Actel Power Management [14 min]
Join Mike Brogley of Actel Corporation for an eeTECHbrief overview of Actel’s Mixed-Signal Power Manager (MPM) using the Fusion mixed-signal flash-based FPGA. Mike covers the concepts of power management, MPM features, the interactive MPM graphical user interface used to configure the Fusion device without reprogramming the Fusion mixed-signal FPGA circuitry, and the capabilities of MPM on the Fusion Advanced Development Kit hardware. If you need power management, power-up and power-down sequencing, or power trimming and data logging, learn about the flexible reprogrammable low power FPGA-based MPM solution today.

Real Time Ethernet Synchronization Using the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) [13 min]
The IEEE 1588 precision time protocol (PTP) allows designers to synchronize slave clocks to a master clock over Ethernet. By using the same time base for all events and timestamps, networked devices can be synchronized with exceptional precision. The DP83640 Precision PHYTER® device from National Semiconductor delivers the highest level of precision clock synchronization for real time industrial connectivity based on the IEEE 1588 standard.
View this brief Webcast to learn more about the following design topics:
• What is the IEEE 1588 PTP and how does it synchronize a network?
• Network topology, time adjustments and rate correction
• Adding PTP synchronization to a system
• Implementation options and considerations
• DP83640 precision PHYTER features and benefits
By attending this event, you’ll learn how the 1588 PTP fits into the Ethernet standard and how you can achieve new levels of precision in your next application without increasing development or total system costs. -
High Frequency Crystal Oscillator Replacement - Higher Performance, Lower Total Cost Solution [08 min]
Clock generation requirements for applications such as routers, servers, networking switches, and line cards continue to demand increased frequency, better signal purity and higher component reliability. Systems are getting more complex with additional new features requiring many different frequencies. Traditionally clock generation for markets such as High Definition Video (HDV) processing, high-end computing, networking / telecom, automatic test equipment and industrial applications have been primarily serviced by 3rd overtone or SAW based crystal oscillators. These technologies have physical limitations making them time consuming, difficult and costly to manufacture for frequencies above 50 MHz.
This presentation will compare and contrast traditional 3rd overtone or SAW based crystal oscillator solutions with PLL base crystal oscillator modules as an alternative solution for clock generation implementations suitable for frequencies above 50 MHz. -
