Six Reasons You Should Use an FPGA
In this article, we’ll be focusing on why FPGAs hit the sweet spot for processing power. Before we dive too deeply into this conversation, let’s address the “elephant in the room” – everything exists for a reason, even ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), CPUs (Central Processing Unit), and GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit). ASICs provide incredible performance per watt, and are thus very efficient, but they are also much […]

Low Pressure Filtering of a Pressure Sensor’s Input
The Problem In some applications, high-frequency pressure transients may be present that distort the sensor’s output and degrade its ability to read the underlying changes in pressure. This can especially be a problem in low-pressure applications, such as medical measurements where discerning subtle differences is essential to successful diagnosis and monitoring. A common, well-known solution […]
White paper: 5G evolution – on the path to 6G
5G deployments have only recently started, and releases beyond R15 will continue to tap into the tremendous potential of 5G.
