Article: Characterizing power control devices

Electrical-mechanical controllers depend on power semiconductors. Motor controls of all sorts - robotics, switching power supplies, welding and induction heating systems - all need a ready way for their power to be controlled. For the most efficient design, the semiconductors and amplifiers that drive these devices must be accurately characterized by the type of load they will be expected to handle.

Tips: Guidelines for using C++ as an alternative to C in embedded designs

Embedded software applications are most commonly written in C. For many years, C++ has been seen as the natural successor and has found greater acceptance, but the increase in its usage has been much slower than anticipated.
