Simulation Model of Digital Clock and Data Recovery for Strongly Disturbed Signals
White Paper All simulations were performed in the Mentor Graphic's SystemVision 4.4 environment using VHDL-AMS models of signal source, data path and recovery circuits. The paper describes VHDL-AMS simulation model... [22 Oct 2008]
Modeling of Jitter in Bang-Bang Clock and Data Recovery Circuits
White Paper In contrast to their linear counterparts, bang-bang PDs relax the speed and precision required of flipflops and other circuits in the signal path, reducing the complexity and the power dissipation. Clock... [22 Oct 2008]
Open-Loop Clock and Data Recovery Systems
White Paper CDR circuits typically use PLLs, but their complexity presents several design challenges : the input data stream is random and is usually in Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ) data format, and little energy exists at the clock... [22 Oct 2008]
Using Application Layer Technology to Overcome the Impact of Satellite Circuit Latency on VPN Performance

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means
Comment Even the migration from analogue to digital circuits did little to change this model. Just as a web page can be broken up into 'packets', audio can be sampled with a digital signal processor (DSP),... [10 Feb 2005]
Intel gears up to put an end to PC copper
News Channels in PCI Express - a faster connection for shuttling data within a PC - can pass data at 2.5gbps, but metal channels will likely top out at 10gbps and 20gbps because of signal attenuation and other problems, said... [01 Mar 2004]
HP to unveil nanotech breakthrough
News To date, HP has demonstrated how a molecular layer can be used to connect standard computer circuits, but it has not shown off more elaborate grids complete with the intersections and signal lights that... [09 Sep 2002]
TI aims to slash PC prices with superchip
News Steve Sutton, vice president of TI's Storage Products Group, said the chip will integrate five integrated circuits (IC) for hard disk drives into a single CMOS device. It will put read-channel function with DSP (digital... [10 Mar 1999]
