Even though the eGaN FET was designed and optimized as a power-switching device, it also exhibits good RF characteristics. The smallest 200 V eGaN FET, EPC2012, was selected for RF evaluation and should be viewed as a starting point from which the RF characteristics of future eGaN FET part numbers can be optimized for...
All power supplies generate waste heat which has to be dissipated. The heating effect becomes greater as more components are squeezed into smaller spaces. The result of miniaturization is higher levels of heat per cubic volume of space.
The heat generated by components not only passes into the air around the components...
Safety, availability, and cost considerations can make performing thorough tests of embedded control devices
using the complete system impractical.
Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation is a real-time test technique used to test these devices more efficiently.
During HIL test, the physical system that interfaces...

Growing demand for faster access to larger volumes of data, coupled with emerging high-speed network standards and rapidly advancing technology, is having a profound impact on network infrastructure. As 40 Gb fiber becomes a standard option in data centers, the challenge of connecting 40 Gb equipment with existing 10 Gb...
Over the years, a number of methods have been proposed to realize fractional-N frequency synthesis that are based on the basic concepts of traditional integer-N synthesis [1,5]. Among these methods, three techniques are best known in the industry: fractional divider-based, current injection-based, and ∆Σ modulator-based...

This whitepaper includes a review of differential pair properties and how they differ between tightly and loosely coupled pairs. Also a description of test set-up used to look at signal integrity through several different differential pair architectures. The results are then shown and the information is concluded. ...
The ongoing, rapid proliferation of wireless devices and accelerating demand for bandwidth-intensive data services is putting increasing strain on point-to-point radio backhaul radio networks and cellular base stations, particularly in densely populated metro environments.
To mitigate this strain, mobile operators...
Analog Devices’ new RF and microwave (MW) switch and attenuator products implemented in advanced silicon process benefit inherent advantages of silicon technology compared to legacy counterparts using gallium-arsenide (GaAs). This paper provides highlights on features and key performance parameters of the new switch...
With the recent rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), 14 billion devices are now connected. However, the growth of this is also significant, by 2020 it is predicted that over 50 billion devices will be connected. With these devices connected, systems are opened up for remote access and control. In turn, this has shown...
Digital power is one of the most important technologies for reducing power consumption and managing the growing power complexity in modern electronic systems.
This paper explores the many benefits for system designers working with digital power modules, and shows how digital power modules can simplify the design of...
In traditional networking management, it can take a lot of time to configure each network device with duplicate settings, as well as perform firmware synchronization. If, after deployment, an issue appears without an obvious method of solving, it can quickly affect the efficiency of the network.

Fiber optic cable no longer stops at the base of the cell tower. As mobile communication network operators deploy advanced 3G and LTE/4G networks, many are pulling fiber right up the tower. Operators have found that fiber-to-the-antenna (FTTA) architectures offer a number of advantages over legacy coaxial systems, including...
Low-Cost and No-Cost Cooling Best Practices Provide Exceptional ROI for Small to Mid-Size Data Centers
Cooling tends to take a back seat to other concerns when server rooms and small to mid-size data centers are first built. As computing needs grow, increased heat production can compromise equipment performance and...
