USB Type-C PD 3.0 Specification, Charging and Design - EDN
网页2021年6月25日 · The first one—Power Delivery 2.0—supports fixed output voltages including 5, 9, 12, 15, or 20V at specific operating currents, for example 3 A. The second specification—PD 3.0—includes programmable power supply (PPS), a feature that allows the USB Type-C charger’s output voltage to be adjusted in …
Setup and Hold Time Basics - EDN
网页2012年4月19日 · Hold time is defined as the minimum amount of time after the clock’s active edge during which data must be stable. Violation in this case may cause incorrect data to be latched, which is known as a hold violation. Note that setup and hold time is measured with respect to the active clock edge only.
What is Memory Fragmentation? (and How To Avoid It) - EDN
网页2004年6月10日 · Avoiding memory fragmentation. Memory fragmentation comes about as the result of allocating and freeing a memory block but not returning the freed memory to the largest block. The last step is critical. If the memory allocator is to be of any use, you cannot prevent applications from allocating and freeing blocks.
A guide to using FETs for voltage controlled circuits, Part 1
网页2017年10月13日 · The answer is yes (e.g., VCR11), but it turns out that virtually any other FET (e.g., JFET and MOSFET) can be used as a voltage controlled resistor. Basic voltage controlled resistor (VCR) circuits. One of the simplest uses of a voltage controlled resistor is an electronically controlled attenuator or “volume control”.
Eye Diagram Basics: Reading, Analyzing and Applying
网页2011年12月16日 · An eye diagram is a common indicator of the quality of signals in high-speed digital transmissions. An oscilloscope generates an eye diagram by overlaying sweeps of different segments of a long data stream driven by a master clock. The triggering edge may be positive or negative, but the displayed pulse …
The Basics Of Quantum Computing - EDN
网页2019年8月13日 · Communication with qubits that are inside a dilution refrigerator is accomplished by using calibrated microwave pulses so that the qubit is put into a superposition, or the qubit’s state is flipped from 0 to 1 by applying a microwave pulse between two qubits. Microwave signals are also responsible for entanglement.

Gate level simulations: verification flow and challenges - EDN
网页2014年3月5日 · Simulations are an important part of the verification cycle in the process of hardware designing. It can be performed at varying degrees of physical abstraction: (a) Transistor level. (b) Gate level. (c) Register transfer level (RTL) Advertisement. In many companies RTL simulations is the basic requirement to signoff design cycle, but lately ...
