Q4 2019 ADJ articles
Implementing STO functionality w/ diagnostic and monitoring for ind. motor drive
Motor drives are an integral part of industrial and automation processes. These processes often involve the control of machinery, for which safety is always a concern. Functional safety in motor drives helps avoid accidents.
How an auxless PSR-flyback converter can increase PLC reliability and density
The primary challenge when sensing process variables in harsh industrial environments is the capacity to condition low-amplitude sensor signals in the presence of high noise and large surge voltages.
Challenges and solutions for PoE systems in Ethernet switches
With more devices than ever trying to connect to the Internet of Things, powering these devices has become a hot topic.
EMI filter components and their nonidealities for automotive DC/DC regulators
When releasing a product to market, it is necessary to pass the specific electromagnetic interference (EMI) standard to which the product is confined.
Precision signal conditioning for safety-enabled AIMs in factory automation
Some systems benefit by adjusting the output voltage of one or more DC/DC converters while the converters are enabled and the system is operating.
A small-footprint PoE solution for machine-vision cameras and sensors
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology with an increasing number of products on the market. Small devices with low power consumption are getting more equipped with PoE.

Technical advisory council?
TI's technical advisory council for the Analog Design Journal is comprised of three industry veterans who help guide our deep, technical content. Their goal is to bring readers topics that are current and relevant to your designs and provide advice to authors on how to thoroughly answer your burning questions.
Robert Taylor
I enjoy extending my knowledge and teaching newer engineers by removing design obstacles in their path.
Collin Wells
[While enrolled at University of Texas at Dallas] I was involved in robotics and tutoring. My hobbies include gardening, fishing and fixing small and large engine machinery.
Bobby Mitra
My parents taught me to always teach, and to gain insights by observing many perspectives to solve a problem. It’s what engineering is all about.
