Our EExperts by Category:

Components

Microprocessor and Microcontroller Architectures - David Gilbert
RISC versus CISC, DSP and RISC, VLIW architectures versus RISC—David has opinions on all of them.

Passive/Active Components & Analog Circuits - Anton Kruger
Passives can be tricky. We've all wrestled with capacitor selection at one time or another, for example, so to strengthen your grasp of basic concepts, visit Anton's corner of ChipCenter.

Polymer and Organic Flexible Displays - David Braun
Mechanically flexible displays are rapidly approaching the market. David does the homework for you by scanning the news for background information and recent developments in several key display technologies.

Electromechanical Engineering - Lawrence Kamm (Still available from archives)
If there is one thing electronic engineers loath (and fear), it is moving parts. But we gotta live with them—and Lawrence makes it easier to learn.

Design Tips

Digital/Analog Product Design - Brian Elfman
Brian's pages feature tech tips, a column, recommended links, news and resources. It's a great resource for seasoned EEs as well as novices.

Electronics Design - Hank Wallace
If you have dreams of taking on some part-time work as an independent contractor, or making it in a full-time occupation, Hank's tips will be more than useful.

Electronic Technology - Brian McGinty
Leave your normal hard-core engineering stuff behind and taking a whimsical tour of the engineering mystique with Brian.

Power and Instrumentation Electronics - Dennis Feucht
Dennis covers topics and presents tutorials in power electronics, motion control, alternative energy, and related instrumentation issues, connecting theory and practice for engineering design.

Product Engineering - Darren Ashby
Op amps and other fundamental analog circuits can be challenging for EEs educated in the '80s and '90s so Darren is dedicating his pages to fill that knowledge gap.

Firmware Design - Bill Sprouse
Real-time firmware has several unique characteristics when compared to typical software design. The fact that it is embedded means that, unlike PC or mainframe programs, the firmware is designed to run continuously in one state or another during the entire time that the system is in use.

Wireless - Michael Sciarra (Still available from archives)
Wireless LANS, computer oscilloscopes, transmitter designs and so much more are discussed in Michael's Wireless section.

Analog IC Design - Lien Wee Liang (Still available from archives)
The first of what we hope will be a large number of EE guides from outside the U.S., Lien does his designing in Singapore. Since his designs are all cost-constrained, he's a good guide to practical, low-cost solutions to analog design challenges.

Design Fundamentals - Don Truex (Still available from archives)
It's always a good idea to go back to basics every once in awhile and brush up on the stuff you learned in college but have forgotten. Don has dedicated his pages to this helpful task.

EMI/EMC - Bill Kimmel (Still available from archives)
Bill's claim to fame is the EMI/EMC seminars he gives around the country. He's more than happy to share some of his expertise with us, however, through a Q&A format for his pages.

High Performance Mixed-Signal Design - Jerry Horn (Still available from archives)
Got a question on high-performance mixed-signal design? Jerry may already have answered it so check out his Q&A on the topic. Or, ask Jerry a question yourself.

High Speed Digital Design - Dr. Howard Johnson (Still available from archives)
The author of High-Speed Digital Design: A Handbook of Black Magic, Dr. Johnson frequently conducts technical workshops for digital engineers aroundthe world. He shares his expertise with us through a Q&A format.

Humane Tech
Technology, Society, and the Environment - Lee Goldberg
Citizen Engineer is a forum where people involved with technology can learn about, and discuss, issues involving technology, society, and the environment. This section acts as a clearinghouse for accurate news, practical information, and hard-to-find resources for concerned technical professionals.

The 2nd Shift - Human Factors - Lee Goldberg
Human Factors explores the wild, and often confusing task of being a human in a high-tech world. Lee Goldberg and his team of EE Expert writers cover everything from career development, and balancing one's career and family life, to how to survive the weird dynamics of the corporate world.

Information Warfare - Scott Matthews
Information Warfare consists of those actions intended to protect, exploit, corrupt, deny, or destroy information or information resources in order to achieve a significant advantage, objective, or victory over an adversary.

Systems & Software

Adaptive Automation - Peter Raeth
What's adaptive automation, anyway? Peter covers many topics including technology transition in distributed processing, man/machine interfaces, and signal analysis.

Automotive Electronics - Matt LaDuke
Matt's pages feature articles on car audio systems, environmental stresses on auto electronics, and a primer on vehicle electrical systemsas well as pages of links to reference material.

Code Optimization - David Gilbert and Bill Sprouse
This Code Optimization duo team up to present both practical and theoretical approaches to creating code that really FLIES. These EE Experts show you exactly what your microprocessor demands in order to give you the best possible performance from your code.

Communications Security - John Leiseboer
Data integrity, encryption algorithms, key management and so much more are featured in John's ChipCenter section.

Embedded Engineering - Robert Ashby
Ever wonder what people really mean when the toss around the jargon "Embedded System"? Robert offers some ideas that will help you create more efficient, cost-effective, and smoother running designs.

Intellectual Property - Brian Elfman
A successful engineer-entrepreneur, Brian Elfman probes the increasing importance of IP to engineers in his columns and chooses his topics accordingly.

MIDI and Linux - Gerry Dorman
Gerry is one of the Web's old hands. An early advocate of music on the Internet, he has untold numbers of MIDI files at his fingertips. He's also an avid Linux user and likes to keep us up to date on that OS—from an EE's perspective.

Real-Time Processing - Dr. Barry Henderson
Although Barry will be looking at Real-time Processing using DSPs, FPGAs, and uCs, it will be next to impossible to keep him from discussing motion vector and image recognition software, modern boat radar, and high-speed mixed-signal board design.

Reliability Engineering - Robert Poltz
While all engineering products and processes need to have reliability designed into them to minimize or mitigate failure, the very nature of some products and processes necessitate that reliability engineering in the form of reliability prediction and reliability analysis be integral to the design process at all levels.

Spectral Analysis - Bob Masta (Still available from archives)
Here's an intriguing thought: "All you ever needed to know about Fourier transforms,you learned in high school." Bob sets out to prove it in his series of columns.

Telecommunications - A.T. Sivaram (Still available from archives)
Mr. Sivaram develops IP modules for telecom applications and creates custom solutions for SoC and SONET product applications.

Workstations and IC Design Tools - Earl Reinkensmeyer (Still available from archives)
The OS quandary in EDA, pitfalls in using IP cores, and hardware/software codesign are among the topics Earl addresses from his perspective as president of an engineering consulting firm.

Embedding Mixed-Signal - Walter Morrey (Still available from archives)
Walt's design experience spans over 30 years of working with problems as diverse as high-resolution medical systems, ultrasound scanners, nuclear-radiation-hard guidance, and audio preamps.

Portable Instrumentation - Steve Hendrix (Still available from archives)
By straddling the fence between hardware and software (firmware), you can use two approaches to produce much cleaner firmware. Not only are tricky interactions between different code segments eliminated, but appropriate high-level language declarations can produce crystal-clear, maintainable code.
