Laurence Marchini, Editor, writes:
It's good to know I'm
not alone in getting increasingly frustrated by slow Internet
downloads. But, as reported in this column two weeks ago, and echoed
by feedback from you, "e-rage" from slow and/or hanging downloads is a
growing phenomenon.
According to a report from research
company NOP Omnibus, almost two-thirds of adult web users experience
stress while online. But the more worrying finding is that 75% of
those who admitted to being frustrated said their most likely reaction
to a slow or broken download was to give up and go for a drink.
It's not that I'm worried about alcoholism. (Let's face it,
"drink" might equally apply to coffee or even chamomile tea.) The
worry is that whether due to poor bandwidth or poor design,
information is not reaching its target. And if that's the case, what's
the point of the web?
We can all play our part in improving
the situation.
First, stop sending huge unsolicited
e-mails. There's nothing less likely to endear yourself to somebody
than tying up their connection for 40 minutes, as one company did to
me last week.
Secondly, think about the most
bandwidth-efficient way of presenting your information. And if this
means your web designer accuses you of living in the Stone Age, then
so be it. I hate to disillusion the poets among you, but a picture
(and in particular a badly compressed one) isn't worth a thousand
words.
I hope you find this issue of our weekly newsletter
useful. We have thousands of engineers and other industry
professionals on the circulation, so you're in good company. In
addition to the new products, news and ideas featured here, there are
hundreds more on our website and dozens more being added daily, so do
take a look if you can. But you don't need web access! All the full
stories behind the summaries and headlines in this newsletter can be
retrieved by email alone: see details below. In the meantime, if
you've got any suggestions as to how we might make the site or the

OUR TOP
TEN NEW PRODUCTS SELECTION
=======================================================
1.
Low-cost transceiver enables in-vehicle networking
Alcatel
has released an extremely low cost, single-chip LIN transceiver that
provides optimum performance and safety for automotive
in-vehicle-networking (IVN) requirements. The MTC-30600 transceiver
achieves this by providing unlimited short circuit protection in the
event of a fault. Alcatel is also helping define the standardisation
of the low-cost LIN communication protocol, through its partner status
in the LIN consortium.

=======================================================
2. DACs
enable direct RF up conversion
The AD977x
family of dual interpolating TxDAC+ convertors from Analog Devices
allows simpler direct RF up conversion architectures that require
fewer external components. This offers basestation and broadband
system designers a more cost-effective solution for multicarrier 3G
transmitters, HDTV transmitters and satellite systems The AD9777,
AD9775 and AD9773 offer 16, 14 and 12bit resolution, respectively,
support an input datarate up to 160Msample/s with 1x interpolation,
and support a maximum DAC update rate of 400Msample/s with 8x
interpolation.

Daughterboard provides 20MHz real-time emulation
RF
Solutions has a new daughterboard for use with its range of ICEPIC
circuit emulators. The IDB628 helps to speed the development and
testing of embedded systems based on the popular Microchip PIC16F628
microcontroller. The modular system is able to provide real time
emulation at speeds of up to 20MHz, and provides source level
debugging in assembler or C. It also allows the user to set an
unlimited number of hardware trigger breakpoints on any address or
range of addresses.

PICMG 2.16 compliant development chassis
Elma
Electronic UK has released its first PICMG 2.16 compliant development
chassis, complete with 16-slot CompactPCI Packet-Switching Backplane
(cPSB), dual 350W power supplies and advanced modular fan system. The
combination of the early availability of a compliant chassis, built-in
redundancy for power and cooling, and access to Elma's customisation
service, makes the new turnkey chassis ideal for early development
work on high availability 3G wireless, Internet protocol (IP), voice
over IP and similar high-availability high-bandwidth communications
systems.

Analyser gains UMTS network monitoring solution
Tektronix has announced a new Universal Mobile Telecommunication
Systems (UMTS) network monitoring solution. Already a successful
platform for conformance testing and monitoring of diverse
second-generation (2G and 2.5G) network equipment, the Tektronix
K1297-G20 is one of the first tools to support the development of UMTS
equipment. Now it provides UMTS monitoring capability to address each
of these needs and to offer an overall view of the actual performance
level of the mobile network.

Switchless cameras configured by RS232
The JAI
A-Series camera range from Firstsight Vision offers switchless setup
via RS232C and software configurable partial scan (58-124frame/s) for
faster acquisition in applications where full-frame vertical
resolution is unnecessary. Designed for use in high-volume OEM and
automated imaging applications, the A-Series integrates the latest in
ASIC design to provide the first industrial camera available with
setup only through an RS232C interface, requiring no rear-panel DIP
switches or internal camera access to configure the camera.

7. High
throughput for embedded memory
The newly
launched Atmos SoC-RAM merged logic (ML) family of embedded memory
macrocells enables embedded memories up to 128Mbit with bus widths as
large as 1Kbit, throughput up to 400Gbit/s and minimal soft error
susceptibility. The new product family builds on a partnership with
NEC Electronics, announced earlier this year. It takes advantage of
NEC's stacked metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor cell that provides
better than 400MHz random access cycle speed and very low SER well
under 1000FITs per macrocell, regardless of the size.

8. Tiny
SM relays save almost half the PCB space
Omron claims
its latest surface-mount relay has the industry's smallest footprint,
occupying just 55% of the board space of existing models. The
double-pole relay is ideal for high density switching arrays and space
critical applications - especially in its energy-saving single-winding
form, which reduces power consumption and hence heat emitted by over
30%. The new Omron G6J occupies a board area of just 4.8 x 10.3 x
9mm.

Speedy hardware debug for StarCore DSPs
Green
Hills Software has announced the industry's fastest and most
intelligent hardware debug probe for Motorola's StarCore-based MSC810x
DSPs and StarCore-based SoC embedded systems. Used with the Green
Hills Multi 2000 source-level debugger and IDE, the new probe greatly
simplifies the debugging of embedded DSP programs by streamlining
host/target communications and handling many debugging functions
previously handled by the host. The Green Hills Probe uses an embedded
32bit processor and reconfigurable logic to achieve MSC8101
host/target download speeds of 200kbit/s.

Four terminals for accurate resistance measurement
H
Tinsley has introduced the QJ84 that provides resistance measurement
over seven selectable ranges from 20mohm to 20kohm. High sensitivity
makes it suitable for precision measurement of low resistance,
particularly in laboratory and test environments, and its scope covers
cable joints, earth bonds, switches, motors, transformers, generators,
conductor resistance and other applications.
