Qualcomm was founded in 1985 in San Diego, California by a group of scientists and engineers including Dr. Irwin Jacobs. Over the following decades, Qualcomm developed code division multiple access (CDMA) wireless technology and became a leading provider of semiconductor chips for mobile phones. By pursuing strategic alliances and convincing standard-setting bodies and carriers to adopt CDMA, Qualcomm was able to achieve significant growth and become a major player in the wireless industry.
A dual core processor contains two separate processing units called cores contained within a single integrated circuit chip. Each core has its own cache and controller, allowing it to function similarly to an individual processor. By having two cores, dual core processors can perform some tasks twice as fast as a single core processor. Examples of dual core CPUs include the Intel Core Duo, AMD X2, and PowerPC G5. While dual core processors are faster than single core, software must be designed to take advantage of both cores for maximum performance gains.
Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory, officially abbreviated as DDR SDRAM, is a double data rate (DDR) synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) class of memory integrated circuits used in computers. DDR SDRAM, also retroactively called DDR1 SDRAM, has been superseded by DDR2 SDRAM, DDR3 SDRAM, and DDR4 SDRAM, and soon will be superseded by DDR5 SDRAM. None of its successors are forward or backward compatible with DDR1 SDRAM, meaning DDR2, DDR3, DDR4 and DDR5 memory modules will not work in DDR1-equipped motherboards, and vice versa.
Compared to single data rate (SDR) SDRAM, the DDR SDRAM interface makes higher transfer rates possible by more strict control of the timing of the electrical data and clock signals. Implementations often have to use schemes such as phase-locked loops and self-calibration to reach the required timing accuracy.[4][5] The interface uses double pumping (transferring data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal) to double data bus bandwidth without a corresponding increase in clock frequency. One advantage of keeping the clock frequency down is that it reduces the signal integrity requirements on the circuit board connecting the memory to the controller. The name "double data rate" refers to the fact that a DDR SDRAM with a certain clock frequency achieves nearly twice the bandwidth of a SDR SDRAM running at the same clock frequency, due to this double pumping.
Monitors have evolved from CRT to LCD technologies. CRT remains popular due to vivid colors and lower cost, though LCD is becoming more common. Monitor specifications include size, resolution measured in pixels, refresh rate, and dot pitch affecting image quality. Resolution and dot pitch impact sharpness, with higher resolution and smaller dot pitch providing clearer images. Standards like VGA and SVGA increased capabilities over time, with SVGA providing higher resolutions and more colors than VGA.
Flash memory is a type of non-volatile computer storage that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed. It was invented in 1980 by Dr. Fujio Masuoka and is commonly used in USB drives, memory cards, and solid state drives. The presentation discusses the history of flash memory, its uses, types including mobile device memory, compact flash, and USB drives, as well as new developments and the future of the technology.
2019 Local I/O ESD protection for 28Gbps to 112Gbps SerDes interfaces in adva...Sofics
2019 Taiwan ESD and reliability conference
Semiconductor companies are developing ever faster wireless, wired and optical interfaces to satisfy the need for higher data throughputs. They rely on BiCMOS, advanced CMOS and FinFET nodes with ESD-sensitive circuits. However, the parasitic capacitance of the traditional ESD solutions limits the signal frequency. This paper demonstrates small area and low-cap Analog I/Os used in TSMC 28nm CMOS and TSMC 16nm, 12nm, 7nm FinFET technologies for high speed SerDes (28Gbps to 112Gbps) circuits. Parasitic capacitance of the ESD solutions is reduced below 100fF and for some silicon photonics applications even below 20fF.
This document provides an overview of the ATmega16/32 microcontroller, including its ports, pin descriptions, and how to write and burn code using AVR Studio and AVR OSP-2 or SINA PROG 2.1 programmers. It also demonstrates some common interfaces like LED blinking, LCD display, pulse width modulation, analog to digital conversion, and a keypad. Serial communication using USART is also explained with code examples provided.

