Over the years, a number of methods have been proposed to realize fractional-N frequency synthesis that are based on the basic concepts of traditional integer-N synthesis [1,5]. Among these methods, three techniques are best known in the industry: fractional divider-based, current injection-based, and ∆Σ modulator-based...
In less than a decade, tens of billions of electronic devices will be connected to the Internet-of-Things (IoT), a vast infrastructure of smart products that represent tens of thousands of different applications. Each of us will typically interact with hundreds of devices every day in order to control and monitor systems...
Power-up control, general purpose I/O expansion, voltage level translation and interface bridging are common functions in telecom infrastructure, server and industrial applications. System designers are turning to the use of programmable logic devices (PLDs) to implement these functions in their designs due to the inherent...
