Power efficiency in the design of wireless systems and power supplies will be the focus of the Electronics Weekly Live Design Conference which is taking place at National Electronics Week in Earls Court 2, London on Wednesday June 17th.
Xilinx and Lattice Semiconductor present design techniques for improving power efficiency of FPGAs.
Vicor describes the evolution of power supply architectures and defines the concept of the factorised power architecture.
A presentation from Fairchild Semiconductor will explore efficiency challenges in DC-DC converter design.
National Semiconductor will discuss the application of dynamic and adaptive voltage scaling techniques to both fixed and variable frequency processing systems in mobile handsets as well as fixed data- and telecom systems.
Freescale Semiconductor will describe the power requirements of what it terms “Ultra Portable Systems”.
Envirowise, the government-backed programme promoting sustainable design, will present a paper proposing that eco-design can be cost-effective.
Finally, Peter Hutton, v-p technology and systems at ARM will explain why “Every Joule is Sacred” in embedded systems design.
