3D Printing vs CNC Machining

June 20, 2017

3D Printing is opening up new frontiers with CNC milling, while there isn’t a single “best” solution, the doors are opening wide for new capabilities.

Xeon-D Vs Xeon-E for embedded radar applications: Comparing server-class devices for Space Time Adaptive Processing applications

June 19, 2017

For airborne radars, longer, higher and further means more processing power in smaller, rugged packages. Processing power is achieved by leveraging the best commercial Intel Xeon compute capability. Xeon processors are available as either “mobile” (Xeon D) of “data center” (Xeon E) devices. Xeon D, designed for laptop applications, require lower power, less cores, lower memory bandwidth and less connectivity. Xeon E processors power data-centers and cloud facilities. Such processors typically have larger core counts, faster memory and increased connectivity such as QPI enabling efficient use of multiple on-board processors and SMP.

Key Considerations for Powertrain HIL Test

June 16, 2017

Safety, availability, and cost considerations can make performing thorough tests of embedded control devices using the complete system impractical. Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation is a real-time test technique used to test these devices more efficiently.

Making Li-ion Battery Packs Safer

June 14, 2017

The power FET provides an essential safety function in a battery management system (BMS), isolating the battery pack from either a load or a charger in errant conditions.

Automotive Resource Kit

June 14, 2017

Real-world testing of the embedded control systems found in vehicles can be complex, expensive, and hazardous. HIL simulation lets engineers thoroughly and efficiently test embedded devices in a virtual environment.
Security
Why Hardware-Based Design Security is Essential for Every Application

June 14, 2017

Design security is often an afterthought. But, with the regularity of security breaches impacting an array of industries, it's now more of an imperative to build security into designs early on. This paper addresses why security can't be neglected even in the most seemingly innocuous products, and examines why hardware-based security technologies can better protect against vulnerabilities than software-based approaches.

Optimizing Trim Commands to Improve Flash Storage Performance in Embedded Systems

June 14, 2017

Proper upkeep of NAND flash is critical to the performance and life expectancy of solid state drives (SSDs), embedded multimedia cards (eMMCs), and universal Flash storage (UFS) devices. Part of this maintenance is routine discards (or “trim,” “unmap,” or “erase” commands in non-Linux command sets).

Hardware in the Loop Testing for Power Electronics Systems

June 14, 2017

Embedded control system developers and test engineers face new challenges with the growing adoption of electric motors in the automotive industry and in green energy applications. Electric motor simulation needs to have high fidelity, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test systems must execute simulation models on the order of 1μs to adequately simulate the electric motor behavior.

White Paper: Best Use of Discards to Improve Flash Storage Performance

June 05, 2017

Steep declines in performance can arise in eMMC and UFS if discards are not being used. But what do discards mean for the flash and the file system, and can you balance the performance and the cos...
