Assured performance in extreme
environments
Page 6
This article shows that delivering truly
rugged solutions requires a focused strat-
egy beginning with R&D and ending with
robust products. Reliability in extreme
environments means more than put-
ting commercial motherboards into an
upgraded enclosure; it demands a relent-
less pursuit of assured performance.
Industry 4.0 and the IoT: paths
to secure data communication
Page 11
Against the background of Indus-
try 4.0 and the IoT, the need for
secure communications and the
associated networking of systems
and components is increasing.
New requirements on hardware
and software performance are the
result, as described in this article.
MCUs build foundation for

integrated hardware/software platform
The key to building a presence in a
new market with an innovative new
technology is to construct that tech-
nology on a solid foundation. To
achieve that goal, embedded design-
ers need an extensive line of compat-
ible and scalable MCUs to maximize
software and hardware reuse.
Security for microcontrollers

with IP protection and licensing
All products are designed to beat the competition. The effort
that went into their development should pay off for as long
as possible. This article explains how to shield microcontrol-
lers with a level of protection on a par with larger systems
– without having to dive into the depths of cryptography.
