For decades, the basic architecture of remote sensing nodes consisted of a controller, sensor, local storage memory, network connectivity interface and battery.

The autonomous cars are coming sooner than later, and that calls for a thorough understanding of functional safety and the complexities of compliance to standards such as ISO 26262.

Stuff goes wrong - it is a fact of life. Embedded devices are typically very reliable, but not immune to failure. A common failure mode is a lock-up - the device freezes and will not respond to any user interaction.

The goal for the Better Place Challenge design contest was a simple one?to have our embedded engineering community design something that makes the world a better place.

Many embedded systems are deployed in places that are difficult or impractical for a human operator to access. This is especially true for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, which are typically deployed in larger quantities and with limited battery life.

When we discuss AI, the discussion typically revolves around processing or algorithms. But I was reminded recently that power plays a big part in AI. How is that, you ask? Well, check out this week?s Five Minutes with?discussion with Ian Mazsa, a Director of Product Management and Business Development at Vicor to understand why you need to be concerned about power if you?re designing for AI.

Menlo Micro presented its Digital-Micro-Switch (DMS) technology platform at Electronica.

The learning kit is designed to help engineering students and electrical engineers study and understand magnetics? impact on a buck power supply.

Are you integrating an Arm Cortex-M processor for the very first time? This comprehensive whitepaper will take you through the process of including a Cortex-M processor into your SoC design.

A modern vehicle has over 100 million lines of code, more software than is found in a Space Shuttle or the Large Hadron Collider. To make driving decisions, autonomous vehicles use sophisticated software running on the most powerful CPUs ever seen in the automotive industry.

How do device software processes evolve to better protect our next-generation IoT devic?es? First, it starts with a sound plan that includes next-generation software assurance and a ?security-first? methodology. Teams need to rethink how they deliver software quickly ? with security, safety, and quality in mind from design to deployment.

From remote cyberattacks to the creation of counterfeit products, widespread security threats are affecting industries around the globe. When carried out, these threats can lead to substantial losses in service revenue, escalating recovery costs and, perhaps most significantly, irreparable damage to brand equity.
