MCUs integrate, CAN FD, Ethernet, EtherCAT industrial communication protocols
Texas Instruments introduced new communications capabilities on its C2000 microcontrollers (MCUs). C2000 F2838x 32-bit MCUs enable designers to use a single chip to implement connectivity, including EtherCAT, Ethernet and Controller Area Network with Flexible Data Rate (CAN FD), in AC servo drives and other industrial systems. Systems with communication interfaces often require an external application-specific […]
Automotive SBC helps designers add CAN FD without changing their microcontroller
Texas Instruments introduced an automotive system basis chip that is the industry’s first to integrate a controller and transceiver for Controller Area Network with Flexible Data Rate (CAN FD). Designed to meet the high-bandwidth and data-rate flexibility needs of in-vehicle networks, the TCAN4550-Q1 uses the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus of almost any microcontroller to […]
Fast 12-bit ADC features 8-GHz bandwidth, 10.4-GS/sec sampling rate
Texas Instruments today introduced a new ultra-high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with the industry’s widest bandwidth, fastest sampling rate and lowest power consumption. The ADC12DJ5200RF helps engineers achieve high measurement accuracy for 5G testing applications and oscilloscopes, and direct X-band sampling for emerging technologies in radar, microwave, and mmWave. “In general, what we are doing is […]
Key factors to consider when choosing a microcontroller
When designing an embedded system with an MCU, which one should you pick? This guide provides you with a quick overview to help you narrow down your choices. A microcontroller (MCU), is the smallest and most basic computer. Running on a single chip, it has a CPU, memories (RAM and ROM), and interfaces (input/output ports) […]
Mistakes to avoid when submitting a design for PCB assembly
Simple prototype Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) require, on average, 11.6 physical prototypes, whereas more complex PCBs require as many as 16.[i] And according to Advanced Assembly, a prototype PCB assembly house, “94% of assembly data is accidentally submitted with errors.”[ii] PCB assembly houses will extract design data from PCB design files and create a PDF […]
RF-sampling transceivers enable multiantenna wideband systems
Texas Instruments has introduced two new RF-sampling transceivers that are the first in the industry to integrate four analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and four digital-to-analog converters (DACs) in a single chip. With the industry’s widest frequency range, highest instantaneous bandwidth and 75 percent smaller design footprint than a discrete solution, the quad-channel AFE7444 and dual-channel AFE7422 […]
60 GHz Radar on Module targets industrial automation applications
Mistral Solutions announced its USB-powered, production-ready 60GHz Radar on Module [RoM] for industrial automation applications. The 60GHz RoM is a highly-integrated ultra-compact solution based on TI’s newly launched IWR6843 Antenna on Package (AoP) chipset. Mistral’s 60GHz small form factor RoM is among the first Industrial Radar Modules based on Texas Instruments IWR6843 Antenna on Package […]
Antenna and board design incorporate 60 GHz mmWave sensors
Ainstein announced an antenna and board design for 60-GHz mmWave radar over-the-door sensors (ODS) using Texas Instruments’ IWR6843 family of devices. With Ainstein’s innovative radar system design, customization, and manufacturing capabilities, building automation designers can now leverage TI’snew 60-GHz mmWave sensors in overhead mounting positions for highly customized applications. This combination enables near real-time decision-making and signal […]
