PIEZO Actuators are the gold standard when it comes to precision, speed, and force in a small package. With the absence of friction and wear, they can provide billions of cycles of maintenance-free service. Hexapod robots, six-legged parallel-kinematic machines, are quickly gaining ground in a … [Read more...]
PCI Express® Measurement Techniques for Gen5 and Beyond
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, … [Read more...]
Push-In Connection Terminals: Making Wiring Reliable, Safe and Efficient
Push-in connection technology is a new wiring option adding to a wide range of IDEC components and automation products. This new push-in feature is already in use on IDEC’s HW-series pushbuttons and emergency stops as well as pilot lights, selector switches, select programmable logic controllers … [Read more...]
Smart Factories Need Smarter Machines: New Revenue Opportunities with Edge Computing
While automation has been an integral part of machine design for many years, new concepts such as Digital Transformation, Smart Manufacturing, Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are being increasingly applied in the machine world to deliver differentiation and competitive … [Read more...]
Eliminating The Hidden Cost of Machine Design
Many machine designers automatically specify profiled rails because they deliver accuracy at a low cost, unaware of the problems that can arise when it’s time to assemble the machine — and beyond. They often overlook a class of medium-precision linear guides that can be much more cost-effective by … [Read more...]

Fusing CMOS IC and MEMS Design for IoT Edge Devices
A new breed of designers are creating IoT edge devices that span across analog, digital, RF, and MEMS domains. They are tackling a challenge that once seemed impossible: combining the electronics of the device using the traditional CMOS IC flow with the MEMS sensor on the same silicon die. This … [Read more...]
Key Technology Trends Driving the Medical Connector Market
The quality and reliability of electronic equipment is vital for every industry, but it is especially critical in the medical industry where human life and safety depend on equipment operating as intended. This formidable responsibility not only impacts the device manufacturer, but the suppliers of … [Read more...]
Industrial IoT (IIoT) – Where is Silicon Valley
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has a market forecast approaching over one hundred billion, so it has everyone’s attention right now, except, it seems, Silicon Valley. Turning volumes of factory data into actionable information from the supply chain, to the floor, to operations, and up to … [Read more...]
Integrated Design Management for Collaborative IC Design
For IC design and verification teams, employing a data management tool is important for successful projects. Often, specific blocks are assigned to team members based on analog, digital, MEMS, RF expertise, across multiple geographies.
