The complex mix of electronic components contained in automobile infotainment systems mirrors consumer electronics: high performance microcontrollers, memory, interface, and driver ICs.

The simplest application of power modes is that when a system is idle, you put it to Sleep. Today?s MCUs, however, offer multiple low power modes, further complicating low power design.

This article will introduce several different types of inherent switching regulator noise: switching ripple, wideband noise, and high frequency spike.

Michael Murray, General Manager of Analog Devices’ Industrial Sensing Group, described the company’s initiative into autonomous sensing. You’re not familiar with that technology?
