  • Isolation Cell Usage Tips Continued

    There were many questions on why output isolation is preferred over input isolation logic, sorry could not get time to respond to all the queries related to this. Here is my view point on this Output signal isolation method is usually a preferred choice than the input isolation method as former leads to fewer isolation...

  • ARM, Intel and the Meaning of iPad

    It is perhaps a little over a year since it became obvious to everyone that Intel and ARM were starting to stamp on each other’s toes. For years it was assumed that only x86 could do ‘real’ computers and only ARM could do battery devices. For some reason it was netbooks, a tiny market with [...]...
