Precision analog in medical applications is critical to the interface of biological sensors and embedded processing. Explore the various sensor interface techniques and solutions available.
This session will focus in on the analog drive section of the motor, reviewing the H-Bridge architecture, on-chip protection circuits, decay modes, thermal performance, on-chip control logic, and overall performance and reliability of today�s integrated motor drive ICs. This section will also briefly cover the rest of the analog motor signal chain, including isolation devices, sense amps, and high performance ADCs.
Main benefit of LEDs is that you can save energy by dimming the light. So what about an intelligent light which is aware of its environment and communicates to other lights on the need for illumination? From simple temperature measurement, ambient light and occupancy sensing using TI MCUs and DSPs to wired and wireless communication protocols TI�s software and hardware solutions help to design Intelligent Lighting.
Extracting maximum power from energy harvesters places unique demands on the power management architecture. Several practical issues arise related to the energy levels that can be achieved from the harvester, the requirements on storing the energy and conversion into a form useable by the system. In this presentation, various energy harvesting devices will be briefly introduced along with applications which are suitable to utilizing this technology. Key considerations for the storage devices used in energy harvesting systems will also be discussed. Lastly, critical attributes and requirements for the power management will be presented.
