Water is usually something you’d want to keep away from electronic circuits, but engineers in Germany have now developed a new concept for water-based switches that are much faster than current ...

HUBER+SUHNER’s POLATIS iSeries 7000 software-defined optical circuit switch platform has a architecture designed for volume manufacture with scalability from 8×8 up to 576×576 non-blocking fibre ports ...

Switching has almost always meant “hard" switching, which is simple but comes with all kinds of electrical and thermal ...

Integrated circuit technologies are enabling intelligent, chip-based, optical packet switch matrices. Rapid real-time re-configurability at the photonic layer using integrated circuit technologies is ...

The first-generation integrator-hysteresis-switch FGs were replaced by a second-generation design scheme using current sources. The integrator-based FG loop can be improved by driving the integrating ...

Function generators (FGs) are measurement instruments in the category of waveform sources. They grew out of both a need for a versatile source of multiple waveshapes and from some interesting analog ...

Circuits as WAN connections battled successfully against packets for years because they guaranteed bandwidth, no matter what. If you bought a T-1 circuit, the service provider nailed up 1.5Mbps from ...

This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently ...
