Photovoltaic (PV) power systems, including solar power inverters, are expected to operate reliably and at full rated output for a minimum of 25 years, so they need highly efficient inverters that run cooler, last longer and generate cash savings for the PV system manufacturer and user. Download this white paper from Silicon Labs to find out how advanced digital isolation technologies boost solar power inverter reliability.

This paper provides an in-depth look at Synopsys’ new UMRBus (Universal Multi-Resource Bus) interface – the unique communications architecture that provides users of HAPS systems with: a built-in mechanism that allows bi-directional data exchange for more efficient debug; co-simulation for fast system bring-up; accelerated transaction-based verification and a physical connection to virtual prototyping environments through standard SCE-MI interfaces.

The design and development time for hardware, software and systems is painfully short. A comprehensive design and verification methodology is required to meet the tight development schedule while satisfying or exceeding performance criteria.

An increasing number of ASIC and FPGA designs are accelerating algorithms and applications directly in hardware (HW) circuits. These HW accelerator cores have become commonplace and are now a key part of product differentiation and the ability to meet market expectations in performance, cost and reliability.

Three Steps That Control and Process Automation Developers Can Take to Achieve Safety Compliance While Cutting Costs and Complexity

Although system designers can’t always control the operating conditions of embedded computing applications, they now have new cost-effective options for delivering 3U CompactPCI (cPCI) board compatibility in harsh, extreme temperature environments. A new modular rack system design that adapts affordable, standard convection-cooled boards to demanding conduction-cooled applications offers off-the-shelf availability for both PowerPC and Intel-based platforms, with versatile I/O-intensive capabilities for applications such as graphics, touch screens, serial interfaces, fieldbus controllers, binary I/O and more.

In today’s world of ubiquitous computing, cyberattacks are becoming more virulent, costlier, and larger in scope than ever before. Unlike previous incarnations of hacking, current attacks on computer systems are professionally coordinated, multifaceted, and motivated by the promise of profits on a massive
scale.

A Persistent Publish/Subscribe (PPS) messaging model is an excellent choice for embedded industrial systems which must integrate many disparate devices and components, as well as support a sophisticated Human-Machine Interface (HMI). PPS messaging simplifies the design of these systems and facilitates implementation of HMIs built with Adobe Flash Lite.

Smart screens are becoming the preferred HMI for industrial control applications. These applications must meet stringent requirements for usability, reliability and longevity. We evaluated strategies and tools for building smart screens on systems running the QNX® Neutrino® RTOS. Adobe Flash Lite meets all the requirements essential to our industrial smart screen development strategy.
