Targeting industrial applications, such as high-performance ac and dc drives or servo drives for precisely controlling electric motors in machines and manufacturing processes, the TC1161 and its TC1162 counterpart offer real-time control, DSP performance and application-specific peripherals. Based on Infineon's TriCore architecture, the units have a high-performance, 66-MHz CPU, 1 Mbyte of embedded Flash memory, and motor-control peripherals in a single package. Instead of a separate MCU, DSP and PWM ASIC, the units' unified software environment simplifies firmware complexity. Peripherals include a flexible timer unit for PWM generation, fast multi channel ADCs, a MultiCAN module (TC1162 only), asynchronous, and synchronous serial interfaces (ASC/SSC), and a Micro Link Interface (MLI) for interfacing to a second controller. Units operate at a 1.5V core supply voltage (3.3V I/O) and are available in a PG-LQFP-176 package for the operating temperature range from -40 to +85C.
Boeing continues to tweak the design of its 737 Max to add fuel efficiency to the next-generation jetliner with a change in the size of fan on the plane’s CFM LEAP-1B engine.
With its QuickPack print engine technology, easy-to-use preprocessing software, and hands-free cleaning system, Stratasys' Mojo is taking professional-grade 3D printing to a new level.
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.
