How to dim CFLs
Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) are replacing incandescent light bulbs at a rapid rate due to their tremendous energy savings and longer lifetime. Additional energy savings can be achieved by dimming, but the electronic ballast required to control the lamp has a higher cost and is difficult to design. This article explains how a CFL works, how to dim them, and describes a solution for 3-way dimming applications.

New transmission mechanisms for MOST enable powerful video applications
The MOST infotainment network was originally launched with a bandwidth of 25 Mbps, a bandwidth that was more than adequate for audio applications. The latest generation, MOST150, has a capacity of 150 Mbps, and is designed to serve powerful video and packet data applications in your car, as well as classic audio applications. Besides the higher bandwidth, MOST150 introduces additional transmission mechanisms such as isochronous data transfer over the synchronous network.
