All poles and zeros may make sense in class, but once the student tries to relate them to a physical circuit in the lab, there seems to be a chasm between the blackboard and the bench. In the present blog I’ll try to develop a physical feel for poles and zeros, using an op amp to control their location in the complex plane, and using the natural response of a circuit to illustrate the effect of pole/zero location.

Intel Corp. built its formidable reputation as a hardware company. But if the world is, indeed, moving to embrace, apply, and implement more and more artificial intelligence-based algorithms in processing data, the yardstick for the success of processors and those who develop them will inevitably change.
Comprehensive device management is a core requirement for any IIoT strategy. The Mentor Embedded IoT Framework provides comprehensive IIoT features that can be implemented down to the hardware of the edge or end node devices – and can be ported across platforms and clouds.

The first installment of this article series discussed the need to verify SPICE model accuracy and how to measure the open- and closed-loop small-signal AC output impedance of operational amplifier (op amp) models. In part 2, I’ll explain how to verify the parameters of an op amp that define its small-signal bandwidth or frequency response while the op amp is in its linear operating region: open-loop gain/phase (Aol), closed-loop gain (Acl) and small-signal step response. |

New connector and cable technologies deliver higher data rates, higher signal integrity, and higher density for next-generation data centers.
There are plenty of people out there who are convinced that 5G is going to be used to control our lives and make us sterile. The conspiracy theorists argue that 5G will lead to many more wireless devices everywhere — what we call IoT. The additional emissions from these devices will supposedly also increase health risks. What they don't mention is that many IoT devices will transmit only for short periods and at low power levels. |

There have been rumblings of late regarding the utility of the L70 metric in characterizing the expected life of LED luminaires. The question is whether it might be time for lighting manufacturers to recalibrate performance metrics to align more closely with customer expectations. |

Electromagnetic compatibility is indispensable in today‘s products, and EMC components are the key to ensuring it. This webinar presents individual EMC solutions and shows how support with measurements works – including on-site.
In the field of vehicle diagnosis, the use of Ethernet provides significant improvements in comparison to established methods. But the use of Automotive Ethernet requires rethinking in the development process and validation of such networks.

There has been a tremendous amount of research in recent years into brain-inspired computing to tackle the explosion in computing performance and memory requirements. And then there’s the European Human Brain Project’s neuromorphic computing project, which has been working on constructing two large-scale, unique neuromorphic machines and prototyping the next generation neuromorphic chips. |

The U.S. Department of Defense is pushing for a $2.2 billion program to fund a broad range of electronics efforts. The news came at an event here where speakers agreed that Moore’s Law is slowing but chip advances will continue thanks to a basket of alternatives to CMOS scaling.
In the field of vehicle diagnosis, the use of Ethernet provides significant improvements in comparison to established methods. But the use of Automotive Ethernet requires rethinking in the development process and validation of such networks.
This White Paper will identify the pros and cons of Single Board Computers and Computer-on-Modules, exploring the technical differences and unique features of both and will also examine the implications of choosing one platform over another from a business perspective.
