ARLINGTON, VA – The Electronic Components, Assemblies & Materials Association (ECA) presented awards at CARTS USA 2006, held April 3-6 in FL, for the best technical papers from the 2005 conference. The awards are based on a vote of conference attendees.
 
Steve Weir, Steve Weir Design & Teraspeed Consulting Group, received the John D. Moynihan Award for best paper. "Considerations for Capacitor Selection in FPGA Designs" explores the advantages of low-inductance capacitors.
