Medical device designers have become increasingly interested in the Linux ® operating system (OS), largely because of its open source model. Linux lets the designer leverage a large pool of developers, a rich legacy of source code, and industry-standard POSIX APIs.
But Linux may not be the right choice for all...

The BMA222E is an advanced, ultra-small, triaxial, low-g acceleration sensor with digital interfaces, aiming for low-power consumer electronics applications. Featuring 8 bit digital resolution, the BMA222E allows low-noise measurement of accelerations in 3 perpendicular axes and thus senses tilt, motion, shock and vibration...

Functional safety actively prevents the failure of a system from causing harm to people and property. Developers often need to certify a system as compliant with a functional safety standard.
In this report, you’ll learn about functional safety and explore functional safety terms, such as dependability and availability,...

Design and verification engineers will be learning the importance of ensuring a stable operation and of reducing the risk of failure after any change over the product’s lifetime. Both require a solid characterization of the memory interface.
We will be discussing test and tool requirements such as bandwidth,...

In a design of a modern switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), the designer has to ensure that the converter is operating in its specified values over all circumstances. For example, some of these tests to ensure proper performance are output voltage deviation test, load transient test, output voltage ripple, input voltage...

The debate about the usefulness of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is over. A well-designed IIoT system can pay for itself many times over within the lifetime of the installation by providing equipment efficiency/usage, pre-emptive maintenance, monitoring and production supervision.
There is no single wireless...

As the world continues to get smaller, and millions of pounds of chemical products are shipped between countries daily, a Global Harmonized System (GHS) is being implemented to aid in the communication of hazards and risks. The UN Conference on the Environment and Development (UNCED) met in 1992 and decided that global...

In the evolution to advanced 3G and 4G services, wireless service providers are taking fiber to the top of the tower. Next-generation, fiber-fed architectures are quickly becoming the new norm for tower builds and retrofits.
These new fiber-to-the-antenna (FTTA) architectures leverage tower-mounted radios to deliver...

Deembedding, often a necessary and complex task, is made easier with an integrated hardware and software solution. Whether you are debugging a high-speed interface such as DDR or PCIe, characterising a fast clock or analysing a complex RF signal, you want to see the real signal and not artifacts of the test setup such...

For those following the development of 5G, it might be easy to say 5G development is over. For those following the marketing of various telecom companies, it might be easy to say 5G is already here. In reality, that is partially true. Yes, 3GPP Release 15 is complete. And yes, this release contains pieces...
