The Internet of Things is considered to be the next big opportunity, and challenge, for the
Internet engineering community, users of technology, companies and society as a whole. It
involves connecting embedded devices such as sensors, home appliances, weather stations
and even toys to Internet Protocol (IP) based networks. The number of IP-enabled embedded
devices is increasing rapidly, and although hard to estimate, will surely outnumber the
number of personal computers (pcs) and servers in the future. With the advances made over
the past decade in microcontroller,low-power radio, battery and microelectronic technology,
the trend in the industry is for smart embedded devices (called smart objects) to become
IP-enabled, and an integral part of the latest services on the Internet. These services are no
longer cyber, just including data created by humans, but are to become very connected to the
physical world around us by including sensor data, the monitoring and control of machines,
and other kinds of physical context. We call this latest frontier of the Internet, consisting of
wireless low-power embedded devices, the Wireless Embedded Internet. Applications that
this new frontier of the Internet enable are critical to the sustainability, efficiency and safety
of society and include home and building automation, healthcare, energy efficiency, smart
grids and environmental monitoring to name just a few.
Mobile communication devices like smart phones or tablet pcs enable us to
consume information at every location and at every time. The rapid development
of new applications and new services and the demand to access data in real time
create an increasing throughput demand. The data have to be transmitted reliably
to ensure the desired quality of service. Furthermore, an improved utilization of
the bandwidth is desired to reduce the cost of transmission.
Smartphones have become a key element in providing greater user access to the
mobile Internet. Many complex applications which used to be limited to pcs, have
been developed and operated on smartphones. These applications extend the
functionalities of smartphones, making them more convenient for users to be
connected. However, they also greatly increase the power consumption of
smartphones, making users frustrated with long delays in Web browsing.
Introduction The Sil9135/Sil9135A HDMI Receiver with Enhanced Audio and Deep Color Outputs is a second-generation dual-input High Definition Multimedia Interface(HDMI)receiver. It is software-compatible with the Sil9133receiver, but adds audio support for DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD. Digital televisions that can display 10-or 12-bit color depth can now provide the highest quality protected digital audio and video over a single cable. The Sil9135and Sil9135A devices, which are functionally identical, can receive Deep Color video up to 12-bit,1080p @60Hz. Backward compatibility with the DVI 1.0specification allows HDMI systems to connect to existing DVI 1.0 hosts, such as HD set-top boxes and pcs. Silicon Image HDMI receivers use the latest generation Transition Minimized Differential Signaling(TMDS) core technology that runs at 25-225 MHz.The chip comes pre-programmed with High-bandwidth?
