The facility at TAMU has been great for most of the testing I've been associated with. blogs message boards chat ADI Standard Space Products Screening: Beyond Group A Testing Jonathan Harris Jonathan Harris, Product Applications Engineer, Analog Devices, 1/18/2019 Comment now Over the last two months, in November and December, we took a bit of a detour from our discussion of the various standard space product screenings performed at ADI. I would like to get back on track with that discussion this month. I've highlighted the steps we will focus on in this blog in green in the table excerpt below (recall back in my blog from ... LiDAR damage to camera at CES? Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 1/16/2019 Comment now Recently, AEye, was demonstrating their LiDAR system at CES in Las Vegas. A man using his new $1,198 Sony camera found that his photographs were damaged after he took pictures of AEye's LiDAR LASER scanning system. The e-car: Electronics technology applied to sustainable mobility, Part 10 Busy Blogger, Busy Blogger, 1/11/2019 Comment now The e-car basic concept is represented by the role of the electronics technology in making the car more comfortable, safe and effectively interacting with the driver. The first characteristic, comfort, is nowadays being dramatically enhanced by the new solution known as Road Noise Control (acronym: RNC) that has been introduced by BOSE during the CES ... The Beauty of Re-Configurability Aubrey Kagan, Engineering Manager, Emphatec, 1/11/2019 Comment now 1 Comment Early microcontrollers had fixed I/O. It may have been possible to connect one of several internal peripherals to the I/O pins, but those pins were restricted and there was never an option of conditioning those outputs. Some modern microcontrollers not only have the ability to route the peripheral to any I/O pin, they also allow for configuration and ...

Look Who’s Talking Now—Give Your IoT Device a Voice Worth Hearing Gregory Mow, Business Manager for Audio Solutions at Maxim Integrated, 1/10/2019 Comment now 1 Comment In the not too distant past, if you were seen holding a conversation with a household appliance, you might have run the risk of being committed. However, the reality of the current age of the Internet of Things or IoT (Figure 1) means it is now possible for your oven to ask you how you would like your meat to be cooked, your gaming module to ask you what ... Most recent post, DavidHamilton, 1/16/2019 1:33:39 AM I personally find it a little creepy to think that there's a voice coming out of... Tradeoffs between On-Die and Off-Die Voltage Regulators Siddharth Katare, Siddharth Katare, 1/10/2019 Comment now The increasing demand of mobile computing and handheld devices are driving architects to move from discrete components to tightly integrated System on Chip (SoC). The back-end servers are also following the trend to perform faster computations to meet the increased data processing demands. Providing longer battery life and being environment friendly is ... DC Precision Considerations for High Speed Current Feedback and Fully Differential Amplifiers, Insight #4 Michael Steffes, Sr. Applications Manager, 1/9/2019 Comment now Current Feedback Amplifiers (CFA) provide the highest Large Signal BandWidth (LSBW), but relatively poor DC precision. The elements creating that poor DC precision will be detailed here. Of particular interest is the CMRR error in the CFA design. That low CMRR arises from the input buffer gain being <1.0. The more recent Fully Differential Amplifiers ... Top 10 Earthly benefits from the NASA Apollo program Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 1/8/2019 Comment now This year we will have the 50th anniversary of the first manned landing on the Moon on July 20, 1969. NASA has an Office of Technology Transfer and Commercialization, that licenses technologies developed for space during the Apollo program, to benefit life on Earth. Here are my top 10 from the Apollo era. What’s a Gerber Variable Scale? Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 1/7/2019 Comment now 1 Comment I first became familiar with the Gerber Scale while recently speaking to a couple of NASA retirees who worked on the Apollo program back in the 60s. They are Ray Melton, who was in the Lunar Module Rocket engine test areas at White Sands and Dave Pippen, an electrical engineer, who also worked in the Rocket engine test area at White Sands, and later ... Most recent post, firstrankseoservices, 1/12/2019 4:20:13 AM Thanks for your post! I believe there are many who feel the same satisfaction as... Controlling Brushless DC Motors to Tackle New Challenges Rudy Ramos, Technical Content Marketing Project Manager, Mouser Electronics, 1/5/2019 Comment now The advent of simplified field-oriented motor-control algorithms, that can be hosted on an affordable embedded controller, is an important factor in the success of brushless DC (BLDC) motors, which are now preferred over ordinary brushed DC and line-powered AC motors in an increasing variety of scenarios. Their applications span industrial actuators and ... Silicon yields phased-arrays for optics, not just RF Bill Schweber, Engineer, Author, Editor, 12/23/2018 Comment now 3 comments I often wonder if there is something beyond our grasp and perhaps “other-worldly” about elemental Silicon (Si), which is the primary material for most ICs and discrete semiconductors work. Yes, there are all-Germanium (Ge) devices in use (still!), as well as SiC, GaN, SiGe, GaAs and other mixed-material substrates available (I mean no insult ...
