Most engineers think of flat cable as inexpensive wiring that runs between computer peripherals. But not all flat cable is created the same. There is a special category of flat cable that excels in uses where space efficiency isn’t the only consideration. What’s called Extruded Flexx-Sil™ cable is designed...
This in-depth white paper guides you through the choices and weighs key design considerations to help you pick the right transceiver. It reviews the most typical RS-485 ICs and explore the most common design considerations. Then it examines electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection and compare the Human Body Model (HBM)...
When designing a switch into an application the engineer must determine what type of contact material is necessary for optimum performance of the switch. There are a number of materials to choose from, this article will look at the three most common types of contact materials.
In order to obtain the best performing...
As more and more devices are added to the plant floor, secure and reliable signal connections are of absolute importance. Devices today must handle a wide variety of functions and include features that will ensure cost-efficiency, reliability, and safe operation. Based on customer comments and surveys, this article identifies...
Substituting a diode for a resistor in a circuit powered by an AC line is typically an easy recipe for disaster, but it’s the precise challenge faced by designers seeking to replace incandescent lamps with modern high-brightness LED technology.
The VLED15 series from CUI was specifically designed to address...
Industrial automation exists within a broader technological framework and has benefitted from advances in industrial networking and mobile computing. The combination of these technologies is helping to make the vision of concepts like the “Connected Factory”, “Industry 4.0” and the Industrial Internet...

Ever since the first watermills and windmills were used to generate electricity, energy harvesting has been an attractive source of energy with great potential. In recent years, energy harvesting technology has become more sophisticated and efficient, and energy storage technologies, such as supercapacitors and thin-film...
The X-500 & X-55 SSDs use an internal DRAM, but only management data is cached in the DRAM, no user data (as done in other SSDs). User data is always processed through the small internal controller cache directly into the flash chips.
Together with the user data, also the page mapping information is saved into...
This white paper presents a reference design of an IoT sensor system optimized for wearable applications. It describes the challenges that may arise during the feasibility study and design phases of a wearable device and gives practical advice for hardware designers.

MIPI D-PHY is a practical PHY for typical camera and display applications. It is designed to replace traditional parallel bus based on LVCMOS or LVDS. However, many processors and displays/cameras still use an RGB, CMOS, or MIPI Display Pixel Interface (DPI) as interface. A bridge is often required to connect a processor...
The needs of the market have begun to change at a faster pace, therefore making it necessary to engage in product development in a timelier fashion than ever before.
This report introduces the technologies tirelessly developed by SANYO DENKI despite such market conditions in order to meet the changing needs of the...
Silicon carbide diodes have been around for some time now but have had little take-up in power supplies due to their relatively high cost. XP Power has recently adopted a silicon carbide (SiC) diode for the first time in the design of its latest family of modular, configurable power supplies known as fleXPower.
