Synaptics announced an AI MCU at Embedded World today, based around Arm’s Ethos-U55 NPU (neural processing unit) and Cortex-M55 CPU, plus a low-power Cortex-M4 CPU and Synaptic’s in-house mini-NPU. “SR110 dynamically adjusts its compute power based on real-time system demands,” according to the company. “This context-aware computing enables ultra-low-power operation while maintaining high-performance AI capabilities when needed.” There are three ...

Aiming at industrial networking, Renesas introduced a Profinet-certified IRT (isochronous real-time) and Profidrive software stack for some of its RZmicroprocessors today at Embedded World in Nuremberg. Initially, the stack is for the RZ/T2M servo motor control MCU and the RZ/N2L industrial internet gateway MCU. Binary versions are available for evaluation, and licenses for commercial come directly from Renesas. Read all ...

Infineon is launching a RISC-V starter kit for a family of automotive microcontrollers to be released “within the coming years”, the company said. “In software-defined vehicles, RISC-V is key to standardisation and ecosystem compatibility,” claimed Infineon’s automotive president Peter Schiefer. The kit will be provided by Synopsys, and is intended to spur the development of virtual MCU prototype for software development ...

Tria Technologies is launching COM-HPC Mini computer modules at Embedded World next week. At there heart are Intel 13th generation Core H, P or U series processors, enabling “system designers to pick from a variety of energy efficient and performance options scaling up to fourteen cores and twenty threads at 15 to 35W thermal design power”, according to Tria. Alongside ...

Mikroe has introduced a dual-mode LTE-M and NB-IoT tranceiver in its ‘Click’ board circuit prototyping format. Called ‘LTE IoT 10 Click’, it is built around Sequans’ Monarch GM02S IC, which supports global 617MHz to 2.2GHz operation. The board is 3GPP LTE Release 14 compliant, and can be upgraded to Release 17, according to Mikroe. Transmission is at up to +23dBm, ...
