These ultra-low VCE(sat) NPN and PNP transistors deliver industry-leading conduction efficiency and thermal performance, optimized for demanding automotive power switching and control.
The twelve high…
A new neuromorphic chip has shown it can perform continuous voice activity detection while using extremely low power, addressing a major challenge in devices that rely on batteries or operate at the edge of a network. The chip identifies human speech with very fast response times by running neural network calculations in the analog domain. This method keeps voice detection running without…
Cyient Semiconductors has entered into an agreement to acquire a controlling stake in Kinetic Technologies. Expected to close in the months ahead, the acquisition can involve a transaction of up to $93 million. The existing leadership and engineering team within Kinetic Technologies will continue operating within their current structure, while synchronizing with Cyient Semiconductors' strategy…
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan have unveiled the world’s smallest fully programmable autonomous robots. Measuring just 0.2 × 0.3 × 0.05 mm, these microscopic swimming robots are barely visible to the naked eye yet can independently sense their environment, process information, and perform programmed tasks. Each robot integrates sensing,…
Espressif introduces the ESP32-based AI voice assistant with on-device processing by the ESP32 Private Agents Platform. It helps developers and students to build customizable AI assistants for the ESP32. The traditional way, which is the embedded AI assistant, requires stitching together multiple complex components such as cloud backends, device firmware, and speech recognition. ESP32…
India has marked an important step in its semiconductor roadmap with the launch of DHRUV64, the country’s first fully indigenous 1.0 GHz, 64-bit dual-core microprocessor. Developed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) under the Microprocessor Development Programme, DHRUV64 is designed to serve both strategic and commercial needs. The processor is part of India’s broader…
Quarky Intellio is a LEGO-compatible AI module made for hands-on learning in Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, and Robotics. It is built on the ESP32-S3 microcontroller and includes a camera, microphone, speaker, rechargeable battery, SD card slot, and multiple connection ports. These features allow users to experiment with vision, sound, and basic edge AI projects using a small, all…
Virtusa has announced the acquisition of SmartSoC Solutions, the final piece that completes its full-stack capabilities. The company’s portfolio now covers everything from chip design to cloud applications. The deal adds over 1,400 of SmartSoC’s engineers to Virtusa, bringing deep expertise in VLSI, physical design, and embedded software.
This puts Virtusa in a position to tap into the…
NeST Group’s flagship company, SFO Technologies, exchanged a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Tamil Nadu government at the TN Rising Conclave in Madurai. The MoU is for its plans to establish a greenfield electronics manufacturing facility in Theni, Tamil Nadu. The exchange happened in the presence of Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and Industries Minister Dr T.R.B. Rajaa.
The…
Engineers from MIT have developed aerial microrobots that are roughly 450% faster with about 250% better acceleration in comparison to prior demos. “We want to be able to use these robots in scenarios that more traditional quadcopter robots would have trouble flying into, but that insects could navigate,” said Kevin Chen, an associate professor at MIT.
The robot's controller is…
