This reference design from Texas Instruments details how to drive various forms of electronically dimmable glass, including SPD-SmartGlass and APD Glass from a car battery. This illustrates how to make a DC/AC inverter using the LM5155-Q1 boost converter with a charge pump, two UCC27712-Q1 half bridge drivers, and a TMS320F2807 microcontroller for PWM creation and system monitoring.

Stringent government regulations, requirement for compliance with emission standards, and increasing consumer inclination towards innovative safety technologies are transforming automobile industry. Rising public spending has resulted in increased automobile sales and road traffic, thereby enhancing the probability of accidents, property loss, and fatalities.

Brushless direct current electric motors, or BLDC motors for short, are electronically commutated motors powered by a dc electric source via an external motor controller. Unlike their brushed relatives, BLDC motors rely on external controllers to achieve commutation. Put simply, commutation is the process of switching the current in the motor phases to generate motion. By Jason Kelly, CUI

Increased customer demand to derive maximum output from legacy equipment is drivingpump manufacturersto integrate enhanced technological features into existing pumps. They started off integratingVariable Frequency Drives(VFDs) andcontrollerswith the aim of conserving energy, monitoring performance, controlling the speed, and measuring a few vital parameters, but these benefits are beginning to prove insufficient for next-gen automated industries.

Specialist in desktop 3D printing, Ultimaker, has announced that it has been selected by Airbus, to supply Ultimaker 3D printers, Ultimaker Cura software, and materials to use in its European facilities. Airbus will mainly use the Ultimaker portfolio for the direct, local production of tools, jigs, and fixtures, and printing lightweight design parts with composite materials.

To support widespread deployment of secure IoT solutions based on its Platform Security Architecture (PSA) framework, Arm and its independent security testing lab partners Brightsight, CAICT, Riscure and UL, along with consultants Prove&Run, have announced PSA Certified. At this week’s embedded world exhibition, Electronic Specifier Editor, Joe Bush, caught up with David Maidment, Director, Secure Devices Ecosystem at Arm, to find out m...

Gemalto has announced the industry-first 5G SIM in order to meet operator requirements for the new generation of network deployments which will emerge in 2019. Compliant with the latest ETSI 3GPPspecifications and SIMalliancerecommendations, the 5G SIM is defined by them as the only solution capable of securing 5G network access. The Gemalto 5G SIM brings not only improved data privacy and seamless 5G global roaming imposed by the latest standard...

In-Mold (or Mould) Electronics (IME) promises to enable high-volume production of structural electronics where the electronic circuitry and functionality are part of the 3D-shaped structure itself. This will save weight and space and will enable new elegant designs. IME in many ways, it is an evolution of the well-established IMD, in which molding (or other ways of 3D forming) are combined with graphic printing.

A more rigorous approach to the Medical Device Directive could be a burden rather than a revitalising tonic, suggests Steve Roberts, CTO, Recom

Voltage and current levels will change, but the requirements for low EMI/EMC emissions will not, argues Tony Armstrong, Analog Devices.
