Automotive infotainment and open-source development: Where is the industry moving?
By Laurent Emmerich – Coupled with high-speed internet connectivity and intuitive human machine interfaces (HMI), our cars have become smart devices on wheels. Dashboards that once featured basic audio systems are being replaced with multimedia and entertainment systems that stream data from the internet, mirroring many of the features that we access in our homes and our smart mobile devices. Printed maps are being replaced with sexy naviga...
Semtech's SC4530 30V Micropower Buck Regulator Improves Battery Life and Reduces Standby Power
Semtech has announced the release of the first device in its platform of high-efficiency micropower step-down switching regulators. The SC4530 is a 30V micropower buck regulator that provides light-load efficiency greater than 80% at 650µA output and an ultra-small, 50mm2 solution footprint.
