As memory technology evolves, there is an increasing move towards higher operating frequencies and the use of BGA (ball grid-array) chip packages. This is as true for the DDR/DDR2/DDR3 memory modules commonly found in desktop and laptop computers as it is for the low-power LPDDR/LPDDR2 memory used in mobile computing devices and embedded devices...
With the consumer market changing faster and faster, the focus of electronic products has been gradually shifting from computing speeds and functionalities to design of the appearances, especially in an age where smartphones and tablet PCs are storming the market and becoming an integral part of many people's life...
Despite significant supply chain disruptions over the last year, Fusion, the 3rd largest independent distributor of electronic components, registered substantial growth and expansion throughout its organization. Achieving record revenue of $275 million in 2011, the double-digit sales increase is attributed to new customers and infrastructure investments...
Although Taiwan has achieved good results in the embedded device and machine tools manufacturing industries, there has never been a domestically-produced SoC. This has left consumer ICs as the only substitute, causing a raft of problems for product development and design...
The features of USB 3.0 - such as rapid data transfer rates, and backward compatibility with USB 2.0/1.1 devices that users do not need to adjust to - has led to uptake rates rising rapidly from 20-30% last year to 80-90% in a short space of time...
The new-generation UEFI firmware architecture offers an integrated environment to accelerate firmware development. Its functions not only cover legacy BIOS, but also improve boot-up performance, system security, cloud connection and intelligent technology support...
The development of processors has entered the generation of the "heterogeneous multi-core processor", in which the integration of different types of processors (such as GPU, DSP, general processors, etc.) in the same chip, is not only delivering strong compute-performance, but also bringing about several innovative changes in functionality and the control of embedded system products, according to...
The cloud computing wave stirred up by strong demand for tablet PCs and smartphones will also spread to the Internet of Things (IoT) in the future, creating new business opportunities that everyone will crave a share of...
The integration of the three major IT application technologies, embedded systems, the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing architecture, will trigger an "intelligent system" revolution in the conventional embedded device market creating completely new life, work and decision-making experiences for business managers, employees and general consumers...
