Predictive maintenance is the most efficient and effective way of managing a sizeable asset-based production facility or manufacturing site. Incorporating edge-based inference on microcontrollers and the normal core function, motor control, for example, saves considerable deployment costs. Also, conducting inference at the edge removes the need for constant and costly network bandwidth and latency challenges. In this paper, we’ll explore a motor control solution that helps reduce maintenance costs and downtime for your automation system.

With the wide use of energy storage devices such as batteries and supercapacitors, the current trend is to simplify battery charge and discharge management. A bidirectional DC/DC converter can accomplish this to maintain a healthy battery and extend battery runtime. The bidirectional converter uses one powertrain to implement the charge and discharge operation. This paper describes how Renesas Electronics has integrated bidirectional control into its latest controller, the ISL81601, enabling easy implementation of on-the-fly reverse-direction power flow and control.

Historically, the preferred instrument for measuring the reference clock jitter of PCI Express® (PCIe®) systems has been the digital storage oscilloscope (DSO). Unfortunately, as the data rates in successive PCIe generations increase and as reference clock maximum jitter specifications become lower, the DSO’s intrinsic jitter is becoming a problem. This white paper will show that changes to the existing PCIe Gen3/4 filters are not required when using improved measurement techniques and low noise parts like the IDT9FGV1006.

“Security” is a word that never fails to elicit a response, but what it means varies greatly depending on context, even when narrowed down to the world of electronic devices. For the consumer, “security” usually means that personal data is not available to anyone other than the specific intended recipients, but for products powered by a microcontroller, there often isn’t much end-customer data to protect. Let’s look at some other definitions of the word “security.” For software developers, “security” might mean that no one can steal their code. For OEMs, “security” could mean that no one can create clones of their device. For service providers that offer a service via an electronic device, “security” often means that no one can use their service without proper authorization or payment. For governments, “security” can mean that the device cannot be infiltrated and used as a weapon as part of a DDoS attack. All of these definitions definitely apply to microcontrollers and products based on them, regardless of market segment.

In the first white paper of this series, Renesas gave an overview about security for the connected world. This white paper will give more details about the demand and the techniques – why and now – to protect stored data in the MCU or application. Based on an artificial example it will guide you through the considerations of different levels of security implementation based on the demand from application and potential attack scenarios. This should help you to prepare a security plan for data stored in the device and find the best security level based on your demand.

Comprehensively securing connected devices is more important today than ever before, yet there is no one-size-fits-all approach to internet security. Each embedded solution has different requirements, and no security protection can safeguard against all the vulnerabilities that exist. Embedded developers need to strike a balance among competing approaches and priorities, including development costs and time commitments. This white paper examines various approaches to securing internet communication and the challenge of implementing these security methodologies correctly.

Industrial automation and solar inverter equipment are under intense pressure for size reduction to extract cost savings while, at the same time, new safety standards are requiring longer creepage and clearance distances in the electrical isolation components. Learn the reasons behind these industry trends and how new products are designed to meet both competing requirements.

With the rapid spread of the IoT, many devices require the integration of a communication module function. Conversely, the number and severity of security threats are also on the rise. Microcontrollers therefore must meet a range of demands, including smaller footprints, lower power consumption, enhanced security, and timely OTA firmware update capability.
