Houston, TX (Sept. 27, 2012) – Solving a prevalent digital motor control design problem for customers, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NASDAQ:  TXN) introduces 32-bit C2000™ Delfino™ microcontrollers as resolver-to-digital converter interfaces for motor control systems,  lowering system cost while delivering more efficient motor control capabilities. These high-performance, floating-point Delfino microcontrollers with an on-chip, high-precision analog-to-digital converter, along with an external low-cost signal conditioning circuit, provide motor control designers an alternative to more expensive and complex semiconductor solutions.

Both resolvers and encoders are used in typical precision servo motor control … Read More → "Decrease system cost and complexity in resolver-based motor control systems with TI’s C2000™ Delfino™ microcontrollers"

Warwick University, 26th September 2012: The UK electronic systems trade association NMI has today launched the Automotive Electronic Systems Innovation Network (AESIN). The creation of the network is supported by many of the country’s largest car manufacturers and supply chain partners, including Jaguar LandRover, Lotus, Nissan, McLaren Electronic Systems, Freescale, Infineon, Renesas and Visteon.

“Vehicle design has changed dramatically in recent times and cars are no longer simple mechanical machines; they are now dependent on electronic systems that make them greener, safer and more comfortable,” said Derek Boyd, CEO of NMI. “A further revolution … Read More → "NMI launch UK automotive electronics innovation network to drive change and global competitiveness"
