Debug embedded systems with industry’s most advanced Mixed Signal Scopes (MSO)

Digital oscilloscopes have seen lots of changes in their feature set. But how far are they satisfying the needs of the design validation engineers, in terms of integrated solution, as a part of their validation at different stages of their design? Today's embedded designs employ more of the serial signaling standards like I2C, SPI, CAN, USB and parallel I/Os like DDR for memory. They also have ADC and DAC when we talk about the real time applications. FPGAs have been the de-facto component of the embedded systems. Engineers have to choose for different tools depending on whether they are looking at the electrical layer issues or protocol level issues. Today's MSO's act as a versatile tool and addresses most of these needs by using Hardware accelerated decoding for debugging protocols like I2C, SPI, UART etc and tools like FPGA dynamic probing which gives the greater access into the internal FPGA signals along with the on Board External-FPGA signals. MSO have proved to be the near” one box- integrated solution" for debugging, especially, the embedded system designs, reducing the validation time.

Small yet Highly Functional – Keeping Your System Cost Low with Embedded ICs

Driven by the growing demand for small scale systems across emerging markets in Asia, Fujitsu Microelectronics is adding more “compact” offerings of cost-effective microcontrollers. Through integration of external peripherals, these ICs reduce components count and thus lowering overall BOM cost without compromising on product reliability.

Alongside, it offers a development environment in a single-package to implement a shorter time-to-market and development flexibility necessary to meet the fast changing market dynamics.

Highest Quality MCU Portfolio Drives your Ideas to Business

With the continue increase demand of energy in the world, improving the efficiency of the drive plays an important part in the energy ecology system. According to survey, up to 60% of energy use in drive related applications. Be it a motor drive, AC-DC converter etc, all these systems require highest quality controller to achieve a best performed system. Infineon has developed one of the best in class DRIVES controller enabling system engineers to develop new algorithm and circuit to achieve best energy efficient system in the ever changing business environment.

Introducing nanoWatt XLP™ MCUs for eXtreme Low Power

This presentation will cover the new nanoWatt XLP™ microcontrollers that provides as low as 20nA sleep currents. These three new 8- and 16-bit PIC® MCU families provide designers with a rich and compatible low-power migration path that includes on-chip peripherals for USB and mTouch™ sensing solutions. This industry-leading combination of low power consumption and functionality makes these PIC MCUs ideal for any battery-powered or power-constrained application.

Three of nanoWatt XLP Technology’s key advantages are: Sleep currents down to 20 nA, Real-Time Clock currents down to 500 nA, and Watchdog Timer currents down to 400 nA. The vast majority of low-power applications require one or more of these features. nanoWatt XLP Technology combines all three in a comprehensive portfolio of devices. Whether it is extended battery life, sealed batteries, or the integration of energy harvesting, Microchip’s 8- and 16-bit PIC MCUs with nanoWatt XLP Technology provide more freedom for designers that need their products to operate longer using less power, or requiring fewer battery changes.

Low Power Flash FPGA Technologies

From chip-level to system-level designs, power is the #1 design criterion. Low-power flash-based FPGAs will optimize the power delivery and make cost efficient when your product needs time-to-market and continuously upgrade for long-term profitability. The presentation will show how Low Power Flash FPGA helps to design the secure, firm-error immune, live-at-power-up, reprogrammable devices in the industry.

Embedded Processing with Xilinx

The market today is highly volatile and fast moving. Be it Consumer, Automotive, or Communication domain, the expectation from products advance multi-fold in a very short span of time. Product companies are struggling to keep-up and launch better & cheaper products. There is an increasing demand for re-programmability of products and faster design cycles. This brings-in what is being termed as the “Programmable Imperative” in the technical design world. We are observing an inclination towards using FPGAs instead of traditional ASICs due to there inherent benefits of re-configurability, field upgradeability & pretty fast design cycles. This presentation would help you understand where modern-day FPGAs stand in the Embedded product market. We would highlight the advantages Xilinx FPGAs provide, stressing on low-cost & low-power designs.
