Architectures such as Texas Instruments' Programmable Real-Time Unit Industrial Communications Subsystem (PRU-ICSS) can support industrial Ethernet rates of 1,000Mbps for field devices, especially with the new time Sensitive Networking (TSN) protocol.
Smart sensors are sensors with information processing functions. Dr. Finkbeiner demonstrated the basic structure of smart sensors with an example composed of MEMS accelerometers, MEMS gyroscopes, ASics, and MCUS. "This is what we call a smart sensor, and of course we also run software on this sensor."
STMicroelectronics' first vehicle gauge machine learning solution, SL-AIAID012401V1, consists of the AEKD-AICAR1 evaluation Kit, AIAI plug-in and AutoDevKit Vehicle gauge development board. It can recognize four car states: parking, normal road conditions, rough roads, wheel sidescarding or sudden swerving.
Multiplex applications have some common requirements: there are many channels that need to be monitored. In general, an ADC monitors all channels sequentially; Channel voltages are usually independent of each other; There are strict limitations in terms of system size and power consumption. Because of these requirements, designers face some challenges.
For high-bandwidth applications in large data centers, 5G communications, and space-grade applications such as satellites, there is a huge demand for miniaturized power supplies. Due to the limited on-board space for embedded applications, enterprises need small power supplies with higher power density. Thus, depending on the application, the power density can be understood from different perspectives, but the ultimate goal remains the same, which is to reduce the size and thus increase the power density.
In electric vehicle (EV) charging systems and photovoltaic inverter systems, current sensors measure current by monitoring the voltage drop on the shunt resistor or the magnetic field generated by the current in the conductor. These high-voltage systems use current information to control and monitor power conversion, charging, and discharge.
SiC band Gap (WBG) devices are critical for applications such as automotive and renewable energy today. As our world moves towards using sustainable energy sources (mainly electricity), energy efficiency is more important than ever.
A common question engineers face when designing power supplies for noise-sensitive systems using clocks, data converters or amplifiers for medical applications, test and measurement, and wireless infrastructure is how to improve accuracy and precision while minimizing system noise
As the world moves towards greater use of renewable energy, the storage and conversion of this energy used in everyday homes is being transformed. In this article, we will highlight a presentation by Jacob Mueller, senior technologist in Sandia National Laboratories' Energy Storage Technologies and Systems Division, on the key trends and challenges involved in this transformation, which highlights the role of power electronics and energy storage.
With the introduction of wide band gap devices such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN), power electronics technology has undergone tremendous changes. In fact, the properties of these materials make them particularly suitable for applications that operate at high pressures and high switching frequencies, and can provide better efficiency and heat management than the most advanced silicon-based power devices.
What is the use of ic chips in this article? What is an ic chip? How to judge the quality of ic chip? IC Chip (Integrated Circuit Chip) is an integrated circuit formed by a large number of microelectronic components (transistors, resistors, capacitors, etc.) placed on a plastic base to make a chip. IC chip includes wafer chip and package chip, and the corresponding IC chip production line is composed of wafer production line and package production line.
As new markets and applications continue to emerge, the demand for mobile data has skyrocketed. There is no solution other than deploying more cellular sites at greater density. These factors will directly affect the design of macro base station, small base station and femtobase station products. Now that radios support multi-band operation, power amplifier (PA) design engineers are trying to push the output power of PA to higher limits/levels.
With the increasingly serious problem of energy shortage, how to effectively use energy, improve energy utilization in a more intelligent way, and save energy will be one of the key elements in the application of smart buildings. KNX is an open standard for commercial and residential building automation, and this article will introduce you to the development of KNX standards and applications, as well as related solutions that support KNX technology.
LED lights have been widely used in a variety of lighting environments, and with the upgrading of technology, light efficiency is also gradually improving, showing more and more advantages in practical applications. Nevertheless, in the endless pursuit of efficiency, efficiency is still one of the key design considerations because of the large amount of use and long time of automotive lighting. Efficiency is critical in electronic systems where space is limited, and in these designs the LED driver is installed very close to the LED assembly in the headlight, taillight, or side turn indicator.
Over the past few years, the global electric vehicle (EV) has maintained strong growth. According to Energy Innovation, by 2050, electric vehicles will account for 65% to 75% of global light vehicle sales and establish a dominant position in future mobility.
As systems become more data-centric, monitors in industrial, iot, home medical wearables, fitness and health are experiencing explosive growth. These data-centric systems are increasingly demanding more features and lower power consumption. This trend is driven by intelligent systems that actively monitor a person or environment and make predictive responses, including alarms, actions, or recommended actions.
Giving the robot the ability to perceive and move the environment makes the robot safer and more mobile. If combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, it will make the robot smarter and more practical, making the future development of robots very imaginative space. This article will explore the development of robot perception and AI technology, as well as the related solutions introduced by many manufacturers.
If the robot wants to move autonomously, it needs to have 3D perception (3D perception) function, and various sensors must be used to grasp the position of the robot in space in real time, among which LiDAR (laser radar) can provide high-precision position sensing, which has received the most attention from the industry. In addition, the robot also needs to be driven by motors to perform precise movements of itself or its limbs. This article will introduce you to the development of LiDAR technology and the LiDAR and motor drive solutions introduced by ROHM.
