Introduction:Phase Change Memory, a type of non-volatile computer memory also known as PRAM, PCM, and PCRAM, is a new and promising technology. PRAM uses the unique behavior of chalcogenide glass, which can be switched between two states, crystalline and amorphous, with the application of heat. Recent versions can achieve two additional distinct states, effectively doubling its storage capacity.
This webinar will provide basic information on the physics and operation of PRAM memory elements. Common characterization and measurement techniques will be described and compared, including the R-Load method and a technique using Keithley’s ultra-fast IV unit.
Target Audience:
This seminar is recommended primarily for test engineers and test engineering managers who are new to making PRAM measurements, but it will be useful for the experienced user, as well.

Introduction:In today's system design, design cycle time is very short. In many cases, power supply design is put as the last task and PCB space left behind for power circuit is very limited. This issue can be solved by the LMZ-series of power modules introduced by National Semiconductor. SIMPLE SWITCHER Power Module series is an enhancement of the highly successful SIMPLE SWITCHER® family; the new series has a higher level of integration and user can experience new meaning of "ease of use".
The power modules provide the efficiency of a synchronous switching regulator with the simplicity of a linear regulator, eliminating the external inductor and complex layout placement challenges typical of switching regulator designs.
Besides explaining the features of SIMPLE SWITCHER Power Module, this web seminar will touch on the new WEBENCH Power Architect design tool. The enhanced WEBENCH Power Architect enables engineers to rapidly create multi-output DC-DC power supplies for an entire system. SIMPLE SWITCHER Power Module & Power Architect works hand in hand to tackle any power issue from concept to prototype in unprecedented short period of time.

Introduction:With less capital available for continuous system "upgrades", new data center solutions must be flexible and energy efficient to support the multi-faceted expansions to keep ahead of users data storage needs. Engineers are leveraging open industry standards like PCI Express (PCIe) and SAS/SATA, to create cost-efficient architectures which address current and future data center requirements. In this webinar, we are going to discuss the key concerns that system designers face while designing high-speed interconnects and the solutions that can support PCIe 2.5/5.0G and SAS/SATA 3.0/6.0G. National Semiconductor is ready for the future system requirements.

Introduction:NXP recently released the industry's fastest ARM® Cortex™-M3 based family of microcontrollers, the LPC1700 series. Running at speeds of up to 100 MHz, LPC1700 microcontrollers are 28 - 64% faster than comparable Cortex-M3 microcontrollers available on the market today.
During this Webinar, I will provide an overview of the LPC1700's key features and benefits, enabling it to offer best-in-class performance. I look forward to your participation.

Introduction:Most of the telecom systems today contain on board high performance processors, FPGAs and ASICs. A cost effective solution that can drive these systems while delivering high current levels at low output voltages, fast transient response and tight regulation is in high demand. All these requirements raise the bar for the next generation power distribution architectures (PDAs), which in turn inspire evolution of new technologies. This seminar will discuss the evolution of PDAs, as well as key features and technical details of several power distribution systems. It will conclude with market share predictions of different PDAs for the next 5 years.

Introduction:TCA and uTCA are getting popular in today's infrastructure systems. We see an increasing number of designs with bus supporting multiple daughter cards. The first Hot-swap control chip was introduced to reduce the inrush current when plugging a card into the backplane. Now, the hot-swap technology is far more mature.
In this seminar, learn how to control hot-swap reliability, stability and overall cost with your backplane control scheme in this seminar. Also, find sample waveforms that demonstrate how intelligent current-power limit combined technology helps with hot-swap interface design.

Introduction:Differentiating your products inevitably requires FPGAs with greater functionality, maximum performance, and minimum power consumption. You need to find the right mix of features and functionality to manage power budgets in high-performance applications.
In this webcast, learn about high-end 40-nm FPGAs that meet your next-generation performance and power requirements. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at new technologies such as:
• Strained silicon and triple-gate oxide, and why they matter to you
• New transceiver technology for the highest system bandwidth
• Power optimization via FPGA architecture and the Quartus^® II software

Introduction:Designers for data acquisition systems are always facing new challenges from complex noise sources inside and outside of the systems. A lot of time and efforts have to be spent on removing the noise captured from various components of the data acquisition process: Operational Amplifiers, Analog to Digital Converters, Power lines and Digital Communication Interface and so on. In this webinar, we would like to share the techniques and solutions with design engineers on how to improve noise rejection, especially the EMI from the working environment of devices, e.g. Cell phone Signal, UHF, VHF¡­etc. We will also discuss from concept to real application our EMI rejection solution and how this solution simplifies data acquisition system designs.
