Planes, Trains, and Processors

Embedded Processor Boards, Intel Inside, and Concurrent Technologies
by Amelia Dalton

A vapor trail streams across an empty sky. Steel wheels slowly grind to a halt in the early morning fog. We’re headed to the heart of critical embedded system design in this week’s Fish Fry. Nigel Forrester (Concurrent Technologies) and I chat about overcoming the challenges of high performance embedded computing, the importance of security in Intel-based processor cards, and what the “Under 17 Car Club” is all about. Also this week, we attempt to unravel  the mysteries of industrial power supply design.

Energy-Saving Piezo Haptic Driver is the Touch Sensor's Best Friend

Sponsored by Maxim Integrated

Haptic sensing technology, with its ability to render complex tactile experiences, is becoming popular in portable applications. Excessive power dissipation is a concern with current piezo haptic drivers' implementations. Although the piezoelectric actuator represents a capacitive load, considerable power is dissipated to drive it. This design solution reviews the shortcomings of current piezo haptic driver implementations and introduces a novel, regenerative, boost converter-based implementation that minimizes power dissipation, helping maximize the battery life of portables.
