Radiation-hardened low-dropout regulators (LDOs) are vital power components of many space-grade subsystems, including field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), data converters and analog circuitry. LDOs help ensure a stable, low-noise and low-ripple supply of power for components whose performance depends on a clean input.

TI’s high-reliability space-grade power-management devices are helping power the next generation of smarter, smaller satellites, enabling NASA engineers to better understand our universe

One of the top worldwide trends in metering is to add connectivity to the meter.  This allows for efficient readouts, over the air updates, and quick connectivity to your phone.  In large buildings with various tenants, you have multiple meters that need to be read monthly.  If all these meters are connected, pulling data from them is as simple as walking up to a data collector and performing a quick readout.  This saves time ...
