Designers of wirelessly connected, coin cell-operated internet of things (IoT) products can now reduce bill-of-materials (BOM) costs by one-third while also saving space and battery life with the MAX32666 microcontroller (MCU) from Maxim Integrated Products. This ultra-low-power dual Arm® Cortex®-M4 MCU with floating-point unit (FPU) and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.2 (BLE 5.2)…
STMicroelectronics has announced a wireless M-Bus (wM-Bus) software stack that leverages the integrated sub-GHz radio and multiple modulation schemes supported by STM32WL microcontrollers to cut bill-of-materials cost and enhance flexibility for developers of smart-metering systems.
Developed by Stackforce, the wM-Bus stack complies with…
The Infineon Technologies AG is going to expand its XENSIV 3D magnetic sensor family TLv493D with the introduction of the TLI493D-W2BW. The new sensor uses the latest 3D Hall generation from Infineon and is housed in an extremely small (1.13 mm x 0.93 mm x 0.59 mm) wafer-level (WLB-5) package. The new device has an 87% smaller footprint and 46% lesser height than the…
STMicroelectronics has introduced a new generation of high-accuracy proximity and ranging sensors based on FlightSense Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology. The Proximity sensors use simple Infra-Red technology and directly measure distance based on the time for emitted photons to be reflected, enabling accurate distance ranging regardless of the object’s surface…
Bringing revolution in the LiDAR technology, a team of researchers at the University of Colorado (UC) Boulder has developed a new optical phased array concept, serpentine OPA (SOPA) that could support medium- to long-range LiDAR. The new approach is based on a serially interconnected array of low-loss grating waveguides and supports a fully passive 2D wavelength-controlled…
Power Integrations has introduced the InnoSwitch3-AQ, an AEC-Q100- qualified switcher with integrated 750V MOSFET and secondary-side sensing, designed especially for automotive EV applications, such as traction inverter, OBC (on-board charger), EMS (energy management DC/DC bus converters), and BMS (battery management systems).
The high-speed…
Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation has introduced the “TB9120AFTG” a 7 V to 18 V constant current 2 phase stepping motor driver for automotive applications. The new IC gives out a sine-wave current with the help of a simple clock input interface, this eliminates the need for an advanced functional MCU or dedicated software.
The…
TDK Corporation has introduced the InvenSense SmartBug, a compact, out-of-the-box, wireless multi-sensor solution designed especially for the commercial and consumer IoT applications. The SmartBug provides quick and easy access to reliable and smart sensor data without the need for programming, soldering, or extra modifications.
The SmartBug acts as…
