Firmware Compression for Lower Energy and Faster Boot in IoT Devices
The phrase “IoT” for Internet of Things has exploded to cover a wide range of different applications and diverse devices with very different requirements. Most observers, however, would agree that low energy consumption is a key element for IoT, as many of these devices must run on batteries or harvest energy from the environment.Articles for the Week of October 19, 2015
Designing High Performance Interposers with 3-port and 6-port S-parameters
This paper will interpret multiport S-parameters for several memory interposer design cases. This will help the audience understand some of the performance characteristics that can be inferred from the S-parameters, as well as some of the interactions between the interposer and the device under test and probing system- System on Chip, or System on Chips: The Many Paths to Integration
