In the grand scheme of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous implementation, replacing a driver requires many hardware and software considerations, not only in sensing technology and processing, but also in electromechanical systems to steer and brake the vehicle. The ADAS trend is leading to newer...

Developing embedded solutions can be a journey. Not all applications start at the same place in the journey or take the same development path, but a common theme applies to the steps involved.
This e-book will walk the reader through this journey and touch on key considerations throughout development.

New-system electrical and mechanical design portions have historically been separate endeavors employing different CAD tools. Schematics and electrical components were separate from mechanical components, with physical interactions between the two decoupled.
But CAD tool advancement bridges the two aspects into one...

Learn how optically - isolated relays can improve the performance of data acquisition systems and industrial machines.
However, solid-state devices are not created equal when it comes to these performance advantages. Optically-isolated solid state relays, in particular, can outshine other solid-state devices...
It is important to confirm the AC voltage, frequency, and phase when selecting a power supply as these differ from region to region. If more than the specified level of voltage is applied, the power supply can be damaged. If the input voltage has a distorted wave, the unit will either not operate normally or will suffer...
The output signal of an oscillator, no matter how good it is, will contain all kinds of unwanted noises and signals. Some of these unwanted signals are spurious output frequencies, harmonics and sub-harmonics, to name a few.
The noise part can have a random and/or deterministic noise in both the amplitude and phase...
Designers building power inductors for today’s highly volume mobile markets face a difficult dilemma. On the one hand the market demands higher performance systems with additional functionality running at higher current levels. On the other hand it pressures product designers to squeeze that additional functionality...
Safety is paramount wherever power supplies are used, but nowhere more so than in medical applications where even small parasitic leakage currents may compromise safety. First published in 1977, the internationally accepted IEC 606011 standard has been continuously developed to help alleviate safety issues relating to...
Temperature measurement, current monitoring, power supply sequencing, fan control and fault logging are typical board control functions used in complex circuit designs. System designers are faced with continual pressure to meet their development schedules, and need to implement control functions with minimal effort and...
Many moderate size Programmable Logic Device (PLD) designs, especially those in control plane applications, consist of a number of interfaces interconnected via an onchip bus to a microprocessor that may be on- or off-chip. Although each interface is often relatively simple, the task of building all the on-chip interconnections...
