TI eliminates motor tuning with
new 12-V motor driver family
Texas Instruments expanded its motor driver
portfolio with a new 12-V motor driver fam-
ily that reduces spin-up time to just seconds
and makes tuning stepper and brushed DC
motors easier than ever before. The DRV8846
incorporates a new, proprietary adaptive cur-
rent control technology that automatically
tunes motor performance for precise, smooth
and quiet motion. The DRV8848 simplifies
designs by using a simple pulse-width modu-
lation control interface and minimal external
components.

PEAK-System: position and
orientation data via CAN
The new PCAN-GPS from PEAK-System
determines position and orientation data by
means of various sensors. This data can be
transmitted on a CAN bus and can be logged
on the internal memory card. Available are a
satellite receiver, a magnetic field sensor, an
accelerometer, and a gyroscope. The satellite
receiver can handle the systems GPS, Galileo,
GLONASS, QZSS, and SBAS.

Pico: USB 3.0 SuperSpeed oscillo-
scopes with 512 MS deep memory
PicoScope 3000D Series oscilloscopes are
high-performance test and measurement
instruments for mainstream electronics
design engineers. With up to 200 MHz band-
width, 2 or 4 analog channels plus 16 digital
channels on the mixed-signal models, and
deep memories from 64 to 512 MS the Pico-
Scope 3000D Series are ideal for debugging
the latest digital and mixed signal designs.

PLS: UDE supports Infineon TLE986x
and TLE987x Embedded Power ICs
PLS Programmierbare Logik & Systeme
presents the latest version 4.3.4 of its Uni-
versal Debug Engine, an optimized test and
debug tool for the new Infineon TLE986x
and TLE987x Embedded Power IC series.The
highly integrated Embedded Power family
was specifically designed for intelligent motor
control in a wide range of automotive appli-
cations. The devices come in a standard QFN
package with a footprint of only 7 mm x 7 mm.
In addition to an ARM Cortex-M3 core, the
devices include flash memory of up to 128
kB, up to six NFETs, a current sensor, a suc-
cessive approximation 10-bit ADC, a capture
and compare unit for pulse width modulation
(PWM) control and several 16-bit timers.

Express Logic: X-Ware platform
now supports Atmel, Renesas, ST
and TI development systems
Express Logic has expanded its support for
X-Ware Platform, the company’s target-spe-
cific, integrated run-time software that com-
bines all X-Ware components (ThreadX, NetX,
USBX, FileX, GUIX, and TraceX) pre-ported
and fully integrated for use on specific devel-
opment boards. X-Ware Platform helps devel-
opers avoid the significant development and
integration work normally associated with
the use of generic software products on a
specific board. First introduced with sup-
port for the Renesas RZ/A1-based RSK board,
X-Ware Platform is now available for Atmel
SAMA5D3x-EK, STMicro STM324xG-EVAL
and TI AM335x Starter Kit.

FTDI: EVE platforms support devel-
opment of HMIs with capacitive touch
FTDI Chip has further enlarged the portfolio
of development modules accompanying its
Embedded Video Engine technology - which
has helped revolutionise how human machine
interfaces are implemented thanks to its inno-
vative object-oriented approach. These latest
EVE platforms are targeted at the creation of
intelligent display systems using capacitive
touch and are based on the FT801 EVE chip
released earlier this year.

SEGGER: SSL/TLS solution
targets embedded devices
SEGGER introduces emSSL, a ground-up
implementation of secure sockets that are the
backbone of secure communications on the
Internet today. Written to run effortlessly on
single-chip embedded devices, emSSL inte-
grates seamlessly with embOS/IP or, alterna-
tively, any IP stack that supports plain sockets,
or any bidirectional communications channel.
emSSL supports TLS version 1, 1.1, and 1.2 out
of the box and provides modern cipher suites
that offer robust authentication, confidentiality,
message integrity, and forward secrecy. Whilst
being compact, it is also highly efficient in
terms of RAM, ROM, and processor load.
