Knock-offs of electronic components, such as connectors, can cause big problems for purchasers, particularly if the purchasers are inaccurately informed as to what they are buying.
We at LEMO provide this white paper to help our customers make more informed decisions and better shield themselves from civil and...
This white paper describes switch-mode power supplies and traditional circuit breakers, and explains the technology behind a new solid-state technology. It later explains how it solved a long-standing problem affecting the uptime of switchmode power controlled manufacturing equipment.

QMatrix devices are digital charge-transfer (QT) ICs designed to detect touch using a scanned, passive matrix of electrode sets to achieve a large number of touch keys driven by a single chip.
This configuration leads to a high pin count efficiency in the sensing chip and allows for a small number of connections between...
Since Point of Loads (POLs) are small, efficient and relatively inexpensive, their utility in providing common powering voltages to groups of IC loads has resulted in their rapid adoption and proliferation.
With the everincreasing complexity of today’s boards, the number of individual voltages required...
Every type of electronic equipment – from PCs, servers and network equipment, to home theaters, computer peripherals and mobile devices – is vulnerable to damage caused by power surges and line noise interference. With a relatively modest investment, surge protectors offer a highly effective way to protect...
Design and verification engineers will be learning the importance of ensuring a stable operation and of reducing the risk of failure after any change over the product’s lifetime. Both require a solid characterization of the memory interface.
We will be discussing test and tool requirements such as bandwidth,...
A customer of Hitex was in the acquisition phase of a new project: the development of a Battery Management System (BMS). The main focus was a high voltage battery management system for a road vehicle.
The customer needed a suitable controller, and required help in terms of functional safety and security and overall...

For a majority of applications implemented today, the Intermediate Bus Architecture (IBA) has become the preferred power architecture. This power architecture has led to the development of the isolated, semi-regulated DC/DC converter known as the Intermediate Bus Converter (IBC).
IBCs are an improvement to the standard...
Any engineer involved with portable or handheld products knows that minimizing power consumption is an absolute requirement for today’s designs. But only the veterans understand the subtle yet important details that can stretch a systems’ battery life to the maximum.
In this white paper Lattice Semiconductor...
In recent years tin-copper based solders with a variety of elemental additives have emerged which improve the overall properties and performance of tin-copper solders.
This paper is a summary of the experience at a medium sized assembler in achieving the customer driven mandate to go lead-free and the maintenance...
Lattice Semiconductor has introduced two low cost FPGA families with SERDES, the LatticeECP2M, introduced in 2007, and the most recent family, the LatticeECP3. The ECP2M and ECP3 FPGAs provide designers with the best of both worlds: a high performance, low-cost FPGA fabric with built-in high performance SERDES.
These...
Trends and transformations in online multimedia distribution, mobile wireless and cloud computing require new approaches to Internet bandwidth optimization.
