With the rise of connected devices, IoT testing has taken on increased importance. Our expert test engineer gives a real-world example of how to efficiently test IoT products, including augmenting manual testing by leveraging technology.

While an end-to-end IoT solution provider is often the fastest path to market, such solutions force IoT devices to be coupled to the external dependencies of a single provider. Our expert engineer highlights how tapping the expertise of a contract engineering company can decrease time to market without increasing staff during migration.

How is the software in my smart thermostat developed? In the worst-case scenario, deadlines, cost and competitive products force electrical engineers to shrink the printed circuit board (PCB) to fit within a predefined package. These postage stamp-sized boards bring a multitude of challenges for development. Learn how development printed circuit boards can help while reducing cost.

With a growing list of use cases calling for active noise cancellation technology, selecting the right solution for your product can be a challenge. Our expert engineer delves into the different ANC options and how to determine which option is best, as well as tips, tricks and best practices for implementing ANC into products.

Why is quality assurance so important? At Cardinal Peak, we engineer quality testing into each step of the engineering process to reduce uncertainty and ensure your product gets to market.

From conference rooms and control systems to stage band applications, this post discusses numerous potential new use cases for Analog Devices A2B technology that extends beyond use in automotive applications.

Delving into how the A2B audio bus technology works, this post highlights the technology's advantages and its use in automotive applications.

Have you ever wanted to turn your lights on/off using either a physical switch running Zigbee or by a BLE application on a smartphone? Read more to discover how you can build an IoT lighting device to do precisely that.

Exploring Silicon Lab's BLE/Zigbee multiprotocol implementation using their development kit based on EFR32xG21 SoCs, this post details how the protocol reduces the hardware cost as you only need one radio to support two protocols.

Thanks to capacitive touch technologies, sensors are now replacing buttons and switches in many consumer electronics. Learn how the tech works and our team's experience in adapting the technology to an unusual environment.

A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a gate array where static random-access memories (SRAM) based fabric replaces metal interconnections between logic elements. It’s infinitely flexible and doesn’t wear out. Our engineer addresses key FPGA programming challenges, like how to avoid reprogramming the SRAM every time you power up.
