As embedded software takes a leading role in product behavior, disconnected product definition and limited change visibility between firmware and hardware are driving more redesign cycles than many teams realize.
<p>Firmware and hardware are tightly interdependent, but their development is often done in separate workflows, increasing the risk of misalignment and redesign.</p>
This article explains the principles and applications of continuous-time sigma-delta ADCs, while comparing their advantages and disadvantages with discrete-time versions.
Firmware configuration is more than just enabling features β it can quietly reshape execution or fundamentally alter system behavior, as revealed through an analysis of EDK2 firmware.
Testing a power supply at different load currents and different input voltages is important, but it only shows part of the truth. A Bode plot can reveal the rest.
Carlo Manfredini from Emona Instruments demonstrates how the Controls Explorer Board (CONTEx) brings complex mathematical concepts to life on NI's learning platform.
Ring-oscillator process monitors give production test teams a fast on-die frequency measurement for identifying CMOS process variation and sorting dies at wafer level.
This practical guide for modern powder-coated busbar assemblies outlines design considerations, material options, manufacturing methods, and testing strategies in the evaluation of insulation approaches.
