The new SilverPak 23DE, an integrated Nema 23, High Torque, 1.8° bipolar step motor, microstepping driver and encoder is designed to reduce overall design time and system cost for a wide array of step motor applications needing high torque. The SilverPak 23DE is 2.25 inches in width and is offered in three body lengths: 2.52, 2.96 and 3.89 inches. Depending on its stack size, the integrated motor/driver is capable of producing up to 294 oz-inch of holding torque. The SilverPak 23DE operates from 15 to 48V dc and the available phase current ranges from 0.3 to 3A peak. This integrated motor/driver combination features jumper configurable step resolutions ranging from 2X microstepping up to 256X microstepping and 4 selectable damping modes, optically isolated step, direction and disable/enable inputs, under-voltage and over-temperature protection, and Pole Damping Technology™ (PDT). Options available with the built-in encoder are Tracks up to 100,000 cycles/sec, 32 to 1250 CPR, Max 5000 pps, 2 channel quadrature TTL squarewave single ended outputs and optional index.

Unlike his friends in engineering programs, blogger Jon Titus had little need for calculus except in a few of his college physical-chemistry labs and classes.
In the wake of the Chevy Volt fire investigations, sales are down, and General Motors' (GM) CEO Dan Akerson is blaming the downturn on a spate of bad publicity.
Thanks to embedded electronics, medical devices are getting smaller and smarter than ever. Pacemakers and implantable defibrillators are now able to call physicians. MRIs, CT scanners, and ultrasound machines are gaining mobility. And the venerable Band-Aid may soon be able to detect illnesses ranging from fevers to heart arrhythmias. On February 21, join Design News senior editor Charles Murray for a wide-ranging discussion, "Embedded Angles for Medical Products," which will explore the latest developments in medical electronics. The discussion will examine advances in medical device technology and offer an inside look at the embedded electronics behind it.
