In recent years, brushless DC [BLDC] motor control has been gaining traction in markets where improvements in battery life are required, such as cordless power tools. This is largely being driven by demand for increased efficiency, lower noise, and higher reliability. Just a short time ago, BLDC motors used in high performance...

Designers for electronic products are challenged by requests for customized and differentiated complex products in short time frames. In this environment two factors become crucial: flexibility and simplicity. For many years ASICS or FPGAs allowed engineers to meet very specific product design requirements. However, the...
Programmable logic devices (PLDs) offer inherent time-to-market and design flexibility advantages over application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and application specific standard products (ASSPs).
The increasing complexity of system requirements has driven the need to increase the logic density and I/O...
To ensure the stability of voltage regulators and switchedmode power supplies, the control loop behavior must be measured and characterized. A well compensating voltage controller enables stable output voltages and reduces the influence of load changes and supply voltage variations. The quality of this control circuit...
Vector Network Analysers (VNA) are gaining popularity in the Signal Integrity community as Time Domain Measurement and Analysis tools.
VNAs with 8 ports or more can provide significant decreases in test time by migrating from a 4-port measurement system to an 8-port measurement system. For tight tolerance DUTs...
CCS C Compilers for PIC® MCU and dsPIC® DSC V4.1xx
This whitepaper includes the ANSI compliance matrix and includes the sub sections enviornment and language. For each of the variables it is categorised whether there has been full compliance, compliance except for noted item or if it has not been implemented. ...
Multi-hop mesh protocols, such as Zigbee® , are getting a lot of press for their ability to link together low data-rate Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications. Zigbee, in particular, is targeting itself as the standard bearer for wireless, low-power meshing protocols. Many of the features of a Zigbee solution touch...
Lattice Semiconductor has developed a display interface in the MachXO2 PLD family. Because this interface is now supported in MachXO2 devices, designers have an even lower cost and very low power alternative to implement embedded displays.
This whitepaper provides an overview of this display standard and explain...
Embedded systems security provides mechanisms to protect an embedded system from all types of malicious behaviour, including internal and external threats.
In this report, you’ll learn about embedded systems security, related security terms, software and physical security, and four qualities of embedded systems...
Along with compactness, higher functionality and density, as well as reliability, non- volatility, faster access speed, and lighter weight make AMC with flash a significant new technology.
Comparison between Hard Disk Drive (HDD), Solid State Drive (SSD), and Flash-on-board options to help the AdvancedTCA community...
Any engineer involved with portable or handheld products knows that minimizing power consumption is an absolute requirement for today’s designs. But only the veterans understand the subtle yet important details that can stretch a systems’ battery life to the maximum.
In this white paper Lattice Semiconductor...
In the not too distance past, procuring a low phase noise 1 GHz source was very expensive, limiting it to only very high-end applications that could support the cost of incorporating this technology in the design.
Employing a compact, low-phase noise, high-frequency source in your design will combine the best attributes...
This white paper provides an overview of the basic building blocks of a phased array system and discusses how the nature of their design leads to a challenging test environment. Real measurement configuration examples are shown to highlight the flexibility required for T/R module testing.
