12h00 - 12h30 Protecting your system from overvoltages, miswiring and power off conditions
while maintaining precision performance.
Sean Brown, Analog Devices
This presentation will introduce overvoltage fault protection devices that make it easier to design
robust systems that can handle continuous overvoltages (±55V), miswiring and loss of power events
while maintaining precision performance. Including protection within the switching component eases
the design burden for circuit protection. Reducing the external protective impedance element allows
the designer to target higher performance circuitry. The active protection enables digital feedback of
the state of the switching component for enhanced circuit diagnostics.
12h30 - 13h00 Leveraging New Products and Innovative Design Tools
to Accelerate Motor Drive Development Cycles
Mike Gilbert, Texas Instruments
In this presentation TI discusses the evolution of microcontrollers that do more than just motor drive
loop control (both advanced in C2000 & ARM AM3/4/5). Moreover, additionally functionality includes
independent processor cores for advanced communication, integrated delta-sigma filtering, encoder
communications, high-resolution data conversion, and safety. Emerging functionality include predic-
tive motor diagnostics. TI Designs are tools that help illustrate these powerful new functions and help
design teams evaluate them quicker and easier.
Session 7 - Security for the Internet of Things: Challenges and Solutions
13h00 - 13h30 Security for the Internet of Things
Martin Klimke, Infineon
Internet of things (IoT) is the ability of creating networks of devices that can communicate with each
other, thereby enabling exciting new application and services. To prevent misuse, this communication
must be secured. In the speech it is shown, how dedicated security controller are beneficial to protect
security and also ease the introduction of related security technologies.
13h30 - 14h00 The benefits of public key cryptography to embedded systems
Christophe Tremlet, Maxim
Embedded systems of tomorrow are expected to be more secure. They might be protected against
cloning and reverse engineering, support secure communications so that unauthorized people cannot
access confidential data, be able to protect users’ privacy by securely storing their data. While these
requirements are different, only strong cryptography can fulfill them with a high level of assurance.
Implementing it might sound straight forward, however there are multiple difficulties to overcome. We
explain in this presentation how public key cryptography supported by secure ICs can overcome these
difficulties.
14h00 - 14h30 IoT security should be hard, by definition
Kerry Maletsky, Atmel
The Internet of Things is as much an idea as a reality today. And it will come to everyone‘s life in the
form of integrated modules that include a mix of control, communications, sensors and security. Unless
IoT nodes are secure, they and their data cannot be trusted. Without trust there will not be wide adop-
tion of IoT. Therefore the most secure technology available must be implemented in IoT devices for
them to become real things and not just an idea. This presentation will describe hardware-based key
storage, why it is superior, what it does, and why the future of IoT depends on it.
