14Guido Ottaviani | Sound Tone Detection with a PSoCPart 2: The Software & SensingThe first part of this two-part series describes the hardware part of an audio sensor system. This article covers the design's software capabilities and how they can be used to measure the level of the signal, expand the dynamic of the amplifying chain, and reliably share this information in several different modes with the external world. |
Questions & Answers20Nan Price | IC Design Engineering and BeyondAn Interview with Monte DalrympleMonte Dalrymple has been designing integrated circuits (ICs) for more than 30 years. He holds a BSEE and an MSEE from the University of California at Berkeley and has 16 patents. Monte is the designer of all five generations of Rabbit microprocessors and author of the forthcoming book, Microprocessor Design Using Verilog HDL. In October, Monte and I talked about his various interests, from IC design to Verilog HDL. |
24Curt Terwilliger | The (VI)sualizerA Smart Electronic LoadThe (VI)sualizer is a lab instrument that enables you to examine an energy source's voltage (V) and current (I) delivery ability. An MCU accepts input data from local and remote interfaces, commands the desired load current, and monitors operating conditions.Download: Terwilliger-257.zip |
38Michael Bohn Tristan Money Richard Neden Keita Sasaki | Sleep-Stage Alarm ClockAn MCU-Based System for Processing EEG DataThis microcontroller-based design functions as a sleep-stage alarm clock and an EEG recording system. It uses a neural-network sleep-stage classification system, a data logger, a user interface, and a graphical LCD.Download: Money-257.zip |
The Darker Side46Robert Lacoste | CE MarkingA Process to Ensure Product ConformityWhat is CE marking and why is it important? CE stands for Conformite Europeenne, which is French for "European Conformity." CE marking states that the manufacturer of the product ensures that the product is compliant with the essential requirements of the relevant European directives. Learning about CE marking is useful for engineers who are both using and designing products. |
Embedded in Thin Slices54Bob Japenga | Getting Started with Embedded LinuxPart 2: Choosing a Platform for Your SystemYou know when to choose Linux for an embedded design. This article details the platform types that can run embedded Linux. With this information, you can move ahead and choose the proper foundation for your embedded system. |
Above the Ground Plane58Ed Nisley | Stepper Motor DrivePart 3: TorquesThis article describes a simple dynamometer that can reveal how a stepper motor performs while turning different mechanical loads. While it's not completely accurate, the dynamometer should give you an appreciation of the real-world performance of motors.Download: Nisley-257.zip |
The Consummate Engineer64George Novacek | EMI and Data IntegrityElectromagnetic interference (EMI) is the most common cause of electronic data corruption. While error-correction algorithms are frequently used to protect data integrity, most increase data redundancy, which also increases bandwidth and cost. As you'll see, shielding can protect against EMI and minimize the possibility of data corruption by increasing system immunity to interference. |
From the Bench68Jeff Bachiochi | Fly-By-Wire WheelchairPart 2: Bluetooth Wheelchair ControlThe first part of this article series covered the analog joystick design in a power wheelchair. This article details how to incorporate wireless connectivity and a PC application to display joystick positioning. |
