Increasingly, engineering organizations are distinguishing between concept design and detailed design activities. By creating a Release-to-CAD milestone before committing to detailed design, engineers are fostering innovation, lowering product development costs, getting to market faster, and creating higher quality products. In this white paper, Chad Jackson, President of Lifecycle Insights investigates Release-to-CAD and the technological and cultural shifts that enable it.

The MLX75411 "Avocet" image sensor features an extended High Dynamic Range (HDR) of 154dB and good low light performance. This camera sensor has a resolution of 1024x512 pixels with a maximum framerate of 60fps (full frames). The CMOS Avocet camera sensor targets a wide range of automotive applications: • Automotive Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) • Lane Departure Warning (LDW) • Automatic Headlight Control • Object and Pedestrian Detection • Collision mitigation • Surround view/360 degree view • Mono and Color Night Vision • HDR Rear-view systems • Surveillance, CCTV, Day/Night Cameras

The MLX90360 is the next generation of Triaxis technology. Using lessons learned from over 6 years of applications support and design wins, Melexis has engineered an advanced chip for all Linear, Rotary and 3D non-contact position sensing. The device is available in single and dual redundant implementations to cost-effectively address the full range of applications, including safety critical sensing requirements. The MLX90360 provides analog or PWM output with fully programmable capabilities to simplify application development. Linear or rotary position sensing features direct, point-to-point, connection to the control electronics and in circuit programming through the connector.

The MLX80104 is a fully integrated automotive LIN slave for switch or similar IO-Control/Extension applications in. It is suitable for bus systems according to LIN 2.x as well as SAE J2602. All necessary components are integrated into one single silicon die. The MLX80104 consists of a microcontroller, voltage regulator, LIN physical Layer, LIN Protocol Driver, ADC, PWM as well as high voltage IOs. The combination of a physical layer LIN transceiver and a LIN protocol controller, along with easy to configure switch inputs and PWM outputs makes it possible to rapidly develop simple, but powerful and inexpensive switch slave nodes for LIN Bus systems.

Product engineering organizations face the incredible challenge of ever shrinking market windows for innovation. These opportunities if missed, can lead to huge costs and overwhelming complexity, compromising quality leading to very expensive recalls. This paper examines the challenges associated with connecting models and simulations to the greater development lifecycle and how the solution offered by combining Integrity, a PTC product, with modeling environments and integrating model driven development with engineering processes allows organizations to increase the quality of their products while reducing the amount of time and effort needed to deliver those products.

The capabilities of system integration technologies impact electronics platform complexity, software design methodology, application design, system integration, reuse, upgrades, obsolescence management and certification for time-, mission-, and safety-critical applications. The right system integration infrastructure with deterministic high-bandwidth Ethernet enables design of less complex software-centric systems at lower lifecycle cost. New Quality Of Service (QoS) enhancements and protocol standards such as TTEthernet (SAE AS6802), guarantee strictly deterministic computing and networking performance and satisfy requirements of backplane and backbone applications in aerospace, defense, automotive, energy production and industrial systems.

Controlling CO, HC, PM traditionally required a combination of a DOC and a CDPF, two devices that together yielded sufficient emissions and soot reduction on diesel engines. These systems often require paper filters and expensive controls for the combustion processes utilized for maximizing the emissions reductions. Now, AirFlow Catalyst Systems is reinventing emissions control with technology that eliminates the need for separate systems and delivers a single system to maximize emissions control without paper filters, in less space, and without expensive control equipment. Low temperature efficiency and less maintenenace / downtime are other significant benefits.
