[Electronic Design UPDATE] Electronic Design Update: October 31, 2007
Machine-to-machine (m2m) communications technologies have been around for many years and stuck at the bottom of the growth curve. But their fortunes are about to change. As cellular-based mobile solutions meet the rapidly growing data connection needs for greater speed, cost savings, and accuracy, the growth potential of key m2m markets will rapidly grow as well.

Historically, wireload models have been inadequate for accurate modeling of wire delays. Furthermore, the inaccuracy worsens with each new process generation. Logic designers see one timing representation of their design, and physical designers see something entirely different...

[Electronic Design UPDATE] Electronic Design Update: August 22, 2007
I've been writing about WiMAX and the 3G/4G technologies lately, and every now and then I see references to the competing IEEE 802.20 standard. The IEEE established the 802.20 wireless mobile broadband group in 2002. Work began, and progress was made. But whatever happened to it? Now I know, so I can tell you all about it.

Measuring less than 50 atoms wide and one atom thick, Andre Geim's graphene transistor may represent the best hope yet for delaying the expiration of Moore's Law. Geim and fellow University of Manchester professor Kostya Novoselov have discovered a new material class: a two-dimensional crystal, representing a single sheet of atoms. The material, graphene, is a gauze of carbon atoms that has become one of the hottest areas in physics research...
