For wireless communications systems, user device testing was originally based on conducted measurements. Even on component level, RF connectors were available for measuring metrics and characterizing RF performance. Such metrics can be divided into TX performance parameters such as power level, EVM quality or spectral...

Flash memory is commonly used to store firmware in embedded systems. Occasionally, the firmware stored in the Flash memory in some systems is accidentally corrupted, preventing the system from booting up after power-on. Flash corruption is commonly associated with a software bug. However, it is also commonly understood...
This paper provides an overview of controller hardware and firmware technology. Managing the interfaces to non-volatile memory such as NAND flash on one side and to a host system on the other, as well as translating the different protocols used on both sides, is a basic function of all controllers. Additionally, flash...
To convert the high innovation potential of digitalization into competitive advantage, it is essential to be in control of the exploding data volumes. For new, intelligent applications, it is often not enough to save the data delivered by digital sensors in data centres or a cloud. On applications and operating conditions,...

With the rapid spread of the IoT, many devices that were not connected to a network in the past increasingly require the integration of a communication module function. Conversely, the number and severity of security threats are also on the rise. Microcontrollers therefore must meet a range of demands, including smaller...
Every type of electronic equipment – from PCs, servers and network equipment, to home theaters, computer peripherals and mobile devices – is vulnerable to damage caused by power surges and line noise interference. With a relatively modest investment, surge protectors offer a highly effective way to protect...
The need to respond to changing market standards in a compressed time to market window has led to the widespread use of programmable logic devices (PLDs) in a broad range of consumer applications. While development of application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and application specific standard parts (ASSPs) requires...
