There is increased demand for SRAMs with faster speed, better performance, lower currents, and better signal integrity for next-generation networking applications. To keep up with this demand, the 65nm technology QDR families of devices have been introduced which offer significant advantages over 90nm technology-based QDR devices. This article describes in detail the advantages of the 65nm technology QDR family devices over their 90nm technology equivalent and provides guidelines for simplifying the migration from 90nm to 65nm technology.

Now in its 6th Edition, this handbook focuses primarily on A/D converters with sampling rates higher than 100 MHz. Sampling techniques are reviewed, as well as FPGA technology and high-speed serial fabrics. The latest Pentek board- and system-level high-speed A/D products and some applications based on these products are also presented.

The new MAX-510 from Aaxeon Technologies is a Mini Linux-ready ARM9-based computing platform for embedded headless run-only applications. The MAX-510 is a true Linux computing platform and supports versatile file systems. Users can operate the MAX-510 the same way as they do on a normal Linux desktop.
