The ongoing computerization of vehicle systems is leading to additional electronic control units (ECUs) and sensors to ensure effective control. So, Hall effect sensors are widely adopted for their ...

Precise position sensing is an essential form of feedback to ensure consistent and reliable robotic motion control. Moving elements in robotic arm and autonomous mobile robot applications may ...

We’re all familiar with static electricity and its many “appearances.” It can be an annoying spark when you walk across a rug; allow you to stick a balloon against a wall after rubbing it across your ...

While we’ve been hearing the drumbeat of “silicon is dead” in power semiconductors for nearly 10 years, according to Mark Granahan, CEO of iDEAL Semiconductor, it’s mainly the lack of innovation in ...

What’s driving acquisitions in the analog and mixed-signal design realm? Most deals recently made in this space don’t fall into the typical unification of competitors swallowing each other to gain ...

There is a lot of demand for the tiny speaker in smart glasses and smartwatches to be even smaller and lighter. However, the century-old micro-speakers built around a dynamic driver, coil, and ...

Ultrasonic time-of-flight (ToF) sensors come to rescue indoor sensors, which often fail to detect and avoid barriers like plexiglass walls, translucent doors, and glass windows. Here is how ToF ...

Along with liquid-crystal displays (LCDs), light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in their various colors are at the core of many of the display screens we see and use without a second thought. They offer ...

Renesas is about to complete the acquisition of Dialog Semiconductor. Another analog and power chipmaker folds into the larger world of a digital semiconductor outfit aiming to bolster its ...

The title “analog debugging” seems a bit enigmatic. After reading it, an embedded firmware developer may suffer from cognitive dissonance; but trust me, it will make sense later. What the title ...

Industry collaborations are starting to incorporate analog designs into the artificial intelligence (AI) world, and one such case is IP supplier Dolphin Design partnering with Fraunhofer Institute for ...

The availability of Nvidia’s Jetson Thor redefines what’s possible for humanoids and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) by fusing physical intelligence and real-time reasoning through robotics foundation ...
