Integrating an I/Q Modulator in a fast 16-bit Arbitrary Waveform Generator

In modern digital communication, usually baseband signals consist of two digital signals called I (in-phase) and Q (quadrature) that are combined by a modulator; this is the reason why to reproduce this kind of signals it is necessary an AWG with two synchronized channels. Although modern communications are based on

Defining Wide Temperature for Industrial Memory Applications

Source: Innodisk

Wide temperature DRAM modules operate within the range of −40°C to 85°C. These modules are designed to tackle harsh environmental conditions seen by applications such as in-vehicle, factories, networking, and outdoor kiosks as well as the surveillance and defense markets. The wide temperature specifications are based on the JEDEC standards

AC-DC power supplies are commonly supplied in what is known by the industry as an open frame format. Open frame generally describes a product which is a PCB only construction, component power supply designed to be installed into an end equipment application which provides the enclosure for the entire product.

Power Architectures for Patient Connected Medical Devices

Source: Gary Bocock, Technical Director, XP Power

This paper discusses approaches for power architectures within medical devices for patient connected applications. There are several key elements to consider; isolation, leakage/touch currents, Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC), number of power outputs required and environment for use. [ Read full paper ]
