Computational electrodynamics answers the call
By virtue of its specificity, high-frequency computational electrodynamics stands apart from other areas of numerical simulation, such as stress analysis or thermal analysis. Experts still continue to argue about which method of solving the problem is the fastest or most elegant, but have not yet come to a consensus and have not recognized the absolute leader. | 42 |

Optocouplers for power supplies
The main component of a switching power supply is a PWM controller, which controls the operation of the circuit, organizes its protective shutdown and "sleep mode". Most switching power supply circuits also contain a transformer for converting high voltage to low voltage required to power electronic devices. Another necessary component of this circuit is an optocoupler, with the help of which a feedback circuit is formed from the secondary winding of the pulse transformer to the power controller. | 52 |

KSZ8695P: Multiport Fast Ethernet - On-Chip PCI Gateway
Micrel is targeting Ethernet products such as ADSL modems and optical switches, multimedia platforms.
In order to successfully solve the problems faced by developers when designing new products, chip manufacturers proposed to combine a microcontroller, Fast Ethernet switch and PHY in one chip. In a typical structure of such a microcircuit, there should be a microprocessor with a standard ARM9 core, 1 WAN input, 4 LAN inputs, plus a switch for these 4 inputs. | 64 |
