Engineers designing real-time control systems are constantly faced with the challenge of optimizing performance. These systems require minimal latency, where the time delay between sampling, ...

I like to think of engineers as doctors of the electronics world. Let me explain: Think about the last time an optometrist examined your “human sensors.” Did they prescribe glasses to compensate for ...

Examine a computer-controlled machine built in the last 20 years and you’ll note a common design practice. The machine’s real-time control functions, its vision system (if there is one), and its human ...

When it comes to process-control systems, reliability is crucial and failure can be costly or dangerous. A combination of good design practices, component selection, and testing can enhance ...

The new TMS320F28P55x series of C2000™ MCUs with an integrated edge artificial intelligence (AI) hardware accelerator enables smarter real-time control, with up to 99% fault detection accuracy. The ...

Embedded control system design requires a cross-disciplinary development effort involving design, software, and test engineering staffs. Conventional embedded control system development involves the ...
