At Embedded World today, Samtec announced mid-board optical transceivers for embedded and rugged applications, including phased array radar and medical imaging. ‘Mid-board’ describes optical links that replace PCB tracks for very high speed signals. The new transceivers, branded Halo-C, are aimed at PAM4 modulated 56Gbit/s (112Gbit/s in development) per lane links with 16 channels (eight bidirectional). Read all the latest news from Embedded ...
Onsemi has released 1.2Mpixel time-of-flight (iToF) matrix sensors for 3D imaging fast-moving objects. “By using proprietary global shutter pixel architecture and on-board storage, the Hyperlux ID family can capture an entire scene and simultaneously process depth measurement in real-time,” according to the company. “This approach enables depth sensing up to 30 meters. Additionally, the sensor family is capable of producing ...
Infineon is now supporting Nvidia Tao AI models on its Psoc Edge microcontrollers, which combine Arm Cortex-M55 CPUs with Arm Ethos-U55 NPU. “The combination of these microcontrollers with Tao models and a fine-tuning toolkit greatly simplifies the creation, customisation, optimisation and deployment of high accuracy vision AI models,” claimed Infineon. “The integration of Nvidia Tao features will become available for ...
Microchip has added high-performance analogue blocks to its PIC32 MCUs: 12bit 40Msample/s ADCs, 5ns comparators and 100MHz GBW (gain.bandwidth) op-amps. There are implemented in in the new 32bit 200MHz PIC32A family. On top of the analogue blocks are hardware safety and security features such as ECC (error code correction) on flash and ram, built-in memory self-test, IO integrity monitoring, clock ...
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, ...
Infineon has augmented touch sensing and liquid level sensing it a new series of MCUs. Devices in the 4000T family have hardware and software to implement: enhanced capacitive touch sensing, inductive touch sensing and capacitive liquid sensing. “Developers now have endless possibilities to develop new HMI and sensing solutions, from sleek metallic designs with touch-on-metal buttons, to waterproof touch-buttons and ...
