The Brains of Modern Industry
Modern factories have come a long way from the days of demanding dangerous jobs of manual riveting, welding, assembly, and many others. Today, precision robotics, sophisticated sensors, and data processing handle much of that work, powered by an ever-improving world of industrial computers.
Today's industrial factories stand in stark contrast to their predecessors. Past factories relied heavily on manual labor and simple machinery, characterized by repetitive tasks and limited automation. Modern factories, however, leverage advanced technologies such as industrial computers, robotics, and AI-driven systems for automation and process optimization.

STMicroelectronics' New Automotive Linear Voltage Regulator Preserves Battery Energy in Challenging Conditions
The TL99VR03 300mA low-dropout (LDO) regulator provides resilient and efficient power, with a wide input-voltage range and very low quiescent current consumption, only 3.5µA at no load. The IC has an enable pin for turning the regulator off, which reduces the idle current to 800nA, and integrates soft-start circuitry to limit current during power-up and fault recovery.
