dSPACE has received certification from TÜV Süd for its SIMPHERA software solution according to ISO 26262, a standard for safety-related systems. SIMPHERA is a cloud-based simulation and validation solution, used to validate functions for autonomous driving.

Many PCB design software packages are available, ranging from software that can be downloaded for free to high end tool suites costing tens of thousands of dollars. But which is best for your application? This article first looks at what is involved in PCB design, and then suggests some approaches you could use to find the right package for your project.

Energy storage systems are essential to the operation of power systems. With the growth of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and tidal power, their importance is continuing to grow. Here’s a quick look at some of the main applications of energy storage systems.

When people talk about “solar”, they’re usually referring to photovoltaics, the solar panels that you have probably seen sitting on several rooftops. But have you ever thought about how these actually work to generate clean electricity? This article takes a look at what a photovoltaic cell is, what it’s made from, the technology behind it, how it works, and more.

While solar energy is widely considered as synonymous with photovoltaic technology, it actually also encompasses a range of concentrated solar power configurations which can extract thermal energy from solar radiation. This article looks at both solar technologies, discusses how they work, and considers their potential.

Wind and solar power are bringing about a clean energy revolution. Here is everything that you need to know about renewable energy, the different types, and the advantages and challenges of it, plus a look to the future.

A flagship of semiconductor research with international reach is emerging in Dresden. Fraunhofer IPMS and Fraunhofer IZM-ASSID are bundling their competences and establishing the Center for Advanced CMOS & Heterointegration Saxony. The center will offer the complete value chain in 300 mm microelectronics, a prerequisite for high-tech research for future technologies.

“Moore’s law is dead!” This is a line of thought championed by many prominent individuals in the fields of electrical and power engineering. But it’s quite a controversial one; just as many people believe Moore’s Law is still true today in 2022 as those who believe that it’s dead and no longer valid.

Electric mobility is on the rise and different cell types such as lithium-ion battery cells, hydrogen fuel cells and other cell types must be produced safely and efficiently by manufacturers so that they can keep up with the rapid market development. The MES/MOM specialist iTAC Software AG supports the optimization of battery manufacturers' production processes with the iTAC.MOM.Suite.

NXP Semiconductors has announced that a specialized security algorithm co-authored by NXP security experts has been selected by NIST to become part of an industry global standard designed to counter quantum threats. A second algorithm co-authored by NXP will also advance to the fourth and final round for further analysis and consideration for standardization.
