Semicast have released the latest findings from the 2013 edition of their Embedded Processing Service. According to these latest results, the outlook for Power Architecture in embedded processing looks very limited, with the long term future relying almost entirely on Freescale Semiconductor.

Analogue design is an important element of many systems, and so ElectronicSpecifier has conducted some research to understand more about how engineers select analogue components. ElectronicSpecifier and Napier worked in partnership, asking readers of ElectronicSpecifier about the analogue design work that they undertake and the challenges they face. The survey received over 150 responses from engineers across Europe. By Mike Maynard, Managing Dir...

The race for radical efficiency improvements in aircraft design is driving innovation in connector design. Stephen Webster, European Industry Manager for Military/Aerospace with Molex, explores further in this article from ES Design magazine.

Electrical systems, no matter what their purpose, share three primary requirements: reliable, safe, and long life operation. To ensure safe operation, users must be double insulated from any dangerous high voltages the equipment employs. To ensure reliable and long life operation, control electronics must also be protected from hazards such as electromagnetic interference and voltage spikes. Avago’s optocouplers provide safety and protection un...

Integrated Device Technology has revealed that it will be exhibiting its award-winning wireless power transmitters and receivers along with its latest next-generation wireless power solutions at TECHNO-FRONTIER 2013, held July 17-19 in Tokyo, Japan. Highlighted products will include the world’s first single-chip wireless power transmitter IC (IDTP9030) and multi-mode receiver (IDTP9020) for magnetic inductance technology.

Why design engineers need to think about circuit protection as part of the design process, rather than as an afterthought. Bharat Shenoy, Director of Technical Marketing, Electronics Business Unit, Littlefuse, explores this view in this article from ES Design magazine.

As industrial automation systems become more complex, Sally Ward-Foxton asks how do we make sure that all the machines can talk to each other in a secure and reliable way?

Global annual electrical energy consumption increased 350 percent from 1973 to 2010, according to the International Energy Agency. Yet, according to Scientific American, for every unit of energy that is converted into electricity globally, two units of energy are wasted. Here is the good news: commercial and manufacturing facility managers worldwide have shown a sustained interest in optimising energy used by their buildings.

The company began 2013 by striking up a dialogue with the manufacturing industry focusing on macro trends affecting the future of manufacturing. This was supported by a trend report and a video highlighting the effects of urbanization, sustainability, new materials and new technology. This time the industry leader takes a look at competence related trends like the upcoming skills gap and talent mismatch where the world may lack up to 85 million s...

Synopsys announced Formality Ultra, a new configuration of the Formality equivalency checking solution. Formality Ultra includes innovative matching and verification technologies to efficiently guide designers through the implementation of functional ECOs with minimal impact to the design and verify the correctness of the ECOs in minutes for multimillion instance designs. These new capabilities will help designers cut in half the time they spend ...
