1080p video development kit for IoT
ON Semiconductor has introduced an open imaging platform for low-power video streaming applications. The MatrixCam video development kit (VDK) has been developed specifically to encourage greater video adoption within Internet of Things (IoT) products, as well as accelerating OEMs’ time to market. Among its key applications are home automation systems, building access devices, baby monitors, […]
Universal-footprint family of bandpass filters and duplexers
The latest surface-mount RF bandpass filters from CTS Corp are designed for use in LTE-U (unlicensed) and LTE-LAA (licensed assisted access). The CTS UPB550A Bandpass Filter has an 0.7dB typical and <1.0dB worst case insertion loss, while providing >= 50dB rejection across all the major FDD bands. This would enable it to meet the receive […]

High-side switching using P channel – I am using LTC4412 for power path switching. In the example, it shows use of P Channel with drain connected to Positive and Source to load. I understand that this would avoid reverse flow but shouldn’t the voltage input be connected to Source of MOSFET? Read more I am trying the following […]
Techniques to speed up SoC RTL and physical synthesis
David Stratman and Vinay Patwardhan, Cadence In the more complex world of today’s SoCs, you’re integrating a large number of third-party IP blocks with your own highly tuned RTL, while aggressively pushing frequency in the face of lower power requirements and area budgets. You also want to ensure a reliable handoff to place and route […]
Medical-grade accelerometer for implantables
STMicroelectronics has introduced the MIS2DH, an ultra-low-power 3-axis accelerometer specifically designed for medical applications, including implantable devices classified by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as Class III. The accelerometer is an off-the-shelf device that can enable functions such as activity monitoring and posture sensing to be included in a wide range of medical applications. […]
Application relevance of clock jitter
Clock Jitter is commonly used to describe the performance requirements of oscillators and PLLs when driving high performance components like FPGAs, Microprocessors, and PHYs. But the plethora of clock jitter types, measurement methodologies, and corresponding specifications is broad and often leads to confusion. It is important to use the jitter type that is most appropriate […]
RF bandpass filter for intelligent transport systems complies to 3GPP
CTS Electronic Components, Inc. introduces a surface-mount RF bandpass filter for use in Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) including 802.11p for wireless access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) and Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DRSC). The CTS TCB001A bandpass filter supports 2W of average RF output power at the antenna and is a necessary component to ensure compliance […]
Clock jitter attenuator optimizes serial interface functionality in base station designs
Analog Devices introduced a high-performance clock jitter attenuator designed to support the JESD204B serial interface standard for connecting high-speed data converters and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) operating in base station designs. The JESD204B interface was specifically developed to address high-data rate system design needs, and the 3.2-GHz HMC7044 clock jitter attenuator contains functions that support […]
