Zigbee vs. Bluetooth
Is Bluetooth about to be uprooted?

In the last issue we discussed the current push for Wireless USB and how it will affect the market for Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) currently presided over by Bluetooth. But we should also discuss ZigBee, another new technology based on the IEEE 802.15 standard used by Bluetooth. To be precise, ZigBee is based on IEEE 802.15.4 whereas Bluetooth is built around IEEE 802.15.1 - it’s similar, but of course different. How different?

Did You Know? Going Lead(Pb)-Free
Electronics need to go Lead(Pb)-Free by July 2006! Take this quiz to see if your products are subject to RoHS Compliancy Regulations:
Do you manufacture or distribute electrical or electronic equipment (EEE), subassemblies or components?
Does the equipment you manufacture or distribute operate under 1000V AC or 1500V DC?
Is the electronic product or equipment destined for any of the counties in the European Union?
Are electrical or electronic components required to fulfill the Products primary function? Can the product work without electronic components, or are the electronics an integral part of the product?

Benefits of Utilizing an FPGA to Structured ASIC Design Flow

Structured ASICs provide a solution for high-volume production at less risk than standard-cell ASICs. Conceived to bridge the gap between standard-cell ASIC technology and FPGAs, these devices feature standard-cell ASIC-like performance at low unit costs combined with faster development times.
