Graphics Toolkit creates Smartphone-like Experiences on Microcontrollers
The Qt Company today introduced Qt for MCUs to enable companies to create fluid user interfaces (UIs) on cost-effective microcontrollers (MCUs). The new offering leverages the existing tools and libraries from the widely used Qt for Device Creation, allowing companies to deliver better user experiences for displays powered by MCUs while reducing their hardware cost. Today’s devices are […]
BPSK wireless data modulator supports transmit frequencies from 100 MHz to 1 GHz
CML Microcircuits Ltd announced the introduction of the CMX7146, a flexible data modulator that simplifies the design of transmit-only solutions using BPSK (binary phase-shift keying) and differential BPSK modulation (also referred to as PRK, phase reversal keying, or 2PSK). The CMX7146 generates precise baseband analog in-phase and quadrature signals with programmable signal filtering. This generates […]
