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 ...

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 ...

Ultracapacitors are moving beyond the status of a component in a quest for new energy storage solutions and UCAP Power’s funding led by investment management company Grantchester C Change is a ...

A new electric vehicle (EV) charger solution is incorporating silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs and diodes to bolster power density and reliability. These SiC devices will be employed in the active AC-DC ...

The development of applications like security systems and wireless medical monitoring devices depends on several factors to ensure a successful design. However, design complexity and power efficiency ...

The instrumentation used for test and evaluation of a design defines a large part of the engineer’s world. While multimeters, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and vector network analyzers are the ...

One of the first lessons learned in electronics in general and analog circuits in particular is the importance of a solid, stable, stiff DC-power rail. It’s axiomatic that a rail which is noisy, ...

Is the system-on-chip (SoC) model that emerged in the semiconductor industry more than two decades ago seeping into the analog world? It seems like that when you take a closer look at onsemi’s ...

New data converter IPs are enabling high-performance, low-power data acquisition and signal-processing solutions in complex system-on-chip (SoC) designs. These data converters aim to unlock the ...

The quest to use higher portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and make use of its bandwidth potential is relentless, with ongoing efforts to leverage the terahertz band for mass applications such as ...

A new MEMS evaluation board promises to help engineers develop context-aware applications in a unified graphical environment. Developers can plug in a sensor module, connect to a PC, and start ...

I haven’t yet upgraded to using a single, universal remote-control unit to manage the diverse electronic products in my “media center.” That fancy designation is very misleading, as the room includes ...
