Cover Story 
Run for your life:Ultralow-power systems designed for the long haul
Systems can achieve an average current drain of the order of 1µA by relying on a low duty cycle and by minimizing the power needs of their processor, software, and analog interface.
 
Design Feature 
Black boxes capture car-crash data, controversy
Warren Webb
Capable of recording mechanical and human performance before and during a crash, motor-vehicle event-data recorders have attracted the attention of safety and privacy advocates.
PCI Express and ASI: Avoiding chaos at 2Gbps
At data rates as high as 2Gbps per lane, little things can make big differences in signal integrity. Experts disagree on whether thinking about what’s really going on can improve performance or only make it worse.
