The recent announcement that Yahoo has purchased the blogging site Tumblr for $1.1 billion shines a bright light on another dropout success story. David Karp, the 26-year-old founder of Tumblr, dropped out of high school at age 14 and never enrolled in college.
I can't help but think of a super-charged power booster in video games when I hear the term "SuperSpeed USB." The specification is currently defined at 10 Gbit/s SS USB 0.7 DRAFT, and has a 10 Gbit/s data rate. Draft 0.7 is compatible with existing 5 Gbit/s and new 10 Gbit/s USB 3.0 hubs and devices, as well as USB 2.0 products. Check out this short ...
High-speed digital design is a practice that requires a lot of expertise and perhaps a little good luck from time to time -- and it would not be possible without a technology ecosystem that itself is a wonder to behold.
In a previous blog I questioned the need for creating more high-speed interfaces, but I think it is clear to most people that the interface between the processor and the memory is perhaps the biggest problem that most systems face these days. If that interface could be improved, then the processors could get a lot more accomplished, which in turn may put ...
We're informed in the DesignCon call for papers that "product promotion in a paper, panel, or tutorial proposal will lead to rejection of the proposal." Actually, there is a place for commercial content; what there is no place for are commercials!

I read a nice Mother's Day piece the other day by Suzanne Deffree describing how she is nurturing her young son's inclination toward engineering. It reminded me of my mother's practice of saving old radios and other small appliances for me to take apart (unplugged, of course) and discover their inner workings.

High speed digital chip-to-chip link performance is often limited by jitter in the multigigabit per second regime. It is a surprising fact that jitter can actually be amplified by a lossy channel even when the channel is linear, passive, and noiseless. In this webcast we will cover the basics of jitter amplification and show you how to accurately analysis the effect in your system using ADS Channel Simulator.
