Check out these two In-Depth features recently added to the site, covering noise performance and open-source hardware.Characterising noise in high-performance voltage-reference ICs
Voltage-reference stability and noise frequently define the measurement limits of instrumentation systems. In particular, reference noise often sets stable resolution limits. Reference voltages have decreased with the continuing drop in system power-supply voltages, making reference noise increasingly important.

Making the most of open-source hardware
Many designers are familiar with open-source software, such as Linux, in which the source code is available to all. However, fewer are familiar with organizations offering open-source hardware. These organizations release free information, including schematics, BOM (bill-of-materials) information, and PCB (printed-circuit-board)-layout data, covering the overall hardware design.

Don't forget, with the new site redesign, In-Depth articles on any navigation / subject area are easily available. Just see the Tabbed Contaoner on the right, via the 'In Depth' tab. For example, see Production.Manufacturing. Not forgetting the 'Analysis' and 'Comment' tabs, too, for the relevant types of article within that same subject domain.
