Panelists discuss emerging dc/dc - conversion challenges
Engineers face a growing dc/dc-conversion challenge in both notebook and server designs, and vendors could do more to help the situation by delivering more complete characterization of dc/dc-converter modules, according to participants in a panel Tuesday at DesignCon. Details... more »

 

Silicon foundations simplify assembly lines
Two consecutive press briefings at January’s Consumer Electronics Show dealt with different products for different markets but delivered a similar message: that by migrating from a traditional approach comprising numerous discrete components to an integrated one based on silicon building blocks, you can not only potentially improve your end-system specifications, but also dramatically simplify, boost the yield, and reduce the cost of your system-manufacturing flow.
