Security for embedded systems – Virtual Roundtable (part 1 of 2)
Hosted by Jeff Shepard, EE World has organized this “virtual roundtable” into “Security for Embedded Systems” Panelists include Haydn Povey (HP), General Manager Embedded Security Solutions with IAR Systems, Mike Dow (MD), Senior Product Manager, IoT Security with Silicon Labs, Jim McElroy (JM), VP of sales and marketing at LDRA Technology, and Dave Hughes (DH), […]
Basics of spectrometers and spectroscopy
The spectroscope is an instrument that separates white or near-white light into constituent colored bands as in a rainbow. The spectra can be projected onto a screen, viewed through a lens assembly, or photographed. The most elementary spectroscopes consisted of a single prism as used by Isaac Newton, described in an early treatise. He caused […]
HVDC transmission system architectures and use cases
High-voltage dc power transmission (HVDC) use is growing across a variety of applications. One of the main growth drivers is renewable energy. HVDC interconnects between geographically dispersed wind and/or solar farms can help mitigate the effects of variable energy generation levels by providing a means for averaging the various changing power outputs. HVDC is already […]
HVDC converters, components, and control systems
While the use of high-voltage DC (HVDC) results in lower transmission losses compared with high-voltage AC (HVAC), 5-6% losses for HVDC versus 8-10% for HVAC, the overall cost-justification for HVDC is more complicated. HVAC terminals are much less expensive than the power electronics-intensive HVDC terminals. But HVDC cabling can be less costly than an HVAC […]
Over a century of high voltage DC power transmission
Even though ac power transmission dominates as a result of its flexibility in delivering power to end users, dc power transmission has been used to send higher power levels over longer distances for over a century. The earliest high-voltage DC (HVDC) power transmission systems, starting in the 1890s and continuing through the 1930s, used the […]
Power transistors drive 5G cells
The single QPD0005 and dual QPD0405 power transistors from Qorvo provide the power needed to drive cellular antennas.

NI CEO: COVID-19 on day one
NI CEO Eric Starkloff’s first decision was what to do about COVID-19 the night before he took over on February 1, 2020. Since then, he’s seen the opportunities in communications resulting from the pandemic.
