Could electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft be the harbingers of an exciting new era of fossil-free aviation, or impractical, expensive play toys? I got a glimpse of personal air mobilityβs future with Velo Xβs X1 at the 2026 Sun nβ Fun airshow.
Dukosiβs chip-on-cell approach to battery management uses a proprietary antenna system to transfer data wirelessly. With it, adding cells to a battery pack becomes more like stacking building blocks.
Microchipβs LAN8x8x family of single-pair Ethernet PHYs support secure and deterministic Ethernet connectivity for automotive and industrial systems.
Chinese battery giant CATL has indicated its next-generation battery development will focus on lithium-air batteries, mainly due to their extremely high energy storage density.
Are eVTOL aircraft harbingers of a new era of fossil-free aviation, or impractical, expensive play toys? Lee Goldberg went looking for answers at the recent 2026 Sun nβ Fun airshow.
Traditional fire-detection strategies that only react after smoke and flames appear are insufficient for protecting high-value, high-uptime assets such as industrial and compute infrastructure.
These tools generally fall into five categories: power-system designers, power-supply calculators, digital power-supply configuration tools, circuit simulation tools, and hardware evaluation platforms.
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.
