Portwell has chosen Intel Core 3 Processor N355 to be the CPU behind a series of 120 x 120mm Nano-ITX embedded computer boards for edge computing, automation and signage. Sharing the same NANO-6065 series name, there are two other boards: one with a Processor N150 and the other with an Atom x7835RE. “Its processor options allow system designers to tailor ...
Mouser Electronics has teamed up with Tandem Ventures to develop a prototype underwater seed harvester to restore seagrass in UK waters. The distributor supplied components for the prototype underwater harvester, which collects seagrass seed 100-times faster than manual harvesting. The seeds are then grown and replanted to restore the seagrass stocks. Seagrass naturally protects coastlines from erosion by stabilising ocean ...
Hirose is aiming at high-vibration environments with a series of 1mm pitch centre-lock single-row wire-to-board connectors. “Built with high vibration resistance, the connectors’ rib design provides a secure fit when mating the plug and receptacle. When mated correctly, there is a clear tactile click,” said the company, adding: “The series passed the 2,000 Hz vibration test [and] it is a ...
Mouser is now shipping the AMD’s Spartan UltraScale+ FPGAs, based on the company’s UltraScale architecture for high I/O, low power applications. The FPGAs enable I/O expansion, sensor processing and control, and board management and are suitable for devices and sensors connected at the edge, including industrial automation, networking, robotics, wireless applications and industrial IoT. They are also suitable for data ...
Israeli startup Polyn Technology has got tested silicon of its Neuromorphic Analogue Signal Processing (NASP) technology and is ready to ship. The NASP platform employs trained neural networks in the analogue domain to perform AI inference with much lower power consumption than conventional digital neural processors. NASP chips with AI cores process sensor signals in their native analogue form in ...
A multi-domain passive module with functionality embedded in the substrate has been developed by Saras Micro Devices. The Saras Tile, or STILE, enables power regulation from system board to package. Saras’ approach is for vertical power delivery to reduce parasitic losses. Stacking the power stage and passive components in line with the die shortens the power path and reduces parasitic ...
Design, technology and development specialist AND Technology Research (ANDtr) has introduced an embedded electronics-based accelerator programme. The Embedded Accelerator is designed to help UK electronics designers and innovators to scale effectively and refine prototypes and attract investors. The 12-week programme will support up to 10 startups with a cost-effective way to build a physical prototype as well as mentoring support. ...
The semiconductor, electronics design and manufacturing industry association, SEMI, has announced that Greg Barrett will succeed Kevin Bauer as CFO (chief financial officer) and business operations officer. Before joining SEMI, Barrett was senior vice president and CFO of Efinix, a programmable semiconductor company. He also held senior roles at Super Micro Computer, Rambus, Micron Technology and Altera. “Greg’s specialised industry ...
At Microelectronics UK, Embedd.it unveiled its cross-vendor graphical MCU configurator. The company said that it will “remove hardware dependencies in embedded software” and strengthen supply chain resilience. The configurator uses AI to retrieve and organise data on more than 1,400 MCU families from major manufacturers, including Renesas, STMicroelectronics, NXP Semiconductors and Texas Instruments. The configurator is part of a suite ...
A scalable Linux tool launched by Peridio is an open-source OS designed to migrate designs from protoype to production. Justin Schneck, co-founder and chief product officer of Peridio, explained that embedded developers’ either have to choose a packaged Linux distribution which can work immediately but which is difficult to scale and secure in volume production, or build their own security-hardened, ...
