With fully interactive products now the norm, mechanical-control circuitry has emerged as an integral part of embedded-system design. Although designers have since the early days of electronics used ...

We’ve explored each element in detail except for secure storage in the previous posts. Today’s post will dive deeper into secure storage and how it applies to embedded systems. Secure storage is often ...

DESIGN VIEW is the summary of the complete DESIGN SOLUTION contributed article, which begins on Page 2. Cost is king in many embedded-system designs. To reduce costs, designers will typically call ...

The last two articles have explored the five steps to designing an embedded software architecture. So far, we have seen a need in modern embedded systems to separate software architecture into ...

AI is vying for circuit and embedded-system design jobs, but in 2025, it still requires a seasoned engineer to ride shotgun. Insight into AI and its use as a tool to design circuits and embedded ...

The rule of thumb in embedded system design has been that addinghardware increases power demands. The careful use of hardwareaccelerators, however, inverts the rule: adding hardware can reducepower.

In the world of embedded systems, the language debate is alive and well. For years, C has dominated this space, its minimalistic design and low-level control giving embedded engineers the tools to ...

Fueled by time-to-market pressures and the need to reduce overall system cost, many developers are migrating to Linux and open-systems software in their embedded systems designs. This open-systems ...
