A2B® and Ethernet in Automotive Applications: What, When, and How

By

The number of electronic systems in cars has increased in recent years, reaching higher levels of complexity with the adoption of new technologies for infotainment and advanced driver-assistance systems (cameras, radar, lidar, etc.), along with multiple sensors for many different purposes (stability, speed, acceleration, etc.). In such a landscape, there is no easy answer to the need for a high bandwidth, low latency, deterministic, robust, and cheap communication bus. This paper examines the use of A2B® and Ethernet in Automotive Applications.

Charting a path to operational excellence with smart manufacturing

By

Medical device manufacturers have traditionally used paper-based methods to guide and track the execution of manufacturing processes, including paper device history records (DHR). But industry leaders have made strides in adopting automated processes. However, now they are facing challenges in scaling these systems, especially across globally distributed production facilities and when contracting with manufacturing partners. Gathering, standardizing, and contextualizing real-time manufacturing data across all participants in the supply chain can enable automated validation of product equipment and processes.

Optimize Your Machine HMI Innovation and the Next Generation of OEM Equipment

By

Human machine interface (HMI), a dashboard used to control machinery, continues to evolve within industrial applications. Cooperative partnerships among technology companies, value-added resellers, and OEMs accelerate the application of these HMI innovations, which strive to meet standards of Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of things (IIoT) while providing end customers with increasing value.

Davis-Standard, a global polymer processing solutions provider of highly engineered equipment solutions and services, worked with GE Digital and AutomaTech to revamp its HMI on customized equipment, including implementing a historian tool to help pinpoint customer problems and better understand customer usage of equipment, as well as offering advanced analytics.  These developments illustrate how the next generation of OEM equipment will help OEM customers drive profitability into the future.

Siemens, AMD, and Microsoft collaborate on EDA in the cloud

By

Moving some or all of your EDA computing to the cloud enables your company to reduce time-to-market and innovate faster by taking advantage of flexible cloud resources and economies of scale. Siemens EDA teamed up with AMD and Microsoft Azure to demonstrate how using the Calibre platform with cloud computing can dramatically reduce your design closure times. Using a production 7nm design, they achieved a 2.5X speed up in physical verification cycle time.

Why a Fully Integrated Translation Loop Device Achieves the Best Phase Noise Performance

By

We are experiencing an explosive growth in demand for bandwidth that pushes the carrier frequencies to multiple decades of gigahertz. However, as the frequencies increase, the instrumentation solutions targeting these devices and frequencies can become extremely complex. In this article, we review several methods for low phase noise signal generation and demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of these methods. We introduce the translation loop device, which takes the best of all frequency generation methods without their complexity to enable ultralow phase noise signal generation.

Battery Stack Monitor Maximizes Performance of Li-Ion Batteries in Hybrid and Electric Vehicles

By

Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries are a popular way to store energy in electric and hybrid vehicles. These batteries offer the highest energy density of any current battery technology, but to maximize performance, a battery monitoring system (BMS) is mandatory. A state-of-the-art BMS not only allows you to extract the highest quantity of charge from your battery pack, but also lets you manage the charge and discharge cycles in a safer way, which results in an extended life.
