Comparing Trench and Planar Schottky Rectifiers

This white paper offers a closer look at the structure and the benefits of Trench Schottky rectifiers. This resource covers topics such as, why Trench rectifiers are typically the correct choice when a better trade-off between forwarding voltage drop and the leakage current is required, why they should also be selected in high power density applications where the ambient temperature is elevated, and what makes them ideal for applications with switching speeds above 100 kHz.

Rethinking Applications Processing for Ultra-Low Power - i.MX 7ULP

This white paper discusses how NXP was able to reduce power without severely compromising features and performance dramatically. It also provides a closer look at how the i.MX 7ULP applications processor brings the benefits of a rich OS to battery-powered devices.

Flexible USB4-based Interface IP Solution for AI at the Edge

This white paper describes a flexible USB4-based IP solution for edge AI accelerators and SoCs. The IP solution can be used with multiple types of hosts by supporting legacy PCIe 4.0, USB4, USB 3.x, and USB 2.0 connections.

Supercapacitor Technical Guide

Supercapacitors, also known ultracapacitors and electric double layer capacitors (EDLC), are capacitors with capacitance values greater than any other capacitor type available today. Supercapacitors are breakthrough energy storage and delivery devices that offer millions of times more capacitance than traditional capacitors.

Leveraging 3D Layout to Optimize PCB System Designs

Some engineers believe that the 2D design is no longer sufficient for today’s complicated PCB layouts. Flex and rigid-flex designs, and an increasing need for collaboration with MCAD, require advanced 3D layout design capabilities to address today’s challenges fully.

The DDRx Memory Interface is the Most Complicated Modern Bus

DDRx memory interfaces are key enablers for the technology that shapes modern life. Servers, computers, smartphones, gaming consoles, and GPS systems are just some of the products that demand high-speed, high-bandwidth, double-data-rate memory. Each generation of DDRx DRAM brings new advantages that allow for faster, higher-capacity, and lower-power-consumption products.

Four Tips for 5G New Radio Signal Analysis

Fast, reliable 5G NR networks require devices that operate at millimeter-wave frequencies and wide bandwidths. This has significantly changed the way these complex, integrated devices are designed and tested.

High Reliability Electronics Enhance 5G Communications

The advent of 5G connectivity for vehicles, robotics, and drones creates new markets and applications previously only seen in science fiction movies.

Selecting Cooling Fan Solutions for Kiosks in Any Environment

Interactive electronic kiosks offer a wide range of services and functionality that simplify our daily lives, from beverage self-service to ordering fast food, from vending snacks to purchasing tickets, from bank withdrawals to airport check-ins.

5G is Born - Infographic

5G capabilities cover many different applications, standards, and capabilities. Enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine type communications (mMTC), and ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) all contribute to the extended coverage and never-before-seen reliability with unparalleled accessibility.

Minimizing Power Consumption

More and more devices are battery powered or need to have low power consumption for other reasons. In order to minimize your electronic device’s power consumption, you need to know the exact current profile. The R&S®NGM200 power supply series provides this information.

Portability is Key to Competitiveness For PCB Manufacturers

The ability to efficiently move the manufacturing of a product from one physical location to another is critical for any PCB assembly company.

Steps For Ensuring PCB Assembly Success With Valor NPI

Today, more than ever, as customer demand patterns become more volatile, performance and productivity are under threat. Across the industry, there is rapidly increasing pressure on engineering and materials infrastructures.
