Digital Electronics, Volume 2

Engineers can create next-generation products quicker and easier with today's release of ANSYS 18.2. ANSYS continues to build upon the digital exploration and digital prototyping capabilities released in ANSYS 18 – enabling organizations to simulate more upfront, limit costly late-stage design changes, and bring their innovative products to market faster and easier.

The Mentor, a Siemens business, is pleased to announce the availability of Simcenter Flotherm XT 2020.2 - CAD Centric electronics cooling software and sister product to Simcenter Flotherm. This release added new functionalities that continue to support the creation of a thermal digital twin of an electronics product during development and also enhance productivity and workflow.

This volume is a collection chapters, offering a comprehensive overview of recent developments in the field of digital industry technologies and the future landscape of television. This publication aims to provide a thorough overview of the latest research efforts by international authors on digital industry technologies and opens new potentials for further developments.

This volume is dedicated to adaptive control - a modern approach to controlling systems with large parametric uncertainties, enabling performance to reach new heights. The book showcases the latest advances in the theory and application of adaptive control, contributed by leading researchers in the field.

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. introduced a new version of the Incisive functional verification platform, once again setting a new standard for overall verification performance and productivity. Addressing both intellectual property (IP) block-to-chip and system-on-chip (SoC) verification challenges, the Incisive 13.2 platform offers orders of magnitude faster performance with two new engines and additional automation features to speed SoC verification closure.

Actress, real name Darren Jordan Cunningham, known to friends as DAZ, returns with a new album, now on Ninja Tune and a new music system called "AZD" (pronounced "Azid"), a chrome aspect journey into a parallel world. An artist who has always preferred to make music than to talk about it, in "AZD" he has achieved another remarkable landmark, one which is as resistant to interpretation as it is demanding of it. Following on from his previous albums, R.I.P, Splazsh and Hazyville, an epilogue poem attached to the press release for Ghettoville was construed by media, commentators and spectators that Cunningham had retired. This led him to conceptualise this mass of conclusion as the key to "Giving power back to identity".

Microelectronic Test Structures for CMOS Technology and Products addresses the basic concepts of the design of test structures for incorporation within test-vehicles, scribe-lines, and CMOS products. The role of test structures in the development and monitoring of CMOS technologies and products has become ever more important with the increased cost and complexity of development and manufacturing. In this timely volume, IBM scientists Manjul Bhushan and Mark Ketchen emphasize high speed characterization techniques for digital CMOS circuit applications and bridging between circuit performance and characteristics of MOSFETs and other circuit elements. Detailed examples are presented throughout, many of which are equally applicable to other microelectronic technologies as well. The authors’ overarching goal is to provide students and technology practitioners alike a practical guide to the disciplined design and use of test structures that give unambiguous information on the parametrics and performance of digital CMOS technology.

Arduinos are mini computers on a circuit board designed primarily for controlling electronic circuits. They have analog and digital inputs and outputs that allow them to input data and turn things on and off.
