Online tool helps simplify motor control designs based on STM32, STM8 MCUs
ST-MC-SUITE from STMicroelectronics is the entry point for easy access to all resources for motor-control application development with STM32 and STM8 microcontrollers. The tool lets users gather tutorials and documentation, store project setups (HW and SW), get links to download software solutions including the newly updated X-CUBE-MCSDK package, and buy evaluation hardware online. Intuitive features include the choice of a […]
Review: Examining power and energy use with the Joulescope
The Joulescope is an inexpensive test instrument designed to let developers of embedded systems get a good look at the energy and power consumption of their hardware during important events such as interrupts and wake-up sequences. Developed by a company called Jetperch, Joulescopes are about to become available through a Kickstarter campaign launching Feb. 19. […]

Reference design for galvanically-isolated CAN transceiver
The R-REF03-CAN1 Reference Board demonstrates the ISO1042 isolated CAN transceiver supplied by the R1SX-3.305/H isolated dc/dc converter. To supply the reference board only one 3.3-V external supply is required. The green LED indicates the presence of the VCC2 supply on the secondary (CAN bus) side. The reference board allows designers to quickly develop and analyze […]
Eval boards check power modules for trimming, sequencing, soft starts and sensing functions
RECOM’s eval boards for the RPM‐1.0, RPM‐2.0, RPM‐3.0, and RPM‐6.0 buck regulator series generate a constant output voltage with an output current up to 6A from an external DC source. The multitude of functions offered by the RPM power modules such as trimming, sequencing, soft‐start, enable, and sensing can be evaluated. More importantly, the behavior […]
SDK for Sigfox Monarch networking includes reference designs and productivity tools
STMicroelectronics is now the first chip maker to develop and market a certified solution for seamless global, ultra-low-power, and long-range wireless IoT connectivity enabling the Monarch worldwide tracking and positioning service from Sigfox. ST’s solution lets users create region-independent smart objects that connect automatically to the local Sigfox network anywhere in the world, empowering inter-regional mobility, […]
Thermal simulation package brings CFD to autonomous electric vehicle design
New Simcenter software for thermal simulation of Autonomous Electric Vehicles (AEVs) is said to be the first such package engineered to address critical, thermal-driven challenges associated with AEV design. “Strategy Analytics expects that the vast majority of self-driving cars will feature electrified powertrains,” said Ian Riches, executive director, Automotive Practice for Strategy Analytics. “The OEMs […]
Simulating electric motors with MotorSolve software
We recently filmed a short video with Chad Ghalamzan from Infolytica, which is now part of Mentor Graphics, a Siemens business. Infolytica develops simulation software called Motorsolve for magnetics as you might find in motors used in electric vehicles. Motorsolve is electric motor design software that allows an engineer to do virtual prototyping of their […]
