Features
Fast
SRAM and MCUs improve data
protection
Kevin Self of Dallas Semiconductor explains how data encryption can
be used with a combination of fast SRAM and secure microcontrollers
to provide improved system security.
An
alternative approach to implementing
DSPs
Dan Pugh of Leopard Logic describes a technology which takes the best
aspects of general purpose DSPs, FPGAs and ASICs to provide a
solution to efficiently implement DSP algorithms.
Embedding
TCP/IP with minimum memory
Chris Stephens of Computer Solutions describes how the memory
footprint of a TCP/IP stack has been reduced to provide a range of
solutions to solve 8 and 16bit MCU-based communications problems.
