xMEMS Labs has announced Sycamore-W, a new addition to the company’s Sycamore near-field MEMS speaker family, engineered for smart watches, fitness bands, and other wrist-worn wearables.

In the journey toward more autonomous zone architectures, software-driven decision-making requires precise timing and reliable clocking circuits. From advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) and high-speed data networks, automakers are implementing the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) 6.0 specification, Gigabit Ethernet, and serializers and deserializers (SerDes) to improve safety and enhance the...

Humans have been driving vehicles for over a hundred years, with a less than stellar safety record. While vehicles are safer now than they have ever been, automotive accidents and fatalities have been increasing in many regions of the world. This trend can be attributed, in part, to the increasing number of distractions confronting drivers.

Rutronik is introducing Infineon's PSOC C3 MCUs in the Entry, Main, And Performance product lines for optimised solutions in a wide range of applications. The Arm Cortex-M33-based microcontrollers feature real-time control for motor and energy conversion solutions and a scalable portfolio in terms of functions, packages, pinouts, memory, and performance.

Semiconductors are crucial to designing new and evolving vehicles; a vehicle today has between 1,000 and 3,500 semiconductors. As drivers continue to prioritize features such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), the importance of semiconductors in the vehicles of today – and tomorrow – will only increase. Looking ahead, more than 50 percent of vehicles in the US are estimated to have a full suite of ADAS f...

Bourns has added four new product series to its line of shielded power inductors. The Bourns SRP4021HMCT, SRP4021HMT, SRP5030HMCT, and SRP5030HMT Shielded Power Inductor Series feature high heating and saturation current with low magnetic field radiation to deliver enhanced power handling, increased efficiency, and optimised power circuit filtering.

Have you ever wondered where manufacturers get those nice rounded-off numbers for maintenance timelines? Who decided that every 5,000 miles was the best time to change your vehicle’s oil? The truth is, in some cases, it isn’t. With technology advancing by leaps and bounds, there has been a major focus on implementing a method of proactive maintenance based on perceived future need, not a specific time period or mileage.

With over three decades of embedded development experience, commitment to industry standards, and an active involvement in the open source community, we offer software, tools and resources that simplify your development process, enhance long-term stability and accelerate your time to market.

This reference design illustrates a motor inverter with MSPM0G, an Arm Cortex-M0+ core microcontroller. The design not only supports a sensorless Field Oriented Control (FOC) algorithm with 1-3 shunt resistors, but also a sensored motor driving algorithm with a Hall or Quadrature Encoder Interface (QEI) sensor.

Robotic system designers are faced with growing design complexity as they strive to meet the demand for robots with higher levels of automation. This increased complexity is especially prevalent in robots that closely collaborate with humans like collaborative robots (cobots) and autonomous mobile robots (AMR).
