A “canned” module/IC solution simplifies wireless implementation, but potential design-in issues remain
Incorporating wireless connectivity into a product is now a standard design requirement for Wi-Fi, IoT, and other applications. And the good news is that it’s much easier than it was just a few years ago. While a custom design may be the best or only choice for very low-end applications (a simple point-to-point link signaling […]

Basics of FPGAs – the solution to countless design challenges
The field-programmable gate array (FPGA) has come a long way from its roots as a flexible logic-circuit replacement based on programmable-memory technology in the 1980s. They are now used as the primary or sole processor for small and large systems in applications spanning basic appliances to high-end aerospace. It’s estimated by various market researches that […]
