Latest Embedded Software Industry White Papers

Source Control, Git, and Industrial Automation

Source control systems have become ubiquitous in the IT world but have not become a major component of operational technology (in particular, PLC programming). There is an increasing, popular movement in the industrial controls world to bring modern source control systems to PLC programming.

Net Common Resistance Extraction is Crucial to Design Reliability

Accurately extracting and calculating the common resistance of interconnects within analog IC designs is fundamental for evaluating circuit reliability, particularly for noise and voltage drop analysis and ESD protection verification.

Optimizing the Integration of DFM and P&R

Design companies and foundries are constantly modifying their design implementation flow to deliver the best possible solution for their operational needs and the best possible designs for the market.

How to Successfully Calibrate an Open-Loop DAC Signal Chain

The monitoring and testing of a DAC signal chain are critical considerations for open-loop applications. Errors in a DAC signal chain, including DAC intrinsic errors that vary depending on the system, can significantly disrupt the customer design-in experience.

Choosing the Most Suitable Predictive Maintenance Sensor

Condition-based monitoring (CbM) involves monitoring of machines or assets using sensors to measure the current state of health.

A Step-by-Step Guide for Creating Signed Secure Bootable VxWorks 7 UEFI Boot Loader and Signed Final Images

In an era where security is paramount in many systems, it is intrinsic for users to be able to boot and load software that is guaranteed to be as secure by using a trust-based mechanism.

Automotive Radar Technology, Market and Test Requirements

Automobiles are increasingly equipped with radar sensors that support drivers in critical situations, helping to reduce the number of accidents. Radar makes it possible to quickly and precisely measure the radial velocity, range, azimuth angle and elevation angle of multiple objects.

Is an RTC Module Timing Solution Right for Your Project?

Timing solutions are critical to today’s electronics. Many engineers rely on the internal real-time clock (RTC) functionality that comes embedded in microcontroller units (MCUs) and system on chips (SoCs).

A Modern Solution to Evolving Smoke Safety Regulations

This whitepaper presents the new regulations governing smoke alarms, and it describes how ADI's smoke detection module is designed and tested to meet the new UL-217 8th Ed.

How Software Configurable Hardware Helps Flexibility in Industrial I/O Modules

Whether used for a process control installation or an industrial automation system, an I/O module (or a field junction box) poses a host of unique challenges in a product's life cycle. Product management, for example, faces key decisions on how many channels and which combinations will be necessary for each product.

Test Solution for eUICC Profile Verification

Embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Cards(eUICC) have since replaced traditional SIM cards used in the mobile industry. eUICCs can be integrated into anything from mobile devices to car telematics units, machine-to-machine (M2M) devices (e.g., industrial sensors), and consumer devices.

Ultimate Guide to Real-time Operating Systems (RTOS)

Real-time operating systems (RTOS) allow for multiple events to be handled concurrently in an operating system and ensure that the system responds to events within predictable time limits.
