Specific features of ENFORA GSM/GPRS modules
Today in the Russian market you can find modems and modules from leading world manufacturers (Siemens, Wavecom/SE, Enfora, Motorola, Nokia, Simcom, etc.) with various technical parameters and prices.
The main technical characteristics of modules from leading world manufacturers differ little from each other in the class of the same name. The main competition is in the field of service functions, reliability, size, energy consumption.
Enfora uses the latest developments in Texas Instruments in its products. An example of this is the smallest and most economical Enfora GSM0308 module. A distinctive feature of the software is built-in blocks that allow using AT commands to solve applied problems without an external microcontroller and writing special complex control programs. | 36 |

CC2480 - new ZigBee processor from Texas Instruments
The adoption of the new specification ZigBee-2007 (ZigBee Pro), which is focused on the use of ZigBee in industrial applications, makes it possible to build truly reliable ZigBee networks. In parallel with the emergence of a new standard supported by all key vendors, alternative simplified network protocols based on the 802.15.4 standard have appeared on the market. These protocols are intended for those applications where the full-fledged implementation of the ZigBee standard is not optimal for a number of reasons. This article discusses Texas Instruments' proposal to dramatically reduce development time and time-to-market with the new CC2480 chip. | 62 |

Sound chips from Aplus
At the moment, a lot of electronic devices use not only visual indication of their work, but also voice. Sound commands given by the device often make it easier to operate and generate additional consumer interest. Today, the choice of sound microcircuits on the electronic components market is quite limited. That is why we would like to present you a new manufacturer for the majority of developers - the Aplus company. Its products have a number of advantages over their well-known counterparts: ease of use, high functionality, reliability in operation at a fairly low cost ... | 81 |

Practical course of end-to-end design of digital devices based on FPGAs from Xilinx. Part 15
In the next part of the course, the process of performing the implementation stage of a device under development based on crystals with CPLD architecture is described. A brief description of the structure of reports on the execution of the placement and tracing stage, as well as the results of static time analysis is given. The parameters and implementation of the stage of complete (temporary) modeling of the designed device are considered. The necessary information on creating a configuration sequence for the developed project and programming FPGAs of CPLD families using the iMPACT module of the Xilinx ISE series CAD package is given. | 88 |

Depletion channel MOSFETs. Application issues
Since about the mid-70s of the last century, the prospects that MOS transistors have opened have forced scientists to work tirelessly. As a result, enriched gate MOSFETs (MOSFETs) have become widespread. Today, it is difficult to find a device that does not use these inexpensive semiconductor devices with excellent performance. To list all the features of these transistors in the article is a thankless task, we will limit ourselves to mentioning such important advantages as a very high input resistance and a clearly expressed dependence of the output current on the voltage at the control input. | 100 |
