Medical displays specialize in reproducing clear images with high brightness and contrast while maintaining color accuracy. In recent years, there has been a push for smaller and thinner displays in the LCD and LED panel market. In addition, increased performance and image quality has increased heat generation. Therefore,...
Designers are implementing a wide variety of interface bridging solutions that allow them to transfer data across protocols and, in the process, expand system functionality. The challenge is determining how to most efficiently implement these new bridging solutions without violating system power, footprint and cost requirements....
MIPI D-PHY is a practical PHY for typical camera and display applications. It is designed to replace traditional parallel bus based on LVCMOS or LVDS. However, many processors and displays/cameras still use an RGB, CMOS, or MIPI Display Pixel Interface (DPI) as interface. A bridge is often required to connect a processor...
To ensure the stability of voltage regulators and switched mode power supplies, the control loop behaviour must be measured and characterized. A well compensating voltage controller enables stable output voltages and reduces the influence of load changes and supply voltage variations.
The quality of this control circuit...
Adding security to a device costs extra money, time, power consumption and makes everything worse. The only reason for adding security to a device is the need to improve marketing – security components help to sell more products. To participate in the evolution of Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things and cloud technologies...
Ask system designers to list the problems they face – it doesn’t matter whether they’re building mobile consumer, automotive, industrial, medical or scientific applications – and inevitably they’ll mention optimizing host processor performance. It’s hardly surprising. The event-driven...
Driverless cars are virtually unique in symbolizing the power of future technologies and digitalization to alter our everyday lives. Connected, automated driving holds the promise of significantly higher road safety and convenience. However, trusting an autonomous vehicle is a big step for many people.
Every radar...
This paper discusses the usage of common sensor types and how sensors can be effectively combined in a complementary fashion. It introduces the state-ofthe-art InvenSense™ MotionProcessing™ technology through the integration of gyros from InvenSense and a reference design that enables developers to create advanced...
There is accelerating growth in LED lighting demand as consumers and industry seek more energy-efficient illumination.
The combination of commercial and industrial applications is the fastest growth segment of the LED lighting market. That segment is also the most demanding in terms of circuit protection required...
Power design in data centers is getting substantial attention—particularly by facilities and engineering personnel—as organizations pursue constant improvements in reliability and energy efficiency.
At the same time, however, many IT professionals tend to spend little time or energy on the specific products...
For automated test applications, measurement time is often as important as the quality of the measurement. As with many situations, time is money.
This paper will discuss these settings and provide suggestions on improving overall measurement speed.
The three key instrument parameters that affect FSWP measurement...

Optical image stabilization (OIS) addresses the quality of images, and is an idea that has been around for at least 30 years. It has only recently made its way into the low-cost consumer camera market, and will soon be migrating to the higher end camera phones. This paper provides an overview of common design practices...
Substituting a diode for a resistor in a circuit powered by an AC line is typically an easy recipe for disaster, but it’s the precise challenge faced by designers seeking to replace incandescent lamps with modern high-brightness LED technology.
The VLED15 series from CUI was specifically designed to address...
As LEDs continue to penetrate a wide range of diverse market sectors and become the preferred means of lighting, the requirement for circuit protection cannot be ignored.
This paper was developed to help designers understand common threats to LED lighting systems, and provides the best design practices to implement...
