Even in today’s digital, IT-intensive radio plant, there is still a need to design and build one-of-a-kind electronic circuits. Simple devices such as digital tone generators and small distribution ...

Digi-Key, the electronic component distributor, has decided to venture into schematic tools with Scheme-it, a free web-based schematic drawing and diagramming tool. Designed using HTML5 technology, ...

A lot of attention—and hype—has focused on bringing traditional office-productivity programs, such as the OpenOffice.org suite, to Linux. However, another important—and far less-hyped—area where Linux ...

Demand for specialized integrated circuits for military electronics continues to surge exponentially with no end in sight. Systems that synchronize the activity of unmanned aerial vehicles; real-time ...

The lingua franca of electronic design is the schematic. I can pick up a datasheet written in Chinese (a language I do not read or speak) and usually get a half-decent idea of what the part is all ...

IBM is tinkering with a new material that could drastically slash the costs of "drawing" circuits on semiconductors, and the stuff is a close relative to tennis shoe glue. At the International ...
