The C++ has been slow to take off among embedded developers. Although many engineers are enthusiastic, many are very pragmatic and take an ?if it ain?t broke, don?t fix it? approach and stick with C. Often there is concern about one specific feature; commonly that feature is exception handling.

Swissbit introduced a family of 3D-NAND-SSD products optimized for demanding industrial- and NetCom applications, with product versions with 2.5-inch housing, and m.2-, SlimSATA- and mSATA-modules. Using Toshiba BiCS3 NAND specified and pretested from -40 and 85?C, the industrial SATA-6-Gb/s-SSDs have Flash controllers that support a 165-bit-LDPC error correction.

Inexperienced electronic-design engineers often assume that a good power-supply rail just ?happens,? while more-experienced ones know that a rock-solid, noise-free rail doesn?t come easy but is essential for stable, consistent, glitch-free system performance. But there?s more to a power supply than just its ability to provide a steady DC voltage despite load and line changes, system transients, noise and other aberrations.

Home security devices are very popular these days as they provide home or office with extra security over the facilities. They are easy to install, readily available off-the-shelf, and can be purchased at reasonable prices.

ON Semiconductor announced a series of Technical Seminars for engineers and product designers of all skill levels. Hosted in key locations worldwide, the seminars will feature leading experts sharing their knowledge through technical practical presentations and hands-on demonstrations.

In this podcast, we sat down with Eitan Kirshenboim, ERM Advanced Telematics, who talked to us about the state of the industry and his company?s role in it. The company recently expanded its activities from telematics solutions for locating and tracking vehicles, drivers and passengers, adding IoT and Cloud-based services.

End-to-end security, going from the Edge of the IoT to the Cloud, is not something you hear a lot about. Why? Because it?s hard to implement. Securing the individual pieces is far easier, but then you?re left to connect those sometimes incongruent pieces.

Embedded systems used in critical infrastructure are undergoing a dramatic evolution. The advent of ubiquitous network connectivity has accelerated innovation of embedded systems at the network edge. And there is a growing need to be able to support the greater intelligence required to transition from automated to autonomous systems.
