Channel Compensation Methods Used in JESD204B Converters

May 9, 2013 -- The new JESD204B standard, a high speed serial interface for data converters, makes provisions for a maximum speed of 12.5Gbps. With high performance ADCs and DACs supporting several JESD204B lanes of data, the complexity of routing, maintaining signal integrity, minimizing channel insertion loss attenuation, and compensating for inter-symbol interference (ISI) can create a challenge for system engineers to maintain JESD204B compliance in their application. ... read more

Improving Peak Current-Mode Control

May 9, 2013 -- A flyback converter is designed to operate over a specified input voltage range, with a given output voltage and maximum output current. The worst-case design normally is done at the minimum input voltage and maximum output power. In the real world the maximum power delivered at high input line may double that of the power delivered at the minimum input line voltage. This forces power-supply designers to over design the power stage. This article discusses the reason for the increased input power increase and methods to reduce it. It also shows a novel method to improve the performance of peak current-mode control. ... read more

Radar Processing: FPGAs or GPUs?

May 1, 2013 -- FPGAs and CPUs have long been an integral part of radar signal processing. FPGAs are traditionally used for front-end pr ocessing, while CPUs for the back-end processing. As radar systems increase in capability and complexity, the processing requirements have increased dramatically. Wh ile FPGAs have kept pace in increasing processing capabilities and throughput, CP Us have struggled to provide the signal processing performance required in next-gen eration radar. This struggle has led to increasing use of CPU accelerators, such as graphic processing units (GPUs), to support the heavy processing loads. ... read more
