This article introduces a concept about how new technology can be used within the body controller unit (BCU) vehicle system.

This sensor is basically a simple IR transceiver that generates IR modulated signal at 10kHz, then amplifies the reflected signal with a single op amp (MAX4230), which is also configured as a 2nd-order bandpass filter to demodulate the 10kHz IR signal.

ColdFire integrated enhanced multiply accumulate (eMAC) unit as a fundamental function block. Many algorithms of DSP processing and cryptography heavily rely on add and multiply operations, which can be boosted with MAC and eMAC.

This circuit which allows you to set your holiday lights to music does so by digitizing music with a 12-bit A/D converter, monitoring the resulting digital outputs, and producing a logarithmic thermometer-code format to control multiple power outlets.

Cable authentication problem are very common. Embedding a DS2431 (1-Wire) chip in the near end of a cable allows a system processor to identify a cable (manufacturing date, revision, configuration, calibration data, etc.) and to authenticate it (to prevent the use of inferior counterfeits).

A video doorbell is a security system that transfers audio and video from an outside entry to an inside monitor. A video doorbell system provides added security by transferring outside video and audio to an indoor display or speaker.

WCDMA and other liner modulation schemes allow higher data rates and multiple wireless connections per carrier, but cause a high peak-to-average ratio of the carrier signals.

The MAX5421 includes 15kΩ resistors and operates with a supply voltage of +5V or -5V. A similar part, the MAX5431, includes 57kΩ resistors and operates with a supply voltage of +15V or -15V.

A large number of motor control applications are consistently and continuously looking for methods to improve efficiency while reducing system cost.

MRF49XA by Microchip is a highly integrated RF transceiver that can be used in the 433, 868 and 915 MHz frequency bands. FSK modulation is internally used by this module.
