JEP181 from JEDEC is a neutral file XML-based standard for thermal models. The chosen file format is ECXML, for ‘electronics cooling extensible mark-up language’. “A de facto standard for a number of years, ECXML is now published by JEDEC as the JEP181 guideline,” according to Siemens, which participated in the creation of the standard. “The standard was created to meet a ...

The British Standards Institution has published its the first taxonomy for specifying the operational design domain of automated driving systems. ‘PAS 1883 Operational design domain (ODD) taxonomy for automated driving systems (ADS)’ is a specification intended to help enable safe automated driving by defining a common language for describing the operating conditions, such type of roads, traffic and weather, an automated vehicle ...

RS Components has introduced Cardmaster and Piccolo ranges of ABS and polycarbonate enclosures from Finnish manufacturer Fibox, manufacturer of thermoplastic enclosures for electronics in hostile environments. The Cardmaster range is intended for packaging measurement, monitoring and process control equipment, and comes in sizes ranging from 166x160x80mm to 390x316x167mm. It has two compartments: one for circuit boards and sensors, with PCB ...

The new Euro 6 car emissions standards coming into force in September will require at least 20 sensors per auto engine, says IHS.

The ONE-NET design specification is distributed royalty-free. Source code examples for microcontrollers, schematics, and bills-of-materials for reference designs are readily available and simple open-source licensing rules apply

Embedded World has seen the creation of Standardisation Group for Embedded Technologies (SGET) by embedded computer manufacturers – Advantech, congatec, Data Modul, Kontron, MSC and SECO. The group is an attempt to create a global resource to develop and maintain embedded computing specifications. “The goal of the founding members of the Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies is to create a new, powerful, worldwide committee for embedded computer specifications ...

ETSI has published the first release of its machine-to-machine (M2M) service standards, which it says are needed for large-scale deployment of services. “M2M communications services are already showing strong revenue growth with the number of deployments steadily increasing. Large-scale managed M2M services will become a feature of this industry, but today the technology landscape is fragmented, which discourages investment,” said ...

Where can you find the most accurate digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) in the world, and the fastest oscilloscope on the planet? Middlesex is the answer, at the National Physical Laboratory - home of UK precision measurement, and keeper...

Matt Johnson, vp of Signal Path products at Fairchild Semiconductor, talks analogue ICs. We ask him about the trend for power efficient design, how high speed serial interface standards - such as uSerdes and USB2.0 - impact signal path design, and analogue chip firm recoveries.

Standards-based technologies are rapidly being adopted by the telecommunications industry, and for good reason, writes Glenn Seiler of WindRiver. Standards-based technologies are rapidly being adopted by the telecommunications industry, and for good reason. Using standards-based solutions allows telecom equipment manufacturers (TEMs) and network equipment providers (NEPs) to use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software systems across multiple network elements – ...
