More than 500,000 pieces of manmade space debris—including spent rocket stages, defunct satellites, and fragments as small as flecks of paint—currently hurtle around the Earth at roughly 17,000 miles per... Read More

The advantages over traditional circuits include less board space and lower cost. The highway addressable remote transducer (HART) protocol allows for bi-directional 1.2/2.2-kHz frequency shift keying (FSK) modulated digital communication... Read More

The industrial connector space has in the past sometimes been defined more by what it isn’t – communications, computing, consumer, aero/space/defence, transportation etc – rather than what it is. However,... Read More

Mini-Circuits’ ZACS242-100W+ is a coaxial high-power, 2-way 0° splitter/combiner capable of handling up to 100W RF input power as a splitter.  Its power handling capability makes this model a useful... Read More

By slowing down light to a speed slower than flowing electrons, researchers create a kind of optical “sonic boom.” When an airplane begins to move faster than the speed of... Read More

Introduction The importance of reliability can be best demonstrated using an anecdote I was told by a friend back in 2008; when working for a major IC firm from San... Read More

If you are a technology innovator, you’ll want your efforts and inventions to be protected from copying. Patents are a first line of defense, but enforcing them though litigation may... Read More

Quickly identify PDN sensitivities, in-circuit, including clock jitter source locations, using a simple probe-based solution. Power distribution network (PDN) noise is one of the most common issues in low power... Read More

Engineers never lose sight of the need to de-liver projects that hit the quality, schedule and budget targets. You can apply the les-sons learned by the community of embed-ded system... Read More
