Altera has returned to its roots with its latest Stratix 10 FPGA family. The performance figures of this device are certainly impressive. It reminds me of the days when FPGAs were only ranked by their gate count process technology and clock speed. This was before suppliers felt they had to re-style FPGAs as configurable processors. […]

Samsung’s decision to use more ARM processor cores in its smartphones and tablets is not surprising. But these are not Cortex-A series processors they are Mali graphics processing units (GPUs). ARM rival Imagination has the GPU of choice for the mobile market. Apple, Samsung, Motorola, Nokia all use PowerVR graphic processors developed by Imagination. As

Quad Flatpack No leads (QFN) packages offer at least one advantage over Ball Grid Array (BGA) packages: because the electrical connections are partly made via solder lands on the side of the component visual inspection of solder joints and repairing them is easier. Thermally enhancing a package for power applications can be done with a

Imec and Fujifilm have demonstrated full-colour OLEDs by using their jointly-developed photoresist technology for organic semiconductors, a technology that enables submicron patterning. This paves the way to producing high-resolution and large organic electroluminescent (EL) displays and establishing cost-competitive manufacturing methods. Organic EL displays can be made thin and flexible with excellent response time and contrast ratio.Products require organic
