Renesas Technology
This application note presents Renesas' sensorless vector control solution based on the SH2-7086 microcontroller (MCU), which is part of Renesas' the SH2/2A Family, to enable high performance and cost effective control for permanent magnetic synchronous motors (PMSM).
Advantages of Host Simulation Over Other Types of Embedded Software Simulators
Mentor Graphics
During the last decade, embedded software's nature in devices has changed radically. As devices have taken on increasingly more functionality, the complexity of higher level software has grown accordingly.
An in-depth look at Backside Illumination Technology for Imaging Applications
OmniVision Technologies
This paper reviews mobile imaging trends, the limitations of current pixel designs, and how OmniBSI provides superior performance. It introduces the fundamentals of image sensor pixel design and manufacturing, including processing steps and design issues.
Best Practices for Native Code
Art Dyer • Aonix
This white paper describes recommended techniques for integrating native code, typically written in C or C++, with Java code. While generally applicable to any Virtual Machine, examples presented relate to the PERC Ultra virtual machine.
The Developing Technologies of Integrated Optical Waveguides in Printed Circuits
Happy Holden • Mentor Graphics
This paper looks at the issues, materials and current processes being researched to create an integrated Opto-Electronic Circuit Board by European, Japanese and North American organizations.
Preventing Component Circuit Damage from Above Range Current with Reliable Overcurrent Protection
Bourns
As the demand for electronic components continues to grow in more diverse and complex embedded systems, it becomes crucial to protect sensitive applications against overcurrent conditions. Reliable circuit protection is a fundamental design consideration for cost-effective, long-lasting products.
Improving Electromagnetic Noise Immunity in Serial Communications Systems
National Semiconductor
This article provides key recommendations for implementing serial communication systems that exceed Electro-technical Commission (IEC) immunity test standards.
Prevention is Better Than The Cure: Compiler Run Time Error Checking
Mentor Graphics
This paper reviews a number of the error detecting and trapping techniques that are available and discusses how these techniques are implemented in modern compilers. The availability of such functionality in embedded compilers on the market today is also reviewed.
