High-Speed Board Layout Challenges in FPGA/SDI Sub-Systems

Many video systems are implemented with feature-rich FPGA and multi-rate SDI integrated circuits that support high performance professional video transport over long distances. But FPGAs demand high density routing with fine trace width while high-speed analog SDI routing demands impedance matching and signal fidelity. This paper outlines the layout challenges facing hardware engineers and provides recommendations for dealing with these challenges.

Multi-pronged approach reduces carbon dioxide emissions

In order to significantly reduce the CO₂ emission of a car, it is not sufficient to attack at one single point. In contrast, it is necessary to use a combination of more efficient drives, electrification, assistance systems and maximum driver integration. Continental explains its integrated system approach to make engines and vehicles more economical.
