Reliability is expected when systems are new. The real test comes after deployment and years of continuous operation.

Starting on June 20 and running through June 24, Design News will present the free course, Embedded Software Design Techniques. Each class runs an hour, beginning at 2:00 Eastern. You can also earn ...

The problem with desynchronizing your code by moving parts of it into different tasks is that many of the resources your software wants to use—certain hardware, data structures in memory, files—can’t ...

An elegant solution to many embedded software systems problems is leveraging data-centric software design. Data is at the heart of every embedded system. First, data is acquired through sampling ...

What is 'mission-critical' and do we need to rethink the concept in an era of long-lifecycle embedded systems?

Toshiba has developed a SiC MOSFET that arranges embedded Schottky barrier diodes in a check pattern to achieve both low on-resistance and high reliability. The company reports that the design reduces ...
