The basic ideas behind continuous testing and integration include: provide faster feedback to developers; build and test the system piece by piece to avoid big-bang integration and big failure; assess ...

Did you know that you can use LTspice to do Digital Signal Processing (DSP)? Actually, I should say it is useful for validating the operation of a signal-processing algorithm under development. This ...

High-fidelity simulations of dynamic embedded systems can be invaluable. This follow-up to “Modeling Dynamic Systems” (August 2000) presents some techniques and algorithms you might find useful. In a ...

The semiconductor industry has greatly simplified analysis by consolidating around a small number of models and abstractions, but that capability is breaking down both at the implementation level and ...

AI-powered chatbots. Robotic manufacturing equipment. Self-driving cars. Bandwidth-intensive applications like these are flourishing—and driving the move from monolithic system-on-chips (SoCs) to ...

A GPS/inertial trajectory data simulation podium can generate simulation data sets for all levels of GPS/INS integration. Here it verifies the operation and performance of a new ultra-tight GPS/INS ...

The magnetoresistive effect supports a variety of sensor applications in automobiles. Major applications are to be found in measuring the speed and angle of mechanical systems. That makes magnetic ...
