Nomogram helps engineer calculate transformer parameters
Pulsiv Limited has developed an innovative nomogram to help design engineers rapidly determine critical transformer parameters in DCM flyback designs. This intuitive tool can replace more complex equation-based methods, providing a fast and accurate visual process for identifying primary side inductance and minimum duty cycle. Combining DCM flyback designs with a Pulsiv OSMIUM AC to […]
Flash programmer protects firmware images
SEGGER’s Target Encrypted Link Package (TELP) protects intellectual property (IP) from end to end, including the last few inches of the device. IP owners and contract manufacturers alike benefit from having the owners in complete control of the programming process. The contract manufacturer never has access to the cleartext of a firmware image and both […]

If you are working with sensors here are some tools to consider: Part 1
Sensor fusion is increasingly important across a range of applications including automotive, industrial, consumer, portable, medical systems, and others. It can be challenging to sort out the design issues and identify the optimal solution. That’s where electronic design automation (EDA) tools are handy. The best choice of EDA tool or tools for a given project […]
Support kits extend production flash programmer
The new Flasher Device Support Kit (DSK) provides everything necessary to extend the device support of the Flasher in-circuit / in-system production programmers. With the DSK, it is now easy to add new or custom devices to the long list of supported devices of the Flasher product family (“The almost-anything programmers”). Out of the box, […]
