Topic: Choosing the right process
Author: Ron Wilson
It used to be that designers would always pick the most recent available process for their new chip designs. But spiraling costs, increasing design complexity and diminishing returns in the world beyond 90 nm are calling that assumption into question. This article examines how top design teams today are selecting the target process for their next IC design.

Topic: Embedding Video
Author: Warren Webb
The recent trend toward on-demand video in high volume products such as mobile phones and music players has captured the attention of the consumer while expanding the performance expectations of traditional embedded systems. Designers must redefine the networking bandwidth, built-in storage, processing power, display characteristics, and real-time performance of potential products. Technical editor Warren Webb will examine the standards, off-the-shelf hardware, and compression software available for embedded video designs.
