Calxeda Isn’t Dead Yet

Remember Calxeda? The chipmaker that was going to do super power-efficient server chips based on ARM? Well, that company went under a year ago, but their technology, and some of their personnel, have resurfaced under a new name: Silver Lining Systems.

The new company’s website is barely more than a placeholder, but it does credit Calxeda with developing its technology. It also mentions Foxconn prominently, the Chinese contract manufacturer. The Foxconn afiliation suggests that either it or Silver Lining will be making full server systems, not just chips.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
