Signal Conditioning and Power Stages for dSPACE Prototyping Systems
The wide variety of sensors and actuators used in the automotive field, especially during the rapid prototyping phase, means that each sensor or actuator often requires its own signal conditioning and power stage circuits. Ideally, only a minimum of hardware development, or none at all, should be necessary to connect sensors and actuators to the prototyping system. In reality, the design and implementation of such circuits can be an expensive and time-consuming task. Configuring the signal conditioning and power stage hardware later on during the course of a project also usually involves a lot of work. The flexibility and intelligent assistance provided by the RapidPro hardware and the corresponding software from dSPACE will help you achieve challenging tasks for signal conditioning and power stages with high efficiency.

Intelligent I/O Subsystems for dSPACE Prototyping Systems
The functions being developed and integrated into cars are growing in complexity and volume. The acquisition and generation of I/O signals is also growing in complexity, for example, in engine management applications. Moreover, sophisticated algorithms usually need to be processed in a minimum of time. All these demanding tasks need to be performed within a standard prototyping environment and require intelligent tools for assistance. With RapidPro and further dSPACE hardware and software, you can build an intelligent I/O subsystem based on an MPC565 microcontroller.
