Robotics projects can get complicated quickly, and finding a set of components, controllers, networking, and software that plays nicely together is a real headache. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Mark Easley of Texas Instruments about the TI-RSLK Robotics Kit, which will get you up and running on your next robotics project in no time.

In industrial applications, crystals are not ideal for generating clock signal timing. They take up valuable PCB real-estate, and aren’t stable in harsh thermal and vibration environments. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Nick Smith from Texas Instruments about bulk acoustic wave (BAW) technology that offers an attractive alternative to crystals.

DLP technology can add a whole new dimension to your embedded design. If you considered DLP in the past, but were put off by the cost, you need to watch this episode of Chalk Talk where Amelia Dalton chats with Philippe Dollo of Texas Instruments about the DLP LightCrafter 2000 EVM. This new kit makes DLP more accessible and less expensive to design in, and could have a dramatic impact on your next embedded design.

Doing IoT development today can involve a number of different communications standards. There is no “one size fits all” for wireless protocols. Every application has its own needs and constraints. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Adrian Fernandez of Texas Instruments about the new LaunchPad SensorTag development kit - that can launch your IoT design regardless of what wireless standards you need.

A high-voltage circuit design requires isolation to protect human operators, enable communication to lower-voltage circuitry and eliminate unwanted noise within the system. Many options are available when designing a power supply for digitally isolated circuits including; flyback, H-bridge LLC, push-pull, and integrated isolated data and power solutions. This article explores common questions when isolating signal and power in a design as well as a brief overview of available power solutions.

When we advance EV powertrain architectures, carmakers can cut system-design cost in half while maximizing power density, increasing efficiency, improving reliability and making EVs more affordable for more people.

Formerly Project CHIP, Matter is a new connectivity standard that runs on Thread and Wi-Fi network layers to provide a unified application layer for connected devices. Read this article to discover how you can get started with Matter and TI.

Are you considering a Hall-effect sensor for your next design? Read this technical article to learn how Hall-effect sensors work to accurately measure position, distance and movement. In this article, you’ll gain insight into Hall-effect sensing theory, topologies, common use cases and the different types of Hall-effect sensors available today: Hall-effect switches, latches and linear sensors.

With functional safety and security concerns in automotive electronics gaining attention, including in standards bodies, it’s important for automotive designers to enable functionally safe and secure automotive electric powertrains. Learn about three key safety and security considerations designers need to keep in mind when developing in the automotive space.

Conducted versus radiated EMI. CISPR-25 and CISPR-32 standards. High-frequency or low-frequency emissions. Designing a system to reduce EMI can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Watch this video to get an overview of EMI causes, standards, and mitigation techniques.

Bidirectional power conversion, higher voltage batteries, current and voltage sensing, and a sleek storage system design are top considerations when adding energy storage to solar power grids. Read the latest whitepaper from Texas Instruments to unleash the power of storage-ready solar power grids.

If you are new to radar or interested in replacing your existing sensing technology with radar, there can be a significant learning curve to both designing your product and ramping to production. In order to lower this barrier, Texas Instruments created a third-party ecosystem of radar experts who can provide solutions no matter how much help you need.
