Maxim Integrated has released the MAX3260, a low-power Arm Cortex-M4 Microcontroller (MCU) with a floating-point unit. The device protects all embedded memory for both flash and SRAM with error-code correction (ECC) for providing the highest reliability at a power consumption of 40µW/MHz. The MAX32670 executes commands for flash at 40% lower power and It is the lowest power…
Melexis announces the MLX90395 Triaxis Magnetometer Node, an automotive-grade (AEC-Q100) monolithic Hall effect sensor that provides contactless sensing in three dimensions. The sensor is also available in a dual-die version which provides redundancy for demanding scenarios such as gear level position sensing in automotive applications. The Triaxis technology leads to the…
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.
