1394 cameras: Simple designs with high bandwidth, low latency, scalability
The author, vice chairman of the 1394 Trade Association, argues that 1394 Automotive Camera Systems provide features and functions required for automotive applications while maintaining competitive price performance.

Dynamic Power Dissipation Considerations for Solid State Relays
Understand the key attributes of this all-electronic switching component and how to take advantage of them

Controlling brushless dc motors in diverse applications
Brushless DC motors are well suited to meet the efficiency and performance requirements of today's household products and other motor applications. For sensorless control, on-chip arithmetic accelerators enable fine-tuned performance without the expense of an external DSP.

Motor control in air conditioners with dual sensor less FOC and active PFC
Improved energy efficiency and reduced system costs are the driving factors in modern motor control designs. Sophisticated motor control concepts with sensor less Field Oriented Control (FOC) and Power Factor Correction (PFC) help to fulfill these demands. The article shows how these concepts can be used in an air conditioner design for vehicles.

Managing Complex SoC verification using plan based verification techniques
Meeting the quality requirements of a complex SoC requires managing large verification projects. In this article, Freescale and STMicroelectronics recount a recent experience with a verification management solution (Incisive Enterprise Manager) from Cadence, for the verification of a 32-bit microcontroller project for the automotive industry.

Training engineers: Designing embedded control systems for auto apps
A new undergraduate course at the University of Michigan focuses on designing embedded control systems for automotive applications like adaptive cruise control.

Embedded Processing Trends, Part 2: Hyper-integrated MCUs
This series of three articles will look at three significant trends emerging in one of the most critical and competitive sockets in modern electronic systems. Part 2: hyper-integrated microcontrollers.

Sensor signal conditioning need not be difficult (Part 2 of 2)
New tools can help with the challenge of matching sensors with analog circuitry
