Automotive steering-wheel angle sensor provides data over the CAN-Bus
This microprocessor based steering angle sensor provides real-time steering angle data over the CAN-Bus. Automotive electronics present demanding requirements to the electronic product designer. High volume, low cost and highly rugged, feature packed designs are necessary to win. This automotive steering angle sensor can sense high-resolution angle displacement of 1400 degrees of rotation and beyond.
Tensilica - New DSP Engine Combines Outstanding Performance, Compact Size, and Easy Programmability
Tensilica has introduced the high-performance, small, low-power ConnX D2 16-bit dual-MAC (Multiply Accumulator) DSP (Digital Signal Processor) engine for its proven Xtensa LX dataplane processor cores for SOC (System-on-Chip) designs. The ConnX D2 DSP engine provides uncompromised performance from C code, unlike many other DSPs that require time consuming assembly coding for maximum performance. This means that virtually any C program, including ...
Polar to sponsor a Dr. Eric Bogatin webinar on stackup design using differential pairs
Polar Instruments has announced a free webinar on PCB layer stackup design using differential pairs. Presented by signal integrity guru, Dr. Eric Bogatin, the webinar will be held at 1.00pm EST (6.00pm UTC) on Wednesday 16th September and present a master-class on how the physical design of differential pairs affects interconnect performance in printed circuit boards (PCB).
Renesas Technology selects Synopsys' Proteus OPC for 45nm node production
Synopsys today announced that Renesas Technology has adopted Synopsys' Proteus OPC for 45nm production. With the introduction of 45nm and below technologies, the demand for optical proximity correction (OPC) becomes greater due to design complexity and layer volume, making time to market and cost of ownership critical factors in OPC vendor selection. Proteus OPC is the industry’s most cost-effective solution since its highly scalable engine ru...
