This provides maximum flexibility and the possibility to reuse software. Any audio output signal must then be converted to the analog domain and amplified to drive the loudspeakers. This circuit, PowerDac, can be integrated into a multimedia IC and, when implemented in a high-voltage IC process, be used in conventional audio systems requiring high output power. The Sugarcube project aims at integrating these circuits and the accompanying passive components into one sugarcube-sized transceiver using new IC technologies. The performance of the handset is further improved by the introduction of adaptive circuits based on research into radio channel characterization and small antennas.
Young kids have their pagers, teens their phones and scientists their lap-tops.
Everywhere people are searching for wall plugs to recharge their exhausted phone batteries or to extend the operating time of their lap-tops. This insatiable hunger for energy can be alleviated by incorporating energy management in the design process of integrated circuits leading to up to a factor of ten, or even more, in energy saving.
