Apple's
first-generation iPad: Not great, but not
bad
As I mentioned the other day, I specifically
went online while on vacation to check out
what Apple announced three Wednesdays ago.
In reviewing what I predicted more than
a month back about what the company's tablet
would likely encompass:
• An internally developed ARM CPU,
running the iPhone-based variant of OS X
• Modestly-sized and flash memory-derived
solid-state storage
• 802.11n and Bluetooth wireless connectivity,
with an option for cellular data services,
and
• A netbook-sized and LED-backlit
LCD screen
I'm compelled to conclude, normal humility
aside, that I pretty much nailed the platform

NEC
architects–around mixed-signal roadblocks
Two papers presented
by NEC Electronics at the International
Solid State Circuits Conference this week
illustrate the extent to which mixed-signal
designers are turning to architectural innovation
to go where scaling can no longer take them.
An all-digital phase-locked loop (PLL) breaks
out of the envelope to reach a new power-vs.-noise
operating point. And a 16 Gbit transceiver
design in 90nm CMOS demonstrates that architectural
changes can overcome fundamental timing
limits in decision-feedback l

Samsung
CMOS imager has on-chip processinge
Samsung Electronics
has increased the degree of integration
in CMOS image sensor design for mobile phones
with a system-on-chip sensor with on-chip
signal processing. It has also introduced
a 5Mpixel sensor with an extended depth
of field (EDoF) capability. Samsung's S5K5CA
is a 1/5-inch, 1.4µm, 3Mpixel imager
with its own image signal processor (ISP).
