As LoRa technology is extending the reach of the Internet of Things by combining long-range wireless connectivity with low-power performance. To accelerate the development of LoRa-based connected solutions, Microchip introduced a highly integrated LoRa System-in-Package (SiP) family with an ultra-low-power 32-bit microcontroller, sub-GHz RF LoRa transceiver and software…
BlueNRG-Tile is a new all-in-one IoT-node development kit from STMicroelectronics. Built around ST’s BlueNRG-2 Bluetooth low energy 5.0 single-mode SoC, the small tile/coin provides control and processing power to a full complement of sensors, while also communicating via Bluetooth with a free iOS or Android demo app on a nearby smartphone. For multi-node applications,…
If you think about future technologies then the two names, which immediately comes in your mind, are Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT). AI is still in its initial stage and there is lot more to be developed. But IoT is in Growth stage and lot of IoT based products are already there in the market. Also there are many tools and hardware …
Minimizing power consumption in portable electronics devices is a top priority for product designers. In order to meet the expectations and help increase the battery-life, Microchip introduced a linear Low Dropout (LDO) regulator that extends battery life in portable devices up to four times longer than traditional ultra-low quiescent (Iq) LDOs. With an ultra-low Iq of 250…
Silicon Labs released new LTE-M expansion kit featuring Digi XBee3™ pre-certified cellular modem to provide ultra-low-power, long-range wireless connectivity to battery-powered IoT devices. The LTE-M expansion kit works with Silicon Labs' EFM32 Giant Gecko 11 starter kit and simplifies and accelerates the development of gateways and end devices that operate in…
