Find the latest electronics industry news covering new electronics components releases in various electronics domains such as embedded, power electronics, analog, digital, IoT and Automotive industries.
As reported in recent CNBC coverage, India’s automotive sector is bracing for potential production delays as a global shortage of rare earth magnets, critical for both electric vehicles (EVs) and traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, has begun to put a strain on supply chains. China has control over 90% of the global supply of rare earth materials. The country’s priorities are…
Researchers from UC Berkeley have developed a unique hybrid drone that both flies like a quadcopter and drives on the ground using the same motors. Unlike the average drone that needs separate motors or propellers to move on the ground, DUAWLFIN uses a clever mechanical system called a differential drivetrain to switch between flight and wheels. The spinning of propellers is not required while…
RAKwireless has launched the RAK11160 WisDuo Module. This dual-core IoT module combines two microcontrollers: an STM32WLE5 for LoRaWAN-based long-range wireless communication and an ESP32-C2 for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity.
The ESP32 can enter a deep power-off mode using only ~1 µA. This makes it great for remote farming sensors, moving vehicles, forests, and even asset…
SlimeVR has introduced its new wireless full-body tracking solution based on the success and experience of previous versions. It improves comfort, adds battery life, and is lighter. Each tracker in the system contains an IMU sensor that wirelessly sends data to your PC or smartphone. The SlimeVR Server software uses the data in relation to your body’s proportions and headset position to…
Wolfspeed, a US-based silicon carbide (SiC) wafer maker, reported in an SEC filing that its ability to continue operations is in doubt, hinting at possible bankruptcy. Renesas Electronics of Japan has a $2 billion long-term agreement with the company for SiC wafer supply. Advance payments that have already been made towards this put Renesas at risk of financial loss. The Wolfspeed…
A simple piano doorbell that replaces the usual chime with real piano notes was demonstrated in a recent project published by Arpan Mondal. The system combines microcontroller-based control with audio playback to create an interactive doorbell.
At its core is an ESP32-S3, which takes inputs from 5 keys styled like a tiny piano. Each key is built using micro limit switches and connected…
Bharat Electronics Ltd(BEL), a Navratna defense public sector enterprise that deals with cutting-edge electronics systems, and Tata Electronics, a Tata Group greenfield venture, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on June 5, 2025, at Bombay House, Mumbai. This formalizes their joint efforts to develop indigenous electronics and semiconductor solutions.
The primary aim of the…
The Government of India has made amendments to the Special Economic Zones (SEZ) rules. This aims to promote the manufacturing of semiconductors and electronic components. The changes reduce the minimum land requirement for establishing factories in SEZs from 50 hectares to 10 hectares.
The norms that are relaxed span over semiconductors, display module sub-assemblies, printed circuit…
Reflex Drive, a deep-tech startup, has used key semiconductor components from Infineon Technologies AG. They’ve integrated Infineon's OptiMOS 80 V and 100 V power MOSFETs and the MOTIX IMD701 integrated motor control solution. This benefits their electric speed controllers (ESCs) through better thermal performance and high power density. The ESCs are compact, with a footprint of 120 cm³ and a…
Valtrack V4 by Valetron Systems is a GPS vehicle tracking device designed for 4G-LTE CAT1 networks with global band support. The device is built around the Espressif ESP32-C3FH4 RISC-V chipset. It helps log routes, track locations in real-time, and prevent theft through an onboard LIS3DH 12-bit, 3-axis accelerometer motion sensor.
It connects directly to a vehicle’s 12 V lead-acid…
Broadcom Inc. has introduced Tomahawk 6, the world’s first 102.4 Terabits per second Ethernet switch chip, and it’s already started shipping. This new chip is designed for large-scale AI training and inference clusters, providing the highest bandwidth and performance that can be packed in a piece of silicon.
The Tomahawk 6 is twice what its predecessors were in terms of switching…
Lizard is a remote-controlled race car project published by TRDB. It’s all 3D printed components minus the wheels and powered by a custom electronics system based on the ESP32 microcontroller. Designed to be customizable, the Lizard features a rear-wheel drive system with open differential, independent suspension, and double Cardan joints. The drivetrain and chassis are printed using PETG…
