Analyst: Foundries gird for war at 28-nm
July 13, 2010
It's a great time to be a
fabless company with leading-edge designs, according to Dean Freeman, a
research vice president at Gartner Inc. That's because, as Freeman sees
it, the top foundry players are moving to ratchet up capacity at 40- and
28-nm, setting the stage for a market share battle and ...

10 MSps conversion using a 16-bit SAR ADC and differential driver
July 08, 2010
Achieving 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion at a 10 MSps sampling rate
with world-class precision and high signal-to-noise ratios is quite a
challenge, especially at low power. fortunately, new energy efficient
data conversion solutions are now available which allow system designers
to achieve ...
