MAX22701E reduces overall system energy loss by 30 percent and improves system uptime with up to 3× higher CMTI performance
With the MAX22701E isolated gate driver from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., designers of high-voltage/high-power systems can improve power supply efficiency by up to 4 percentage points over competitive solutions, reducing power loss and the resulting carbon footprint by 30 percent. The driver IC is intended for use in switch-mode power supplies within industrial communication systems for solar power inverters, motor drives, electric cars, energy storage systems, uninterrupted power supplies, data farms and high-power/high-efficiency power supplies.
Radio frequency (RF) applications like automotive radar, 5G cellular, IoT and others are expanding the number of RF sources used in electronic systems. All of these sources require a methodology for monitoring and controlling RF power levels while at the same time not incurring losses in the transmission line and load. Also, some applications require high power transmitter output, so designers need to figure out a way to monitor output signals without directly connecting sensitive instrumentation that may be damaged by high signal levels.
Yesterday’s students are today’s engineers and they love the Raspberry Pi 3
For some years, medical engineering specialist Kontron Austria Electronics (formerly exceet electronics) has been using the Raspberry Pi to enable its customers – major medical equipment OEMs – to develop market-leading medical devices. Kontron Austria Electronics is leading the way in medical electronics and their interface with the Internet of Things (IoT) while delivering on connectivity, security, scalability and sustainability. Working closely with its customers, the company helps them to add value to patient care while cutting the cost of that care. This article looks at why Kontron Austria Electronics chose to offer solutions based on Raspberry Pi and how its customers have benefited from this approach.
Digi-Key Electronics, the leading global electronic components distributor, is excited to return to Embedded World 2020, the trade fair for embedded system technologies, Feb. 25-27, 2020, in Nuremberg, Germany. Visit Digi-Key at booth 4A-633 for interactive technical demos, giveaways and more.
Just over 40 years ago, the first 8-bit microcontroller appeared was released to the market. Engineers quickly saw the advantages it brought. As a single device that contained a full microprocessor, memory, timer and I/O ports, it greatly simplified the bill of materials (BoM) and design of many electronic products. The microcontroller soon found its way into computer keyboards while derivatives and competitors spread into a huge number of embedded systems in the following decades.
DS28C40 improves automotive reliability and data integrity by verifying genuine component use in ADAS, EV batteries and other electronic systems
Designers can now enhance safety, security and data integrity for connected vehicle systems while also reducing both complexity and code development time with the DS28C40 DeepCover® automotive secure authenticator from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.. As the industry's first and only AEC-Q100 Grade 1 solution for automotive systems, this authenticator IC reduces the design complexity and software vulnerability of current approaches to ensure only genuine components are used for many electronic systems, such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and electric vehicle (EV) batteries.
