Driverless vehicles take on the desert

(EDN Asia, 1 Feb 2006)
The Darpa Grand Challenge-not since the fabled transcontinental races of a century ago have so many engineers, professors, students, corporate teams, and garage tinkerers been drawn to so daunting a ....
 

Riding the sine wave

(EDN Asia, 1 Feb 2006)
Proponents of BPL (broadband-over-powerline) technology insist that the best wires for the last mile were strung and connected long ago. But BPL still faces technical hurdles, a potentially nasty standards ....
 

Energy harvesters extract power from light, vibrations

(EDN Asia, 1 Jan 2006)
Many systems, such as tiny wirelessnetworked sensor nodes and low-cost calculators for the consumer market, have severely constrained power sources resulting from remote location, cost considerations, ....
 

Powering to the heavens

(EDN Asia, 1 Jan 2006)
Rocket engines are reaction engines, in that they throw mass, generally in the form of a hightemperature and high-pressure gas, in one direction to create a reactionary thrust in the opposite direction. ....
 

The right way to use instrumentation amplifiers

(EDN Asia, 1 Dec 2005)
Instrumentation amplifiers find wide use in real-world data acquisition. However, designers often incorrectly apply them. Specifically, although modern in amps have excellent CMR (common-mode rejection), ....
 

Thermal integrity: A must for low-power- IC digital design

(EDN Asia, 1 Dec 2005)
Over the last three years, IC-power management has moved from a thirdorder to a first-order concern for chip designers, especially those designing ASICs and SOCs (systems on chips) for portable-system ....
 

Pryingeyes: Contactless traveling

(EDN Asia, 1 Dec 2005)
Much has been written over the past year about the transition to electronic passports. Reasonably minded privacy advocates attack potential security loopholes in the technology, and the lunatic fringe ....
 

Choosing and using microprocessor memory interfaces

(EDN Asia, 1 Nov 2005)
Designers evaluating memory-interface options need to optimize the trade offs among capacity, bandwidth, efficiency, and system constraints. Microprocessor-based systems are ideal for executing an essentially ....
 

WiFi and Bluetooth fight for bandwidth

(EDN Asia, 1 Nov 2005)
Bluetooth and WLAN are on a collision course—not in the market, but in the airwaves. WLAN (wireless LAN) using the WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) IEEE 802.11b/g protocol is becoming standard in PCs and laptop ....
 

Cheap shot

(EDN Asia, 1 Nov 2005)
An SOC makes a one-time-use video camera feasible. Will consumers embrace the minimalist feature set? Starting about a few months ago, a drugstore chain began selling a digital-video camera for the paltry ....
