Why Jobs Go on Hold

There are a variety of reasons PCB manufacturers, assembly houses and engineering departments put jobs on hold. Once a job is started, the parts are kitted up, boards are procured and assembly time is scheduled. When this process comes to a grinding halt because something is wrong, it costs the manufacturer or assembler time, which is typically passed on to the customer in the form of additional charges.

A Tale of Two Layerscapes

There are really two Layerscapes – one is a software-based program and the other is an applications processor. One Layerscape requires high-speed networking and communications technology to perform, and the other was designed to provide high-speed networking and communications for similar data-intensive applications.

Software Security: Essential for Today's Connected Cars

The car of a consumer's dreams comes with more than 20-inch chrome wheels, a convertible top and seats covered in what Ricardo Montalban once described as "Corinthian Leather". This dream car also will have hundreds of onboard sensors, more than fifty separate electronic control units (ECUs), about 100 million lines of code and, now, internet connectivity.

Accelerating Code Development to Meet the Challenge of IoT Embedded Design

Now that more and more engineers are developing the embedded code that control Internet of Things (IoT) products, teams are under increased pressure to create better software in less time--driven by the more frequent release cycles, higher costs and shorter delivery dates associated with the fiercely competitive global IoT market.

Solder by Hand vs Machine

Nearly every successful company passes through the difficult transformation of being small to being large. As this transition occurs, there are many product development decisions to be made. Today, it is possible to affordable machine-assemble boards regardless of the product lifecycle phase. In fact, companies exist that specialize in machine assembling low-volume and prototype orders.

Designing with the Things in the Internet of Things

Reports predict that the resurgence of microcontroller sales in the coming years will be with MCUs that will potentially connect within the Internet of Things (IoT) and that the field is split between 8-bit and 32-bit devices. Wearables or smart homes might only require 8-bit MCUs, but once a gateway enters the picture, the application is sure to fall into the 32-bit MCU space. Read More

Tap Tap Tech: The Internet of Things

The IoT has become a hot topic because it embodies the future that everyone always dreamed of. Yet, there are quite a few challenges to overcome. From a technical point of view, security Is paramount, as many IoT products track very personal information. Also, you have all these devices trying to talk to each other but as of now, there are no real standards and communications are infrequently incompatible. Read More

The GaN Power Revolution is Here

Over the past five years, GaN power FETs have shown to have an undisputed technical advantage over silicon. Starting with a fundamental materials limit advantage that is three orders of magnitude better than silicon, it was possible to construct initial devices that already had better electrical characteristics than the state-of-the-art silicon; GaN also showed much lower parasitic device capacitance values for the same device on-resistance.
