The DRV8873 is an integrated driver for industrial and automotive applications. With 10A peak current capability and 4.5-38V voltage range, this device supports a wide range of applications. PH/EN or PWM interface allows simple interfacing to controller circuits while also allowing independent ½ bridge control to drive two solenoid loads.

Frequency hopping describes a method in which communication systems rapidly change their operating frequency for purposes specific to their application. Applications such as communications, radar and electronic warfare use frequency hopping in order to avoid interference or detection, or to detect cloaked signals.  

The DRV8873 device is an integrated driver IC for driving a brushed DC motor in industrial applications. Two logic inputs control the H-bridge driver, which consists of four N-channel MOSFETs that drive motors bi-directionally with up to 10A peak current. The device operates from a single power supply and supports a wide input supply range from 4.5-38V.

Collectively, we’re engaged in a worldwide effort to reimagine automotive and reduce emissions, whether it’s helping carmakers offload combustion engines or transition to fully electric fleets. Electrification has proven to be the most adaptable tool for reducing emissions, but as voltage increases within vehicles, so does the significance of monitoring and protection subsystems.

In the early 1900s, driving at night was precarious. Lit by kerosene lamps, drivers announced their maneuvers with hand signals and shouts while employing guesswork to predict the actions of the other cars on the road. With fewer cars moving at slower speeds and dodging the occasional horse and wagon, they got by alright, but we’ve come a long way.

The SN6505x-Q1 is a low-noise, low-EMI push-pull transformer driver, specifically designed for small form factor, isolated power supplies. It drives low-profile, center-tapped transformers from a 2.25V to 5V DC power supply.

Texas Instruments and NASA have teamed up to give students who are learning remotely the opportunity to connect, collaborate and win prizes in a new, space-themed coding contest. 

As the automotive industry pushes toward more automated driving functions, the need for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) with a higher Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) increases. Until recently, ADAS equipment was mostly used to improve visibility or warn drivers of potentially dangerous situations. But now, many new cars can prevent drivers from rear-ending stopped vehicles, unintentionally drifting outside lanes, and ...

Automotive architectures are rapidly evolving with a trend towards semi-autonomous and eventually fully-autonomous vehicles. Automotive manufacturers are also including a variety of features such as smart access, car sharing, predictive maintenance, vehicle tracking, fleet management and over-the-air (OTA) updates to enhance connectivity and in-vehicle communication.
