Mouser adds Microchip’s dual-core DSCs for motor control

dual-core digital signal controllers (DSCs) for motor control applications. The  dual-core DSCs combine two dsPIC DSC cores in a single chip, with optional support for the control area network flexible data rate (CAN-FD) protocol. The communications characteristics with increased bandwidth make the DSCs suitable for embedded applications with algorithms, such as  motor control, server power supplies, automotive sensors, industrial ...

Mazda home-brews industry first hardware-in-loop car system verification rig

Mazda has used hardware-in-the-loop, including a robot, to test and verify the function of a complete car electronic system. This is in addition to the traditional practice of testing and verifying individual units and sub-systems separately. “Increasingly, one system’s operation is dependent on results from other systems. In addition to testing systems individually, multi-system tests ...
