Dynamic Memory Allocation and Fragmentation in C and C++ In C and C++, it can be very convenient to allocate and de-allocate blocks of memory as and when needed. This is certainly standard practice in both languages and almost unavoidable in C++. However, the handling of such dynamic memory can be problematic and inefficient. For desktop applications, where memory is freely available, these difficulties can be ignored. For embedded - generally real time - applications, ignoring the issues is not an option. |

A Review Paper on CMOS, SOI and FinFET Technology In 1958, the first integrated circuit flip-flop was built using two transistors at Texas Instruments. The chips of today contain more than 1 billion transistors. The memory that could once support an entire company’s accounting system is now what a teenager carries in his smartphone. This scale of growth has resulted from a continuous scaling of transistors and other improvements in the Silicon manufacturing process. |

Introduction to Low Dropout (LDO) Linear Voltage Regulators Linear voltage regulators are key components in any power-management system that requires a stable and ripple-free power supply. A subset of linear voltage regulators is a class of circuits known as low dropout (LDO) regulators. This paper explains the fundamentals of LDOs and introduces Vidatronic’s LDO technology which solves many of the known shortcomings of LDO circuits. |

Method for Booting ARM Based Multi-Core SoCs In the boot process various modules/peripherals (like clock controller or security handing module and other master/slaves) initialized as per the SoC architecture and customer applications. In Multi core SoCs, first primary core (also called booting core) start up in boot process and then secondary cores are enabled by software. |

How to achieve low latency audio/video streaming over IP network? This whitepaper will first define the latency for audio/video transport. It will highlight the usual architecture challenges of an AV over IP transmitter/receiver. A deeper analysis is provided regarding the video compression which is often mistakenly considered as adding too much latency. Eventually, actual latency measurements of the Viper 4K HDMI to IP transmitter/receiver will be presented. |

Understanding - and Reducing - Latency in Video Compression Systems In the video world, latency is the amount of time between the instant a frame is captured and the instant that frame is displayed. Low latency is a design goal for any system where there is real-time interaction with the video content, such as video conferencing or drone piloting. |

Easier UVM Sequences - SystemVerilog UVM Sequence and Task Equivalence SystemVerilog UVM sequences are a powerful way to model stimulus and response for functional verification. Unfortunately using SystemVerilog UVM sequences can require an extensive background in SystemVerilog, the UVM and object oriented programming. This paper explains a collection of techniques to allow the power of sequences with familiarity and simplicity of calling tasks. |

H.264 High Profile: Codec for Broadcast & Professional Video Application High definition video content is becoming rampant as more and more countries are now transitioning into digital life. The ways to deliverHigh definition content in a bandwidth limited channel have become challenge in itself. To cater to such highly demanding broadcast & professional video markets, we require a compression / decompression standard that allows no compromise on the quality of the video that has to be broadcasted over a bandwidth constrained networks. |
