| Because satellites on space missions are inaccessible once launched, acquiring accurate telemetry data to monitor the state of health of the satellite sub-systems can help set a baseline to indicate a working system, while fluctuations can indicate failures. Two examples of sensitive components would require accurate monitoring of voltage, temperature and current are the radio-frequency (RF) power amplifiers and thermoelectric coolers. |

| The TPSM5D1806 dual 6-A output power module is a highly integrated and flexible DC-DC power supply packaged in a compact 8-mm × 5.5-mm × 1.8-mm, QFN package. The input voltage range of 4.5 V to 15 V allows conversion from a wide intermediate bus as well as standard 5-V and 12-V rails. The two 6-A outputs can be configured independently for two separate power rails or combined for a single 2-phase, 12-A output. |

| When most of us think about national security, thought immediately goes to more conventional threats in the form of physical attacks on territory. Few consider the ‘behind the screens’ cyber power battles that can take down entire networks that governments, organisations and citizens rely on for protection and survival.

| The General Product Safety Directive 2001/95/EC (GPSD) covers the safety of any products that do not fall under other European Union (EU) Directives, largely serving as a general safety net. Craig Ormerod, Senior Manager at TÜV SÜD, explains. |

| For autonomous vehicles to succeed, passengers must trust the car sensors and software to guide them safely and accurately to the destination. The key to delivering on trust lies in the fusion of inputs from various sensor types to enhance accuracy, redundancy, and safety, a technique that has been enabling advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). One of the primary sensors is light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and designers need to ensure the LiDAR system has the highest reliability, resolution, precision, and response time for self-driving cars. Rolf Horn, Applications Engineer at Digi-Key Electronics, explains. |

| Most modern Internet-of-Things appliances and devices can be monitored, controlled and activated from anywhere in the world. These things generate data regularly, and collectively they account for a massive amount of data. To access information and services quickly and reliably, companies across all sectors are more invested in connectivity, which entails faster, more reliable networks and better encryption and security. |
