Simulation and fault insertion are essential in mission-critical applications. Many companies turn to modular PXI-based systems for cost, size, repeatability, versatility and ease-of-use. In a production environment, the benefits of modular systems mentioned above are even more apparent. This white paper from Pickering discusses the benefits of using the industry standard PXI platform for HILS automated fault insertion & sensor simulation. |

Factory automation has become a necessary process that modern-day manufacturing plants must adopt to remain competitive. To the average person, this process may look like replacing old machines with new ones. And while this is certainly a part of automation, another key component of automation is the building of an IIoT network. |

This reference design provides a design template for implementing a three-level, three-phase, silicon carbide/gallium nitride (SiC/GaN) based ANPC inverter power stage. The use of fast-switching power devices makes it possible to switch at a higher frequency of 100 kHz, reducing the size of magnetics for the filter and increasing the power density of the power stage. The multilevel topology allows the use of 600-V rated power devices at higher DC bus voltages of up to 1000 V. The lower switching voltage stress reduces switching losses resulting in a peak efficiency of 98.5%. This design is modular in construction, making it configurable to work with SiC or GaN power devices with the same filter stage. |

Melexis have developed a new version of its time-of-flight 3D camera MLX75026 with a fully integrated infrared bandpass (IRBP) filter. By integrating the IRBP, it is no longer required to include a separate IR filter in the lens or sensor assembly. This solution is unique in the industry. It reduces design complexity and cost, while creating more design choice when sourcing a lens. |
