Why USB 2.0 still earns its place in modern designs
USB 2.0 may not dominate the headline specs anymore, but that does not make it obsolete. For many embedded, industrial, and cost-sensitive designs, it still offers the bandwidth, ecosystem maturity, and implementation simplicity needed to move data reliably without the added routing, compliance, and system overhead that come with higher-speed interfaces.

Understanding memory card connectors
When it comes to reliable and efficient data storage, the physical interface matters as much as the memory card itself. Designers at all levels need to understand how various card types — from the ubiquitous SD to embedded SIMs and smart cards — actually connect to and communicate with devices. The Same Sky blog post, […]
