Power consumption and performance's library on DSPs: case study MPEG2.
INTRODUCTION The design of embedded systems on chip is a complex process, involving different steps at different abstraction levels. Design steps can be grouped into two major tasks: architecture design space exploration and selection of architectural platform, parameters components and architecture design. The overall design process must...

EMS gets a charge out of medical devices: electronic manufacturing service providers' role in the medical device outsourcing arena continues to thrive, despite Medtech's unique challenges.
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] To many on the provider side of the healthcare equation, the initials EMS mean" emergency medical services." Should you be one of the many who toil in the outsourcing marketplace, however, the abbreviation takes on a significantly different meaning. EMS--or electronic manufacturing services--is the term...

Empirical analysis and mathematical representation of the path length complexity in binary decision diagrams.
Abstract: Information about the distribution of path-lengths in a Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) representing Boolean functions is useful in determining the speed of hardware and software implementations of the circuit represented by these Boolean functions. This study presents expressions produced from an empirical analysis of a representative collection of...

FPGA based SPWM bridge inverter.
INTRODUCTION Pulse width modulation (PWM) is widely used in power electronics to digitize the power so that a sequence of alternating voltage pulses can be generated by the on and off of the inverter power transistors. Inverter is defined as a converter that is used to change...

Drafters drawing up the plans: Whether it's homes or space stations, drafters play a key role in construction. Perhaps you will be "drawn" to this interesting occupation. (Tech Connection).
Drafting is not just a job--it's an adventure. OK, so maybe that's a stretch. But at the same time, drafting can be an outstanding occupation. Drafters do important work, creating the written plans needed for all kinds of construction projects. They play a key role in the...

Codesign methodology of real-time embedded controllers for electromechanical systems.
Abstract: Under increasing time-to-market pressures in the electric drives industries, the development time of new algorithms and new control systems including their debugging time must be minimized. This requirement can be satisfied only by using a well-defined system-level design methodology and by reducing the migration time between the algorithm...
