July 2010

The July 2010 edition features Power & Autotronics and Networking & Databuses, as well as Telecommunications, Manufacturing & Automation.

The first article in Power & Autotronics, by Pierre Turpin at LEM Energy & Automation, presents a new class of Rogowski coil-split core current transducers: the RT series. The second article in this feature, by Martin Hill at Microchip, briefly considers a low resource microcontroller for a three phase brushless DC motor speed controller.

Networking and Databuses contains two articles: The first, from information supplied by Zeus Technology, considers mobile data application delivery control as a solution to keep mobile data flowing - from the mobile network operator (MNO) point of view. The second article, by David Pursley at Kontron, discusses CompactPCI as a suitable solution for military and aerospace applications. 

Three articles appear in Telecommunications, Manufacturing & Automation. The first reviews the ICOM digital advanced system (IDAS) in terms of analogue/digital migration, conventional IP networking and trunking. Then, in the last part of a series of articles on electronic packaging systems, Christian Ganninger at Schroff GmbH discusses current applications and ongoing developments in a wide range of industries including military and telecommunications technologies. Finally, Alex Martinez at Microchip Technology considers ‘shrinking geometries' as a major trend in serial interface innovation.
