Addressing the Data Transfer Disconnect Between the RF Design Platform and the PCB Layout Editor

RF/microwave IP, developed in a specialized design environment, must be transferred to a PCB layout editor where manufacturing constraints, design rule checking (DRC), layout vs. schematic (LVS) and corporate-approved components can be applied and integrated with the power and digital electronics.  The transfer of RF design data (schematic and layout) is tyopically re-entered manually by […]

Introduction to MIPI-C PHY Interface Design and Analysis – A Whole New World

Transmitting data from point A to point B became infinitely more interesting when the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Alliance published the specification for the C-PHY interface.  It is faster, lower power, and uses fewer signaling lines than other MIPI interfaces, making it easy to understand why designers of many displays and cameras in mobile […]
