<p>You can purchase test equipment that will allow you to examine the loop gain and loop phase properties of an operating feedback loop and, that purchased equipment will deliver useful results over a very wide range of frequencies. However, the feedback loops in the power supplies I’ve encountered only needed to be characterized over fairly limited frequency ranges. That being the case, going “homebrew” with some low-cost components worked out quite well.</p>

<p>In the functional safety world, once a system is developed, it remains protected as long as the system is in service. In contrast, the security world demands that software must continue to defend a system against constantly evolving methods of attack long after a product is released. With the explosion in demand for in-vehicle connectivity, non-critical systems such as entertainment now share the same communications infrastructure as critical steering, braking and control systems, driving aut...

<p>I’ve expressed no shortage of admiration in past writeups (stretching back…oh…<a href="https://www.edn.com/edn-access-07-03-97-data-storage-in-a-flash/" data-wpel-link="internal">a quarter century or so</a>…) for the flash memory industry’s incremental cost, capacity, performance and reliability accomplishments over the years. I suppose I’m (more than) a bit biased because my post-college (not including during-college-co-op) engineering “origin story” involves eight years with Intel as an app...

<p>Automotive embedded applications have traditionally been isolated, static, fixed-function and device-specific implementations, and development practices and processes have relied on that status. But the explosion in demand for connectivity now sees non-critical systems such as entertainment systems sharing the same communications infrastructure as steering, braking, and control systems. These changes bring the potential for safety and economic risks resulting from cyberattacks, but standards ...
