Texas Instruments has launched a floating-point microcontroller (MCU) for operation under extreme temperature conditions from -55 °C to 210 °C, which it says is an industry first and exceeds the traditional 150 °C limit for high-temperature semiconductors devices. The SM320F28335-HT Delfino 32-bi

In 1900 Ferdinand Porsche, founding father of the present-day Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, entered unchartered territory. With the first functional, full-hybrid car in the world, the 'Semper Vivus' ('always alive'), the principle of the serial hybrid drive was born. In a ...

The Elektor PCB Prototyper featured in the December 2010 and January 2011 editions of Elektor is a compact, professional PCB router for producing complete PCBs quickly at very high accuracy. The PCB Prototyper is an ideal tool for use not only by independent developers of electronics but also in ...

Researchers of the CRISP (Cutting edge Reconfigurable ICs for Stream Processing) consortium, a team of four companies and two universities in The Netherlands, Germany and Finland demonstrate a self-testing and self-repairing chip at the DATE2011 conference in Grenoble. CRISP developed new concepts .

Xprotolab is a miniature oscilloscope, logic analyzer and arbitrary waveform generator housed in a 25 by 40 mm DIP module. It can be mounted directly on a breadboard or PCB for in situ testing and verification. Based on an Atmel ATXmega32A4 microcontroller with 32 KB of flash memory, 4 KB of  SRA

Researchers who have spent the last two years studying the security of car computer systems have revealed that they can take control of vehicles wirelessly. The researchers were able to control everything from the car's brakes to its door locks to its computerized dashboard displays by accessing...

To help developers simplify programming and reduce design time, Texas Instruments and Visual Solutions have jointly released a free two-month trial version of VisSim/ECD for TI Piccolo floating-point microcontrollers. The trial version includes all features of VisSim v8.0 and is available for use ..

Citizen Electronics Co., Ltd. recently reported having developed the LMC10B series of LED lighting modules with built-in AC drive circuits using innovative circuit technology. LEDs are usually driven by DC (direct current) power supply. Where an AC (alternating current) power supply is used, a DC .

The Meshlium Xtreme multi-protocol router from Libelium supports five wireless standards (WiFi, ZigBee, GPRS, Bluetooth and GPS) as well as wired Ethernet, giving designers and users a choice of methods for connecting wireless sensor networks to the Internet. It also supports sensor data storage in

ITTIA DB SQL, a relational embedded database for special-purpose systems that need self-contained data management, is now available for ThreadX, an advanced lightweight real-time operating system (RTOS) from Express Logic, Inc. When data is stored in a database backed by an RTOS, it is accessible ..
