for IC designers to deal with a heterogeneous flow, moving among tools for compelling business reasons. To help replace a heterogeneous flow with interoperability among EDA tools, Tanner introduces its External Verification Interface (EVI) for Tanner Tools that work with Calibre RVE and Calibre Interactive.
Automotive Isolation Amplifier for Voltage Sensing
Kenji Yamamoto and Andy Poh • Avago Technologies
The introduction of electric and hybrid electric vehicles have added high voltage electric modules into the car. The battery stack in a hybrid can be in excess of 150V, higher for the inverter driving the motor.
