Microchip Technology is offering newly certified functional safety packages to enable engineers to develop their products as per the ISO 26262 functional safety standard. The company recently announced the release of ISO 26262 functional safety packages for dsPIC33C digital signal controllers (DSCs), PIC18, and AVR microcontrollers (MCUs) that accelerate the development of safety-critical designs targeting…

Networked and connected home appliances enable users and manufacturers to communicate with them via the internet. For example, the user of a kitchen oven might look up a new recipe online or a manufacturer might perform remote diagnostics or over-the-air firmware updates. Displays and touch sensors are essential for enabling this functionality in modern appliances.…

The STEVAL-NRG011TV board from STMicroelectronics helps designers quickly build 200W digital-power supplies and adapters for LED and OLED televisions to exceed the toughest energy-efficiency and standby regulations. Based on ST’s STNRG011 digital PFC (power-factor correction) and resonant LLC converter, the STEVAL-NRG011TV combines a proven and reliable topology with the ability to configure and fine-tune the operating parameters for optimal…

Much like the name suggests, DC motor controllers control the speed and direction of a DC motor. To change the direction of the motor, however, the supply it receives must be reversed. And, to vary the DC motor speed, a pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal or wave must be applied to it.  As the pulse width…
