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...

Brakes are some of the most crucial safety components in automobiles. Used to slow a vehicle’s momentum before parking and avoid collisions and accidents, braking systems have undergone rapid development throughout the years. Automobile brakes have evolved from the mechanical drum brakes of the early 19th century...

Medical device designers have become increasingly interested in the Linux ® operating system (OS), largely because of its open source model. Linux lets the designer leverage a large pool of developers, a rich legacy of source code, and industry-standard POSIX APIs.
But Linux may not be the right choice for all...
Designers are implementing a wide variety of interface bridging solutions that allow them to transfer data across protocols and, in the process, expand system functionality. The challenge is determining how to most efficiently implement these new bridging solutions without violating system power, footprint and cost requirements....
As more strict government regulations regarding power consumption appear, even traditional home and office appliances like LCD TVs, set top boxes (STBs) and multifunction printers (MFPs) are being scrutinized for ways to save power. To help ensure products are in compliance with the latest EnergyStar and European Commission...
Battery life is getting increased scrutiny as our devices continue to shrink but are still expected to deliver more functionality and performance than ever before. Effectively extending battery life in future devices will require mastery of low quiescent current. This paper examines the role of low quiescent current in...
To ensure the stability of voltage regulators and switchedmode power supplies, the control loop behavior must be measured and characterized. A well compensating voltage controller enables stable output voltages and reduces the influence of load changes and supply voltage variations. The quality of this control circuit...
Deembedding, often a necessary and complex task, is made easier with an integrated hardware and software solution. Whether you are debugging a high-speed interface such as DDR or PCIe, characterising a fast clock or analysing a complex RF signal, you want to see the real signal and not artifacts of the test setup such...
Advanced modeling techniques centric to motor and power stage dynamics can yield significant gains in motor control efficiency, assuring precise control that adapts to fluctuations in system behavior in real time.
Through the application of sensorless vector control, designers can enhance the performance and lower...
A customer of Hitex was in the acquisition phase of a new project: the development of a Battery Management System (BMS). The main focus was a high voltage battery management system for a road vehicle.
The customer needed a suitable controller, and required help in terms of functional safety and security and overall...

Vector Network Analysers (VNA) are gaining popularity in the Signal Integrity community as Time Domain Measurement and Analysis tools.
VNAs with 8 ports or more can provide significant decreases in test time by migrating from a 4-port measurement system to an 8-port measurement system. For tight tolerance DUTs...
This webinar is intended for engineers who work on high-speed digital design and test. In particular, we will be focusing at USB interfaces.
After a quick introduction into USB technology we will be discussing the details of USB 2.0 and 3.2 compliance testing. The webinar will enable you to learn common signal integrity...
