Microchip has just rolled out BodyCom, a new way to do wireless nwtworking using your own body as the antenna. This is a body-area network, meaning it connects things you’re wearing — or at least, touching. That makes it useful for sensors and displays, for example, but not for beaming music to a remote speaker. Microschip’s got all the documentation, software, and development kits here. http://www.microchip.com/pagehandler/en-us/technology/embeddedsecurity/technology/bodycom.html.
 A game-changer for IP designers: design-stage verificationSponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software In this new technical paper, you’ll gain valuable insights into how, by moving physical verification earlier in the IP design flow, you can locate and correct design errors sooner, reducing costs and getting complex designs to market faster. Dive into the challenges of hard, soft and custom IP creation, and learn how to run targeted, real-time or on-demand physical verification with precision, earlier in the layout process. |
