    Good sources of information regarding S-parameters

    Hello all, I am wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of any good material that explains s-parameters. So far, I have encountered explanations that just confuse with no effort put into simplifying the concept. Even my lecturer assumes that the entire class are geniuses. I don't mind...

    Guidelines for a general OLED interface

    I recently bought a Tiva launchpad and have been playing around with it for the last couple of weeks. I wanted to interface an OLED module to it and was wondering what the options for this was? There is a booster pack available but this is now sold out, so I suppose that I have to create my own...

    Interpreting C pointers, dereferencing and indirection

    I have been going through a book on embedded development. I have been followin the C programs in the book with about 95% success as C is not completely new to me. But I am new to pointers so I was hoping someone would kindly clear a few things for me. #define INPUT (*((volatile unsigned long...

    Designing a CPU Using Multimedia Logic - Need Advice

    There are MUX's but they are all bit lines, you cannot switch buses, there is a bus tool, again they are all bit lines. I can't for the life of me figure out how that is useful, and I'm guessing there is some approach to designing processors in this software but if there is I haven't found it.

    Designing a CPU Using Multimedia Logic - Need Advice

    Because not everyone else who is doing this unit has got expierience with Xilinx ISE. The reason I find it difficult is there is too many restrictions on what you can do with the components. For example, I created a 16-bit Instruction memory by placing two generic 8-bit memory components side by...

    Designing a CPU Using Multimedia Logic - Need Advice

    apologies, Multimedia logic is software that is used to design and simulate logic circuits. I am interested in using it to design a processor but I can't find any documentation on how to use this software correctly

    Designing a CPU Using Multimedia Logic - Need Advice

    I have recently been commanded with the task of designing a simple single cycle CPU to implement a sorting algorithm. We must design the project using multimedia logic. I have an idea how to design the processor, but I have no idea how to use this software. From my basic understanding of it, it...

    Oscilloscope Quality: ATTEN ADS1102CAL vs OWON SDS7102

    haha i agree. We saw a used tektronix for $350 but no probes, an older model. I would really love an agilent or tektronix scope. However, i am a lowly student that can't afford such extravagence. But I will look to see if i can get some reviews on ebay/amazon. Thank you

    Oscilloscope Quality: ATTEN ADS1102CAL vs OWON SDS7102

    Hello people, I am wondering if anyone is familiar with these brands of oscilloscope. I would like to know so I don't end up investing in something that breaks in a 2 months ATTEN ADS1102CAL 100M Hz 1G Digital Oscilloscope 7" LCD -price $336 OWON 100Mhz Oscilloscope SDS7102 1G/s large 8"...

    Guidance for improving practical skills

    instrumentation and measurement, digital electronics are the two tech units i have(as well as a math unit and a management unit). next semester is computer architecture, microprocessor systems, electronic circuit design and signals & systems. I have done analog electronics already and software...
