Empowering engineers’ innovations with products and technologies
TI will showcase how its innovative semiconductors, intuitive software, and design expertise can help developers transform designs to make them smarter, safer, and more adaptive. Highlights include:
- Scalable processing technology for any application
- Smart multi-display HMI systems with AI using scalable processors: TI is demonstrating how new embedded Arm®-based processors with integrated AI accelerators enhance computing performance and can run up to three displays simultaneously for even the most complex HMI systems, supported by a unified software platform for maximum reuse.
- Microcontrollers (MCUs) for industrial, medical, and automotive systems: TI has added more than 100 new MCUs to its portfolio of Arm Cortex-M0+ MCUs since their introduction at Embedded World 2023, with options to match any design requirement for memory, analog integration, or size, reducing cost and design time at both the component and system level.
- Building smarter, safer robotics
- TI will highlight the use of highly integrated embedded processors like the TDA4VM in the mobile robot safety controller (MRSC) of Amazon Robotics’ Proteus autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). The exhibit will show the importance of innovative semiconductors in safety systems for next-generation AMR applications.
- Additionally, TI will display embedded technologies and reference designs for perceptive sensing, precise motor control, real-time communication, and AI capabilities.
- Power conversion, connectivity, and control for energy systems
- TI will showcase a bidirectional GaN-based solar microinverter using wireless connectivity to monitor the voltage of each inverter and rapid shutdown procedures through an Internet Protocol v6-based Sub-1GHz wireless network, and how to commission a microinverter through Bluetooth® Low Energy using a smartphone, all on a single dual-band device.
- Another demonstration will show a tested and ready-to-use reference design for variable-frequency air conditioner outdoor unit controllers in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) applications. It illustrates a method to implement sensorless three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor vector control for compressor and fan motor drives, and digital interleaved boost power factor correction (PFC) for meeting new efficiency standards with a single C2000™ MCU.
- The fastest path to embedded development
- TI experts will discuss the wide range of hardware, software, and design tools available in the TI Developer Zone to help engineers easily develop with the company’s portfolio of processors, MCUs, wireless connectivity, and radar-based devices.
