In this article we will study the spectral properties of a deterministic signal exponentially damped in the past and in the future (the damping in the future is controlled by a time constant). The ...

[Simon Inns] just rolled out his latest project, a PIC based spectrum analyzer. He’s using a Fast Fourier Transform routine crafted in C to run as efficiently as possible on the 8-bit chip. The video ...

The purpose of electronic design automation (EDA) software is to solve SoC design problems and simplify the entire process. For design for test (DFT), this means aiming to streamline the DFT ...

Semiconductor companies are racing to develop AI-specific chips to meet the rapidly growing compute requirements for artificial intelligence (AI) systems. AI chips from companies like Graphcore and ...

Many IC designers finally have embraced design for testability (DFT) in the form of scan insertion for digital circuit designs because of the significant time-to-production advantages these techniques ...

Last month (see Part 1) we discussed how a modern, benchtop DVM could be used as a low-frequency waveform analyzer with sampling rates of over 1000 readings/second. This month we take a look at ...
