Embedded security: Do you know what you don’t know?
by Lynnette Reese for Mouser Electronics Most of us assume that security comes from the operating system or application software. However, firmware is also at risk, including anything that barely hovers over the physical layer (silicon) in the chip. Embedded security is especially important in blocking seemingly innocuous pathways for hacking, such as in an […]
How LiFi and LEDs will combine to brighten our future
by Paul Golata, Mouser Electronics Gone are the days when lights were standalone devices whose sole purpose was to illuminate a particular area. The rise of connectivity and data-dependency in our lives means the role of luminaires is changing. Connected lighting systems (CLSs), using light-emitting diode (LED) technology and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, now […]
Smaller, cheaper, better: Microsatellites
by Rudy Ramos, Mouser Electronics In 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1. The satellite was just 50cm wide. Today’s most massive unmanned spacecraft, the bus-sized Hubble telescope, weighs 11 tons. However, in recent decades, practical satellites have shrunk once more to Sputnik dimensions. Several factors limit satellite minimum sizes; solar panel area to generate […]
Why use optocouplers in electronics?
Optocouplers not only protect sensitive circuits but enable an engineer to design a variety of hardware applications. Optocouplers can avoid a great deal of cost in replacing components by protecting them. However, optocouplers are more sophisticated than fuses. Optocouplers also make it convenient to control the connection between two circuits by connecting and disconnecting them […]
