Moving (mostly) beyond the hype and hyperbole around the Internet of Things, the electronics engineering community has begun to tackle the real challenges and opportunities behind those billions of connected devices. It wasn’t that things weren’t connected before — it’s just that the things that are expected to be connected now involve more intricate designs […]
Automotive Electronics Put Pedal To The Metal
Whatever high-end phone or tablet or laptop a consumer may own, perhaps no electronics device is as sophisticated, complicated, or as rapidly evolving as the automobile. Today, we drive from point A to point B on what is basically a computer on four wheels. And to do that safely for ourselves and others, in the […]
Digital Manufacturing for all Industries
DEVELOPMENT SPEED and a well-designed, user-centric final product are critical to the success of companies launching consumer and computer electronic products and devices to different markets. Technology-enabled manufacturing processes can accelerate design cycles, lower development costs, and help support more SKUs and product customization that consumers now demand. From airplanes to automobiles to hospitals, electronics […]
e-Book: Wireless and Wearables
by David Somo, ON Semiconductor It may seem far-fetched to suggest that “Star Trek fashion” will be in style with people walking around wearing amped-up watches, eyeglasses, rings and bracelets. But then again, years ago it seemed futuristic to think that people would use their smartphone to email, surf the web, play games, watch videos, […]
On The Radio: RF Design In The ISM Band
Mastering the groundswell of radio waves The intangible and the invisible electromagnetic spectrum of which radio frequency is a relatively small part is as valuable a natural resource like any other and one which commands our constant attention. From Hertz to Marconi to today’s RF engineers, microwave electronics basics may not have changed dramatically but […]
e-Book: Innovative Solutions for Today’s Modern Cars by Microchip
Download the Microchip Ebook The typical Local Interconnect Network (LIN) node has a limited set of functions such as monitoring mechanical switches or touch buttons on a steering wheel and sending the information to the connected LIN master. For tasks which involve only low amounts of computing like these, the driving factors are mainly low […]
