• FPGAs for ASIC Prototyping Bridge Global Development

  ASIC Prototyping with FPGAs faces global development challenges in the hardware-software IoT and automotive markets.

• Video Decoder delivers 960H image over 500 meter cables with built-in Adaptive Equalizer (AEQ)

  Pericom’s multi-channel A/D video decoders with AEQ are an ideal solution to solve the problem of video signal degradation over long, analog CCTV cables. Our proprietary built-in Adaptive Equalization (AEQ) algorithms recover signal over 500-meter or longer cables, and eliminate the additional costly signal amplifiers in the Surveillance Security CCTV systems. In this video, you will see the camera image comparison of Pericom's AEQ-enabled video decoders in real surveillance application.

• 8-bit MCUs Keep Getting Better With "Intelligent Analog" Features

  8-bit MCUs just keep getting better and more integrated. Extension Media's Chris A. Ciufo interviews Microchip's 8-bit MCU guru Greg Robinson. Among the new "intelligent analog" PIC16F170X/171X family's best features: two internal Op Amps and Zero Cross Detect--both analog features reduce board space and BOM cost. 10-bit ADC and 8-bit DACs plus a programmable pin crossbar make these 8-bangers some of the most innovative in the market.

• DEMO from EE Live! 2014: 8-bit MCU runs inductive cooktop demo

  8-bit MCU runs inductive cooktop demo. Microchip's Greg Robinson, 8-bit MCU director, shows Extension Media's Chris A. Ciufo the new PIC16F170X/171X in a "smart" kitchen. This device not only takes the heat...it controls it!

• Houston...Houston...Come In Houston

  Just imagine being on the international space station when it begins somersaulting through space, unable to get steady power from the solar panels and unable to communicate with Earth. Retired Capt. Dan Bursch talks about one of the harrowing tales from science non-fiction. Check out the video at www.sldcommunity.com.
