Trends in Building Automation: Predictive Maintenance
Have you ever wondered where manufacturers get those nice rounded-off numbers for maintenance timelines? Who decided that every 5,000 miles was the best time to change your vehicle’s oil? The truth is, in some cases, it isn’t. With technology advancing by leaps and bounds, there has been a major focus on implementing a method of proactive maintenance based on perceived future need, not a specific time period or mileage.

1-kW brushless DC motor inverter reference design by Texas Instruments
This reference design illustrates a motor inverter with MSPM0G, an Arm Cortex-M0+ core microcontroller. The design not only supports a sensorless Field Oriented Control (FOC) algorithm with 1-3 shunt resistors, but also a sensored motor driving algorithm with a Hall or Quadrature Encoder Interface (QEI) sensor.
Streamlining Robotic System Design With TI
Robotic system designers are faced with growing design complexity as they strive to meet the demand for robots with higher levels of automation. This increased complexity is especially prevalent in robots that closely collaborate with humans like collaborative robots (cobots) and autonomous mobile robots (AMR).
New serial EEPROM family features unique ID
STMicroelectronics has introduced a series of serial EEPROMs that contain a 128-bit read-only ID (UID) to meet market requirements for product recognition, tracking, and repairability.
TIDA-010932 by Texas Instruments
This reference design provides a high efficiency power stage solution for smart thermostats and other gateway building automation end equipment using a 24 VAC power source. This power stage takes a 24-VAC input and produces a 5 V and 3.3 V output rail, which can power additional point-of-load converters if added.
Nexperia introduces flip-chip package tech for automotive ESD protection
Nexperia has announced a new portfolio of high signal integrity, bidirectional electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection diodes in innovative flip-chip land-grid-array (FC-LGA) packaging.
Würth Elektronik adds to its robust LED family
Würth Elektronik adds to its WL-SMTW LED series with two new variants. The SMT-mountable mono-colour top-view LEDs are now available in a 1608 package. New LEDs are being added in the standard 3528 package, which feature an increased operating temperature of up to 100°C. The water-clear glass used enables precise colour rendering at maximum intensity in five or six different colours.
