PCI PIO Board: An experiment of the PCI board to build with generic parts,
such as a GAL and TTL logics. PCI is a industrial standard bus on the parsonal
computers. But nobody tries to build the PCI board personaly, so I tried it. And it
had been completed with successful :-) (added 10/05)
PCMCIA Card and Card Socket Power Management: AN60 Linear Technology Most
portable systems have expansion sockets conforming to the standards set by the
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA). This standard
requires the host to perform an unusual amount of switching on both the VCC and VPP
voltage lines. Card designers face difficult power management and DC/DC conversion
issues of their own. Board real estate and component height are at a premium making
design difficult and component selection critical. This application note discusses in
detail both the host and card designer issues and highlights several new products
designed specifically for these applications.
PCS RF-Stage Design: Tackling the Trade-Offs: 11/21/96 EDN-Design Feature /
(added 11/05) Building Effective RF design requires that you carefully manage
trade-offs. You'll have to accept less-than-optimum performance in some dimensions to
achieve your primary objectives.—Bill Schweber, Technical Editor
PCS: Not Just Another Cell Phone: 11/21/96 EDN-Design Feature / (added
11/05) Building Thanks to the availability of low-cost digital chip sets, PCS is
now becoming affordable and finding use in fax, e-mail, and palmtop computer
functions. Capitalizing on that affordability, PCS providers and IC makers are hoping
to lure consumers with imaginative and user friendly features: large, easy-to-read
displays; ergonomic touchscreens; and speech recognition.—Stephen Kempainen, Technical
Editor
