| 1394: Still the best bus for network backbones
|
2001-05-16 |
| If imitation is the highest form of flattery, those who advocate the 1394 multimedia standard ought to feel proud. Every time a group or company touts a new specification, it claims the new spec will do what 1394 already does. |

Tap AC-coupling for LVDS signals
|
2008-01-02 |
| Using capacitors to AC-couple an LVDS data link provides many benefits, such as level shifting, removing common-mode errors, and protecting against input-voltage fault conditions. This article will help designers select the proper capacitor and the termination topology for this design approach. Common troubleshooting issues are also discussed |

High PoE made simple
|
2008-03-03 |
| According to National Semiconductor's Grant Smith, high Power-over-Ethernet (HPoE) standards are still to be resolved. What is expected by most is that the voltage source will be increased to 53Vdc, usable current from each line to about 750mA, and the total resistance in the cable be limited below 12.5Ω. But for some applications, this is not enough power. One solution is to use multiple Ethernet lines, but this raises the problem of power sharing. |

| Computers of the next millennium: Unplugged
|
1999-12-22 |
| My daughter is fairly computer literate and does not give much thought to the Y2K problem or the possibility of computers/software failing at the end of the millennium. But my wife lives in terror, fearing that planes will fall out of the sky, power utilities will fail (not mention computer banking systems), and even the |
