Rethinking Load-Dump Protection for 12 V Automotive Electronics
A car’s 12 V system is only “12 V” in the same way the ocean is “flat.” In reality, it’s constantly being kicked around by motors switching on and off, relays snapping open and closed, and an…

This 2,000th Click Board Is a Reminder That Timekeeping Is Still a Design Challenge
It is easy to treat a real-time clock as one of the least interesting parts of an embedded design. It keeps time, wakes the system when needed, and quietly does its job in the background. But…

Microchip Introduces Radiation-Tolerant Clock Generator for Spacecraft Timing Systems
Reliable timing is critical in modern spacecraft. Navigation systems, communications equipment, onboard processors, and scientific instruments all depend on precise clock signals to operate…
Why Endoscope Designers Are Turning to Ultra-Thin Imaging Modules
Medical imaging devices have become remarkably small over the past decade. Procedures that once required larger instruments can now be performed with endoscopes narrow enough to navigate tiny…
Preparing Mobile Devices for a Post-Quantum Future
For most smartphone users, tapping a phone to pay for coffee, unlocking a car, or storing a digital driver’s license feels routine. Behind those everyday interactions, however, is a…
