If there is one tool that is practically essential for electronic design, it is the oscilloscope. The oscilloscope makes it possible to look inside a circuit and see how it is really performing. If there are signal-integrity issues or glitches affecting the operation of the circuitry, they will most likely show up on the screen of an oscilloscope. But to ensure correct results, it is vital to ensure that the signal going into the probe is as high quality as possible. Distortions caused by poor choices over probe selection and attachment can easily mislead the engineer and you do not want to be debugging part of a design when the bug is actually an artefact of the probing rather than the design itself.
High-performance AX8000 multi-axis servo system maximizes machine throughput
SVM Automatik A/S, based in Silkeborg, Denmark, utilizes the high-performance AX8000 multi-axis servo system in the design of NESTOR, a transport machine for the pharmaceutical industry. The machine requires only microseconds to handle sterile glass containers for quality control. In addition, it can be converted extremely flexibly and quickly and is much easier to program than previous models.
There are many applications in the defense, industrial, and robotics industries that require an embedded system to use a brushless DC (BLDC) motor. While spinning a motor might seem trivial, it is it is a complex matter that can slow down a project as the developer comes up to speed on motor drive, torque, electrical characteristics, and electromagnetic properties, as well as current feedback measurements.
MAX30208 clinical-grade digital temperature sensor enables new wearable health and fitness use cases at half the power; MAXM86161 in-ear heart-rate monitor provides best-in-class SNR at lowest power and 40 percent less space for continuous heart-rate and SpO2 measurements
CyBox RT 2-A extends wireless access point family with dual LTE/WiFi router for automotive electronics
ELTEC Elektronik expands its successful family of wireless LTE routers with the CyBox RT 2-A, i.e. a stable and reliable dual LTE/WiFi system for automotive solutions. The new high-performance system combines a wireless router, access point and integrated switch in a compact and robust housing. This allows unlimited Internet surfing and data exchange with the control center for mobile applications in buses, trams and trucks. In addition to the 1 GbE interface, additional interfaces enable the connection of vehicle-internal bus systems (CAN, IBIS, OBD-2, RS232 and RS485). With this new router, for example, efficient fleet management can be implemented. Optimum capacity utilization can also be achieved by transmitting and controlling passenger numbers. Operators benefit in the form of cost reductions and better service.
Digital ISELED LED technology opens up new possibilities in interior lighting and beyond
Organized by the Lighting Technology Faculty of the TU Berlin, ISAL 2019 will be taking place from 23 to 25 September. The "International Symposium on Automotive Lighting 2019" is aimed at designers, engineers, scientists and decision-makers from the automotive lighting industry. This makes the renowned ISAL congress exhibition the ideal platform for Inova Semiconductors to present its innovative solutions for automotive lighting with a focus on interior lighting.
