Engineering Notes

• On-Screen Display (OSC) Comparison - This is a brief comparison of ICs to perform OSD for a video (NTSC) signal.

• Software Button Debouncing and Ergonomics - Debouncing button presses is a common element in embedded devices. Although it is a relatively easy problem to solve, there are many different issues and solutions. This white paper discusses button ergonomics, the goals of button debouncing, and debouncing algorithms.

• How to Develop a Specification for Adding USB to Your Product - USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a high speed bus for connecting peripheral devices to a host computer. Common USB devices are mice, keyboards, disks, printers, scanners, camcorders, digital cameras, scientific instrumentation and data acquisition equipment.

• Java and C/C++ JNI Application Debugging - The GUI Way - Details the procedures required to accomplish concurrent debugging of a Java application that calls native C language code in a shared library via the JNI.
