If I’ve heard it once I’ve heard it a thousand times: Documentation is the least favorite part of engineering. But it also may be one of the most important and is growing to be more so. This was made ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. When designing a control system, where the safety system is to be networked, where would you start? To understand the ...

Monolithic integration has been the dominant approach to chip design since the rise of VLSI-based ASICs decades ago. In a monolithic design, all of the building blocks of integrated circuits such as ...

One of the most important frontiers in materials chemistry is the architectural control of synthetic materials on the nanometer-scale. Nanometer-scale architecture is primarily responsible for the ...

People often confuse the purpose and role of functional specifications and design documents. Design and function should never meet in a document. Design and function must be documented during the ...

In today's enterprise landscape, software development often resembles a game of telephone. Business users articulate needs, and—after those needs go through layers of marketing, product and ...

Many industrial applications in the automotive, automation, appliance, or medical sectors require power supplies that comply with functional safety standards. If the input voltage of such a power ...

What are software test libraries? The key role of diagnostic coverage in characterizing safety-mechanism effectiveness. How to approach target values. The magic behind today’s astonishing automotive ...
