The ATmega644/1284-based narrow boards are the small development boards and microcontrollers for small footprint Arduino projects. The Narrow boards give you 2 to 8 times more flash and RAM resources as compared to Uno/Nano and offer total compatibility. The code generated on 8-bit MCUs is much smaller than on 32-bit MCUs. Hence, the bigger program can be loaded on a 128k 8-…
KEMET has advanced its latest environmental sensor solutions for industrial applications by launching a range of environmental Pyroelectric passive infrared (PIR) sensors. These sensors allow for easy integration, configuration, and more design-in possibilities. Built with hybrid micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology, these high-quality environmental sensors…
The STMicroelectronics STEVAL IDB008V1M Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 (BLE) evaluation Kit increases the application development with modules featuring BlueNRG-2 Company’s second-generation BLE System-on-Chip (SoC). With the support of Bluetooth 5.0 Certification, the BlueNRG-2 SoC can possess enhanced security with LE Secure Connections, power-efficient privacy with Link Layer…
SlothBot is a slow-moving and energy-efficient robot built by robotics engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Taking advantage of the low-energy lifestyle of real sloths, the solar-powered SlothBot demonstrates how being slow can be ideal for certain applications. It can linger in the trees to monitor animals, plants, and the environment below. Using…
The flyback converter is the most common AC/DC power supply that is integrated into the IC along with few peripheral components to build a power supply that has the general functions with just adding a suitable transformer. But the engineers are always puzzled to balance the design cycle, cost, reliability, ease of use, dimensions, performance, and personalization of power…
The TE Connectivity has introduced the EB16, an expanded beam optical pin and socket termini for a variety of military, commercial aerospace, harsh environment industrial and space applications. The EB16 is available in both single-mode and multimode variants, which are based on the latest design that includes springless mating and crimpless cable retention.

The Cambridge-based startup, Paragraf has collaborated with the Magnetic Measurement section at CERN to demonstrate the potential of graphene-based Hall effect sensors to improve accuracy in magnetic measurement applications. Overcoming the shortfalls of existing Hall effect sensors that exhibit planar Hall effects that produce false signals, Hall effect Sensor from Paragraf…
Nexperia has introduced a new range of GaN FET devices that consists of next-gen high-voltage Gan HEMT H2 technology in both TO-247 and CCPAK surface-mount packaging. The GaN technology employs through-epi vias for reducing defects and shrinking the die size up to 24%. The TO-247 package reduces the RDS (on) by 41mΩ (max., 35 mΩ types. at 25 °C) with high threshold…
Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation has introduced two lens reduction type 1500-pixel monochrome CCD linear image sensors, TCD1105GFG and TCD1106GFG, for industrial equipment. These new sensors provide faster operation of equipment that incorporates sensors, including inspection equipment with monochrome CCD linear image sensors and they consume lower power.
These…
Renesas has expanded its ZMOD4410 Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) sensor platform with the power of embedded artificial intelligence (e-AI) to provide smart odor sensing for ventilation systems, bathroom monitoring and controls, and air quality monitors. The enhanced platform combines neural network-trained firmware on various microcontrollers (MCUs) like Renesas RL78MCU to…
Putting tens of thousands of tiny memristors (memory transistors), the team of Engineers at MIT has come up with a chip named ‘brain-on-a-chip’. The silicon-based components that mimic the human brain's information are put onto a single chip. Proving to be a stepping stone, the chip when run through various tasks has the ability to "remember" and reproduce stored images.…
Digi-Key Electronics announced that it has partnered with Truphone to bring cellular IoT connectivity services to manufacturers worldwide. The partnership will provide customers with connected cellular devices and a fully managed service.
Digi-Key will use Truphone’s state of the art SIM technology, allowing users to connect IoT devices to…
