Developing embedded software is an increasingly complex problem. As the world moves to multi-core, multi-architecture devices, software engineers need to leverage and debug different processing ...

Inertial MEMS sensors play a significant role in the massive expansion of today’s personal electronic devices. Their small size, low power, ease of integration, high level of functionality, and superb ...

S-parameters describe the fundamental characteristics of RF networks, and their main types include small signal, large signal, pulsed, cold, and mixed-mode S-parameters. This article continues a ...

With their long lives and low energy consumption, LEDs promise to change the lighting industry, but a key limiter to rapid adoption is the cost of the LEDs themselves. The cost of LED luminaires ...

One common method for determining the tilt or inclination of a system is to integrate the output of a gyroscope. Although this method is straightforward, error ...

Serial peripheral interface (SPI) is one of the most widely used interfaces between microcontroller and peripheral ICs such as sensors, ADCs, DACs, shift registers, SRAM, and others. This article ...

For a human, experiencing a fall unobserved can be doubly dangerous. The obvious possibility of initial injury may be further aggravated by the possible consequences if treatment is not obtained ...

Many industries are calling for electronics that can operate reliably in harsh environments, including extremely high temperatures. Traditionally, engineers had to rely on active or passive cooling ...

This application note provides design and manufacturing guidance in the use of the lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP). The LFCSP is compliant with JEDEC MO220 and MO229 outlines. The LFCSP is a ...

The thermocouple is a simple, widely used component for measuring temperature. This article provides a basic overview of thermocouples, describes common challenges encountered when designing with them ...

How should you proceed with a switching regulator with an analog ground (AGND) and a power ground (PGND)? This is a question asked by many developers designing a switching power supply. Some ...
