Mikroe has picked Microchip’s ATA6586 around which to build a CAN and LIN transceiver development board for its Click series. “This Click board is ideal for automotive body electronics, industrial automation, and other embedded systems that require simultaneous dual-protocol CAN and LIN communication with power management and fault protection,” claimed Mikroe CEO Nebojsa Matic. “Code featuring the CAN-LIN SBC Click ...
Mikroe has introduced a narrowband LTE IoT communication development board in its ‘Click’ format. It is called ‘NB IoT 6 Click’, and its active wireless module is the BC65 from Shanghai based Quectel, a low-power (4μA) device compliant with 3GPP Release 13 and Release 14, supporting LTE bands B1, B3, B5, B8, B20 and B28 across 700MHz to 2.2GHz. LTE ...
Rutronik is stocking an evaluation board for a power management IC (PMIC) for wearables. The IC, Nordic Semiconductor’s nPM1304, has a 4 – 100mA linear battery charger with programmable termination voltage, and four power outputs via two 200mA dc-dc converters and two 50mA LDOs – the LDOs can also be set-up as 100mA load switches. “nPM1304 is configurable via an ...
Mikroe has introduced a ‘Click’ format development board which supports Bluetooth LE Audio Unicast and Auracast. It is based around a Bluetooth 5.4 module from Cambridge UK based IOT747, called IDC777-1, which is itself built around a Qualcomm Bluetooth chip. It is “designed to provide high-quality wireless audio streaming and data communications over Bluetooth in both Classic and LE Audio ...
Arrow Electronics is offering a starter kit development board for Altera Agilex 5 FPGAs. Called AXE5000, it is built around a A5EC008BM16AE6S, an IC with 85,196 logic elements and, for migration from Arria 10 and Stratix 10 FPGAs, a 28,880 LUT ‘adaptive logic module’. CPUs include a 1.4GHz dual core Arm Cortex-A76, and a dual core 1.25GHz Cortex-A55. DSP performance ...
EPC has taken its GaN driver for motorised humanoid robot joints a stage further, squeezing a control MCU and magnetic angular sensing alongside the power stage, all on a 32mm diameter PCB. Once again, the company is using three of its 100V 15Arms EPC23104 monolithic half-bridge ICs, which include power transistors, drivers and level-shifting. Power dissipation is minimised by the ...
Mikroe has added a smart 85V 10A stepper motor driver to its range of interchangeable ‘Click’ boards. Called Power Step 2 Click, the board “is based on the powerSTEP01, a 1/128 microstepping controller from STMicroelectronics that integrates eight n-channel mosfets with ultra-low Rds(on)”, according to Mikroe. “It features a 5MHz SPI interface, multiple safety protections, and additional control pins for ...
Embedded World 2025: LED design is highlighted by Rutronik with its RAB5 adapter board. It features ams Osram Osire LEDs which are designed for dynamic, ambient lighting. LEDs are customisable to meet specific applications, using the manufacturer’s graphic user interface (GUI). LEDs are individually addressable chips for colour and driver selection. The LEDs can be used for interior and ambient ...
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, ...
Toshiba has got together with development board maker Mikroe to create a platform for its TB9M003FG automotive three-phase motor control and driver IC. AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified, the IC has a 32bit 40MHz Arm Cortex-M0 CPU and a vector co-processor for sensorless vector control, as well as gate-drivers to control external n-channel mosfets. AEC-Q101 qualified mosfets are included on the ...
