Designed for remote- and multiple-axes positioning applications that require programmable peak currents of up to 800 mA, the AMIS-30623 integrates a local-interconnect-network (LIN) interface and sensorless stall-detection. The AMIS-30623 targets mechatronics control solutions that connect remotely to a LIN master and operate in temperatures from -40 to 125C. The sensorless stall detection function allows silent, yet accurate position calibration, as well as semi-closed loop operation when approaching mechanical end stops. Users select motion parameters, such as torque and acceleration-deceleration profiles, in the integrated motion-qualification mode (MQM). MQM helps eliminate noise and vibration at end-stops and improves motion-control accuracy and reliability without using optical encoders, position sensors or software algorithms. Units are available in either SOIC-20 or NQFP-32 packaging.
Almost every automaker has had to 'pick a side' when it comes to alternative fuel options and ways to divest from a reliance on gasoline. Fiat is looking to back compressed natural gas or liquid propane as an interim solution.
Designing and filling a new type of water bottle might take less engineering work, but the description will help kids understand how science, math, and engineering influence their lives even through things that seem mundane.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
