Energy Harvesting with Texas Instruments
The second law of Thermodynamics states that energy will naturally flow from more organized states to lower level states that are more distributed and disorganized. Traditionally, the energy loss was something that was just accepted, but scientists have increasingly been paying attention to this ‘waste’ energy and have developed ways to harness and recover energy that would otherwise naturally dissipate.
USB Type-C Connectors with Texas Instruments
Have you noticed USB Type-C connectors on the latest laptops and mobile electronics? In addition to having a reversible connector, closer inspection will reveal that USB Type C connectors are replacing many specialized connectors for power, display, and peripheral connectivity. The flexibility of this new interface standard is revolutionizing product design as a few small form-factor ports can now support USB 2, USB 3, power, many legacy ports, and even newer interfaces such as HDMI and DisplayPort.
Power Across the Planet
Power is power, except when it isn't. The general socket power available across the world varies from country to country and even within some countries. There are a multitude or reasons for why this happened but our main concern now is how to deal with it so that our systems can run effectively regardless of where we ship them. Let's examine some of the standards and how we can accommodate them.
Industrial Sensing
Industrial environments provide widely varying environments, but high reliability is a common requirement for equipment used in these environments. Several factors work against this reliability, though – constant mechanical stress, extreme heat, and humidity are common, and equipment is not always installed indoors
