In home appliances applications, reliability, safety, and longevity are essential. As switching frequencies and power densities increase, so does the risk of catastrophic failures from short circuits, overcurrents, and voltage spikes.

 Top ten features posted during 2025 based on reader data. 

Today’s industrial and home appliances aren’t so different. Both rely on high-performance peripherals, low-power flash memory, and advanced security and safety features to ensure robust and reliable operation.

As these applications evolve, so do their demands, requiring secure computing platforms capable of advanced, real-time communication and control for long-lifecycle use.

On this episode of Embedded Insiders, Ken sits down with Felix Galindo, a Principal Engineer at Digi International, to discuss the impending upgrade crisis for industrial facilities and legacy connectivity in Industrial IoT.

The next segment is sponsored by Infineon Technologies, featuring Rich and Sivaram Trikutam, Senior Vice President of Wireless Products at Infineon Technologies. The two discuss everything you need to know about Wi-Fi, including Infineon’s latest Wi-Fi transceiver, a 20-MHz tri-radio device for IoT applications.

It’s time for an update on Wi-Fi. On this week’s Embedded Executives podcast, we take a look at what’s the latest, what’s coming, what’s real, and what’s not so real, all as it pertains to Wi-Fi. 

Watch as we unveil the revolutionary Durin Door Manager, a groundbreaking product born from the collaborative genius of Durin and Infineon! This cutting-edge solution is about to disrupt the industry with its seamless integration of video and lock control, multifactor authentication, and unparalleled convenience.

Bluetooth Channel Sounding is a method of precisely measuring the distance between two Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) devices, down to just a few centimeters. In simple terms, it lets one device know exactly how far away another is. The technology relies on two complementary techniques: Phase-Based Ranging (PBR) and Round-Trip Time (RTT).
