Agile Analog announces IR Drop Sensor IP

At DAC on booth 2340

July 11, 2022

Cambridge, UK 11, July, 2022. Agile Analog™, the analog IP innovators, has designed an IR Drop Sensor for its growing library of analog IP. This is an important safety feature for designers as it monitors for voltage drops when current flows through a resistor, which is called IR drop and can affect the timing of a chip and could result in functional failures if this happens in a critical part of the design.

Adding to the complexity of IR drops, they can be influenced by activity on other areas of the chip so including our agileIR DROP into a … Read More → "Agile Analog announces IR Drop Sensor IP"

Radiation for Responsible Recycling: A Distributed, Microwave-Based Method to Recycle Batteries

Researchers propose an efficient new distributed recycling system that uses microwave heating for recycling old alkaline batteries.

July 7, 2022

With the global increase in production and consumption, more and more waste is being generated today. This calls for effective recycling techniques to achieve a circular economy. Distributed recycling systems offer cost- and energy-efficient alternatives to the conventional centralized recycling process. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a distributed recycling system that employs microwave-based heating for recycling old alkaline batteries. This process offers an efficient and cost-effective alternative for recycling e-waste at the local level.

The global culture of mass production and consumption has resulted in a monumental increase in the amount of … Read More →
