In part one of this series, we explored several considerations for selecting the ideal wireless technology for a design. We reviewed frequency spectrum, licensed and un-licensed spectrum, as well as several common bands. We also discussed communication range and various factors that influence range such as the output power and the sensitivity of the receiver. Part one ended with a discussion about network topology, exploring mesh versus point to ...

onsemi and GT Advanced Technologies ('GTAT'), a producer of silicon carbide (SiC), have announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which onsemi will acquire GTAT for $415m in cash.

The internal combustion engine (ICE) has been the propulsion workhorse of the global automotive industry for over a century. Innovations in vehicle electrification are morphing the automobile into an ever more technologically enhanced transportation solution. However, not all electric vehicles (EV) are created equal, and several variations of a hybrid powertrain and fully electric powertrain are evident. Marc Bracken, Technical Marketing Eng...

The electric vehicle (EV) revolution is leading the automotive industry into a new age. New vehicles will have an electric powertrain option or come as a standard offering, thanks to advances in technology and power generation. Car makers are adding more EVs to their lineups while setting goals for carbon neutrality and bold electrification strategies. Marc Bracken, Technical Marketing Engineer – Automotive Systems Engineering, ON Semi...

ON Semiconductor introduced the latest addition to the XGS sensor series of CMOS image sensors. The XGS 16000 is a 16 Megapixel (MP) sensor that provides high quality, global shutter imaging for factory automation applications including robotics and inspection systems. Consuming only one watt at 65 frames per second (fps), the XGS 16000 delivers performance at low power. This makes the XGS 16000 good for power consumption, while also offering a h...

There are many different wireless standards and protocols in use today, and it can be difficult to choose the right technology for any particular application. In this article, we will look at some of the key criteria to consider, and review four popular options: WiFi technology, Bluetooth Low Energy technology, Proprietary RF, and the Green Power protocol from the Connectivity Standards Alliance. By Dan Clement, Senior Principal Solutions Market...
