The uIP implementation is designed to have only the absolute minimal set of features needed for a full TCP/IP stack. It can only handle a single network interface and contains only a rudimentary UDP implementation, but focuses on the IP, ICMP and TCP protocols. uIP is written in the C programming language.
This book provides the reader with the basics in radio engineering,
the techniques needed to generate, control, detect, and use radio waves. The
text approaches the relevant problems both from the electromagnetic theory
based on Maxwell抯 equations and from the circuit theory based on Kirchoff
and Ohm抯 laws. Brief introductions to the electromagnetic theory as well
as to the circuit theory are provided. Besides passive transmission lines and
components, active RF circuits are also addressed.
Precision 16-bit analog outputs with softwareconfigurableoutput ranges are often needed in industrialprocess control equipment, analytical and scientificinstruments and automatic test equipment. In the past,designing a universal output module was a daunting taskand the cost and PCB real estate associated with thisfunction were problematic, if not prohibitive.
Most circuit designers are familiar with diode dynamiccharacteristics such as charge storage, voltage dependentcapacitance and reverse recovery time. Less commonlyacknowledged and manufacturer specifi ed is diode forwardturn-on time. This parameter describes the timerequired for a diode to turn on and clamp at its forwardvoltage drop. Historically, this extremely short time, unitsof nanoseconds, has been so small that user and vendoralike have essentially ignored it. It is rarely discussed andalmost never specifi ed. Recently, switching regulator clockrate and transition time have become faster, making diodeturn-on time a critical issue. Increased clock rates aremandated to achieve smaller magnetics size; decreasedtransition times somewhat aid overall effi ciency but areprincipally needed to minimize IC heat rise. At clock speedsbeyond about 1MHz, transition time losses are the primarysource of die heating.