DDR3 SDRAM
Source: Wikipedia
Double Data Rate 3 Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory, officially abbreviated as DDR3 SDRAM, is a type of synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) with a high bandwidth ("double data rate") interface, and has been in use since 2007. It is the higher-speed successor to DDR and DDR2 and predecessor to DDR4 synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) chips. DDR3 SDRAM is neither forward nor backward compatible with any earlier type of random-access memory (RAM) because of different signaling voltages, timings, and other factors.

Presentation to Ofcom - UK Spectrum ManagementJulian McGougan
The document discusses whether spectrum is truly scarce and argues that while aggregate supply may exceed demand, availability is constrained where users need it most. It notes artificial constraints on the spectrum market like few Ofcom auctions and a lack of trading. The document advocates for policies like publishing licence data, reducing barriers to trades, addressing price signals, and introducing band managers to help release underutilized public sector spectrum and satisfy demand. It predicts trends like more litigation and appeals around licence terms and trades, and debates whether Ofcom should focus on long or short-term licensing to optimize spectrum use.
Curso: Redes y telecomunicaciones: 11 Conceptos de última milla y línea dedicadaJack Daniel Cáceres Meza
This document discusses concepts of the last mile and dedicated line in the context of Telco 1.0. It defines the last mile as the connection between a customer's premises and the telephone exchange. It describes how copper wires connect customers to primary connection points and exchanges. Dedicated lines are high-speed digital connections that provide exclusive bandwidth between locations for a customer's use without limits. The document contrasts Telco 1.0, based on access services, with Telco 2.0 which is based on added value services. It provides diagrams illustrating last mile connections and a Telco management map.
Standards play an important role in technology and impact economic outcomes in several ways. Open standards typically lead to more competitive markets, lower prices for consumers, better quality, and faster innovation. Standards can enable network effects that benefit both producers and consumers. The nature of standardization influences industry structure, growth rates, and the diversity of innovators in both upstream and downstream markets. Overall, evidence shows that standards lower prices and improve quality, especially when standards are not fragmented across regions or technologies.

First presented - June 2009
The document discusses the rise of total mobility and predictions about the future of wireless communications. It covers:
- The background of the Spectrum Policy Forum and its goals of advising the government on spectrum management.
- How wireless technologies have progressed rapidly from early mobile phones to smartphones and the rise of the internet of things.
- A prediction from 12 years ago that by 2010 people would be carrying small devices replacing laptops and using extensive network services, which largely came true.
- The move towards "total mobility" where any service accessed through wired networks will eventually have a wireless final connection.
- A vision that in 10 years, the terms "fixed" and "mobile" will be obsolete as
Videotex was an early attempt at providing information services to consumers through television sets connected to telephone networks. Prestel was the UK's videotex service, launched in 1979 with high expectations of millions of subscribers but it only reached around 100k users. Minitel in France was far more successful, reaching tens of millions of users due to free terminals being provided and a wide range of private services. Differences in adoption between countries can be partly explained by differences in terminal design and provision, systems architecture, billing methods, and political/regulatory support. The rise of the World Wide Web in the 1990s drew users away from videotex services.
1) The document discusses trends in electronic communications including convergence of industries, the role of platforms, and implications for market structure and regulation.
2) Convergence is pushing formerly separate industries like telecoms, computing and broadcasting to provide similar services through digital technologies and IP networks. This disrupts traditional value chains and business models.
3) Platforms are increasingly important intermediaries, and their pricing structures and market power have regulatory implications. Bundles of services are also gaining importance but create strategic barriers.
4) Issues around market definition, access, and investment in new infrastructure like ultra-fast broadband networks are ongoing areas of focus for regulators as technologies continue to converge.

The economic Industrial Organization theory suggests that it is very important for firms in network technology markets to gain a sufficient market share for products and technology platforms.
Strategically, it is then essential for firms to be among the first to enter new network markets and to obtain a critical market share. Otherwise they may be forced to switch to the competing technology or exit the markets altogether.
