C-Lube Keeps Linear Motion Components Lubricated

By

Various takes on maintenance-free linear guides have been around for years, but not all of them are created equal. Some focus on achieving the longest possible maintenance-free intervals. Others focus on adding as little as possible to the size of the bearing's mechanical package. The C-Lube linear … [Read more...]

MCU-based High-accuracy Measurement System

By

Measurement systems play a critical role in industrial, medical, and building automation applications where data collected from sensors is used to improve efficiency, ensure reliability, or make certain that equipment is operating safely. This document outlines how MCU-based high-accuracy systems … [Read more...]

Best Practical Jitter Tolerance Testing with MP1900A

By

Improvements to semiconductor device performance have made bit rates of 28Gbps commonplace. Accurate evaluation of device characteristics requires testing by injecting multiple types of jitter on the device under test (DUT). This paper explains types of jitter, guidance on measurements for complex … [Read more...]

7 Principles of Product-Centric Quality Management

By

The burden on quality and operations leaders to introduce compliant and innovative medical devices to market is great. And as regulatory standards, market requirements, and device complexities have evolved, so too has the weight of the burdens these leaders face. Read how product-centric QMS enables … [Read more...]

How to Ensure Equivalence Between C++ and RTL Designs

By

When designers move their untimed C++ design descriptions through a high-level synthesis (HLS) flow, they wonder if the generated, timed RTL is functionally equivalent to the original, high-level description. When they make refinements or optimize RTL for power, they naturally are concerned that … [Read more...]

A Case Study of RTL Power Optimization at NVIDIA

By

Graphic processing chips are known to push the technical limits of hardware design, semiconductor capability and power consumption. With every generation of chips, it becomes more important for engineers to: Minimize power consumption during peak processing loads Optimize power without … [Read more...]
