MSPM0G1505

Optimizing field sensor and transmitter applications with MSPM0 MCUs.

There are many different types of process inputs in the world of process control. Including temperature, humidity, flow, level, and pressure. These process inputs need to be measured by sensors that can convert measurements into suitable signal formats (either analog or digital), and then transmit those signals through a transmitter to a receiver, which interprets the signal and makes a control decision.

TMS320F280039C

How processing in real-time drives high-performance power systems

The previous installment of this real-time control series focused on the sensing functional block of the real-time control signal chain. It’s easy to misunderstand the second functional block, processing, and assume that it is only tied to the core central processing unit (CPU) frequency or million instructions per second (MIPS), focusing purely on data crunching. In this series installment, I’ll demonstrate the value of processing through the lens of high-performance power systems, and dispel any misconceptions about the role of processing in real-time control systems.

Securing Arm-Based Application Processors

Computer security once meant annoying viruses on PCs. Then, the stakes increased. Hacking into business and government systems exposed personal and financial information to fraud, theft and embezzlement. Now though, the security of embedded systems—or, more accurately, the insecurity of embedded systems—poses a threat to very critical data.
