Renesas: inverter kits ease integration of 3-phase motors in
equipment
Renesas Electronics Europe announced two motor control reference platforms
designed to drive any 3-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM),
also called Brushless AC motors. They enable engineers to reduce or even
eliminate the time they would normally take to calculate motor parameters and
evaluate the best tuning algorithm coefficients. As a result, they can rotate
a permanent magnet AC motor in less than one minute.
Cadence: verification planning and management with Incisive
vManager
Cadence Design Systems introduced an all-new Incisive vManager solution, a
verification planning and management solution enabled by client/server technology
to address the growing verification closure challenge driven by increasing
design size and complexity. The Incisive vManager solution, with its
metric-driven verification methodology, improves verification productivity by
2X or greater over traditional methods
MSC: development kit simplifies implementation of PAN1026
Bluetooth module
MSC Technologies is presenting the BMSKTOPASM369BT development kit from
Toshiba at embedded world 2014. The BMSKTOPASM369BT is a completely new
