Interconnects: Making sense of sensor nets
http://interconnects.blogspot.com/2008/06/making-sense-of-sensor-nets.html
What's hot and what's not in chip, board and systems technologies. Thursday, June 19, 2008. Making sense of sensor nets. A brief trip to IEEE Secon. Raised more questions than answers for me about the status and outlook for wireless sensor networks. A workshop on WiFi meshes. The technology has both huge potential and tremendous challenges in what is its potentially biggest market—getting the developing world on the Net. A fire hose of a keynote. Posted by Rick Merritt.

Interconnects: Will USB 3.0 overwhelm HDMI?
http://interconnects.blogspot.com/2008/02/will-usb-30-overwhelm-hdmi.html
What's hot and what's not in chip, board and systems technologies. Friday, February 01, 2008. Will USB 3.0 overwhelm HDMI? That’s what at least one attendee was wondering after the first industry review of the draft USB 3.0. Spec A group of as many as 300 came to the two-day, closed-door event in San Jose last week to hear the latest about the emerging Super Speed USB which aims to hit data rates up to 5 Gbits/second. Interesting thought, given the fact last year Intel bailed on the UDI effort. Any chall...

Interconnects: The salmon of the CEA
http://interconnects.blogspot.com/2008/07/salmon-of-cea.html
What's hot and what's not in chip, board and systems technologies. Tuesday, July 08, 2008. The salmon of the CEA. The folks over at the Consumer Electronics Association are full of Omega-3s these days. They want to define a universal interconnect for media players by running copy protected High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) signals over the CEA's existing Portable Digital Media Interface ( PDMI. Are pretty active in rolling out variantions and upgrades. So my dear friends over at the CEA, I look...

Interconnects: TransferJet takes wing
http://interconnects.blogspot.com/2008/07/transferjet-takes-wing.html
What's hot and what's not in chip, board and systems technologies. Thursday, July 17, 2008. Talk about being blindsided. I thought Sony's announcement at CES. About its ultrawideband-based TransferJet technology was an anomaly, something that would die a quiet death. Surprise, a slew of consumer companies are saying this morning they will participate in an effort to standardize the technology. Well at a claimed 560 mMbits/s (PHY rate? As PR guru Susan Cain who forwarded the TransferJet release. Also what...

CAD and VLSI: Leakage is a pain..
http://cad-for-vlsi.blogspot.com/2011/10/leakage-is-pain.html
Is this what CAD and VLSI have become? Monday, October 24, 2011. Leakage is a pain. I am not sure of any existing tools which give an accurate estimate of active state leakage. We can evaluate leakage in the typical and worst case Leakage corners (which gives us the lower and upper bounds). The problem gets exaggerated from the lower bound if the chip gets hotter than 25C. This in turn would increase the amount by which the chip will now leak. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Anupam Gupta @ CMU.

CAD and VLSI: Dennis Ritchie
http://cad-for-vlsi.blogspot.com/2011/10/dennis-ritchie.html
Is this what CAD and VLSI have become? Saturday, October 15, 2011. Computing as we know it today would be non existent without C and Unix, and yet so many people would be unaware of this genius who was found dead at his home at the age of 70.

Interconnects: ABI makes UWB picks
http://interconnects.blogspot.com/2008/07/abi-makes-uwb-picks.html
What's hot and what's not in chip, board and systems technologies. Wednesday, July 16, 2008. ABI makes UWB picks. Market watcher ABI Research reported today. That WiQuest, Alereon and Pulse Link came out tops among ultrawideband suppliers when measured on a range of factors. All three offer physical layer, RF transceiver and media access controller silicon and the three are tops in numbers of announced design wins. But its still quite a viable market," he added.

Interconnects: Is WiMax wobbly?
http://interconnects.blogspot.com/2008/06/is-wimax-wobbly.html
What's hot and what's not in chip, board and systems technologies. Monday, June 23, 2008. A new Frost and Sullivan report. Suggesting WiMax is in trouble is getting some attention today, latching on to a broader debate my colleague Jack Shandle explored with his recent story. On the outlook for harmonizing WiMax and LTE. There’s been a fair bit of tit-for-tat between WiMax and LTE lately. A group of LTE assembled to drive interoperability testing. Today Recently both LTE and WiMax backers. Bogatin: 10 ha...
