IoT Building Block: Touch Interface HMI
By Jason Chien - 08 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

Many IoT devices have started to include touch screen interfaces as part of their UI to make the devices more intuitive and easier to use. A great interface can make customers really love and want to use your IoT product, but a poor HMI interface makes the device unusable damaging the brand value. Given this impact a touch interface can have on your IoT device, it made me wonder what are the... » read more

Overcoming The Challenges Of Capacitive Touch HMI Design
By Vibheesh Bharathan - 07 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

The capacitive touch human-machine interface (HMI) is a critical aspect of modern electronics. It is how we interact with our devices, making it an integral part of wearables, smart home products and IoT products. The primary goal of an HMI is to provide an intuitive and responsive interface that supports human interaction. However, designing a touch HMI system that meets the consumer's expecta... » read more

Understanding Memory Protection Units
By Ashwin Kumar - 06 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

Let’s talk about the various security measures we take to protect our homes. We use locks, install security cameras to detect any suspicious activities, etc., all to safeguard our loved ones and valuable possessions. In similar sense, the tiny microcontrollers inside our devices have protection units (PU) that safeguard the precious resource: memory. One of the most important types of prote... » read more

Empowering Greener Future: Role Of Energy Storage Systems
By Jonathan Schmitt - 06 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 0

Recently, I came across a report that highlighted the energy price inflation rate by commodity in the European Union, which for January 2023 was measured at a staggering 20.6%. This figure was in stark contrast to the inflation rate recorded in January 2019, which was a mere 2.4%. It made me reflect on the challenges we've faced in the past year with the rising energy demand and subsequent su... » read more

Shaping Industry 4.0 By Empowering The Smart Factory
By Danie Schneider - 01 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

The goal of Industry 4.0 is to create autonomous production in which people, machines, systems, and products communicate with each other independently. The result are intelligent value chains and product life cycles that begin with development, continue through manufacturing, assembly, product delivery and maintenance, and finally end with recycling. In this way, not only production is contro... » read more

Securely Store Your Credentials And Cryptographic Keys In TPM 2.0
By Sneha Prahalad - 04 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) can securely store cryptographic keys that are specific to the host system and provide restricted access to the stored keys and secrets. You can never read out private keys, or in other words retrieve them as is from the TPM. Let’s say you need to generate a signature: you can indicate the private key you wish to use from the TPM to sign the message. You can... » read more

The Power Of Sensors In Transmission Systems
By Ladurner Sebastian - 13 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

I have always had a passion for cars. As a child, I used to spend hours playing with toy cars and imagining all sorts of incredible adventures. But as I got older, my love affair with cars only grew stronger. I became fascinated by the mechanics of these amazing machines and all the different parts that come together to make them run. And one of the parts that always intrigued me the most were ... » read more

When Less Can Be More With Smart Module Design: Part 1
By Jan Baurichter - 06 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

Size and power often seem like opposite sides of a coin. When you reduce size – one of the ever-pressing goals in our industry – you inevitably reduce power. But does that have to be the case? By shifting our thinking from the chip to the module design, there’s no need to flip a coin. In IGBT modules, chip shrinkage leads to an increased thermal impedance, which then impacts performanc... » read more
