leland teschler | executive editor I once had a lengthy exchange with a guy who claimed RF from WiFi was making him sick. After numerous emails back and forth in which I tried to correct his misconceptions about WiFi signals, I gently suggested that he go find an RF screen room and sit in it […]
First back-biased GMR speed/direction sensor handles air gaps 50% larger
The ATS19580 is the industry’s first fully-integrated, back-biased GMR transmission speed and direction sensor. Achieving the highest level of in-system performance for this application, the ATS19580 reduces system size, complexity and cost—resulting in improved fuel economy. Combining GMR technology with Allegro’s leading transmission algorithms and packaging, the ATS19580 offers the highest performance transmission sensor to […]
Device-side IO-Link-compliant transceiver IC features advanced protection circuitry, low power dissipation
The CCE4503 is a new IO-Link IC that connects the smallest and most price-sensitive IO-Link Device sensors and actuators. The CCE4503 is the first IO-Link IC to be launched by Dialog Semiconductor following its acquisition of Creative Chips in November 2019 and complements the company’s well-established family of IO-Link Device and Master ICs. IO-Link is […]
Budget-priced AI MCU combines machine learning with scalar, floating, fixed-point and vector instructions
A new processor called xcore.ai for the AIoT market delivers high-performance AI, DSP, control and IO in a single device with prices from $1. Traditionally this type of capability would be deployed either through a powerful (and costly) applications processor or a microcontroller with additional components to accelerate key capabilities. However, the new xcore.ai crossover […]
New processors provide neural processing for human-like cognition at the edge
The i.MX 8M Plus applications processors in the EdgeVerse portfolio integrate a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) that unleashes the benefits of edge-based Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in IoT and industrial devices. The i.MX 8M Plus features an NPU capable of delivering 2.3 TOPS, a powerful quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 processor running up to […]
Industrial Internet Consortium and Trusted IoT Alliance join forces
The Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) and the Trusted IoT Alliance (TIoTA) day they are combining their memberships. Effective immediately, the organizations will work together under the IIC umbrella to drive industry collaboration and research, foster open systems development and promote best practices for trusted IoT systems such as blockchain and related distributed ledger technologies (DLT). […]
Teardown: Induction crystal ball gyrocopter toy
A little toy made in China called the Induction crystal ball uses a pair of coaxial rotors to rise in the air, helicopter-like. It powers the rotors enough to rise for a few seconds, then cuts the power back to gently float down until a proximity sensor in the base of the plastic body comes […]
Automotive Universal Flash Storage chips hold 512 GB
The industry’s first 512-gigabyte (GB) Automotive Universal Flash Storage (UFS) JEDEC Version 2.1 embedded memory solution supports a wide temperature range (-40 to +105°C), meets AEC-Q100 Grade24 requirements, and offers the extended reliability required by various automotive applications. The 512GB device joins the KIOXIA America, Inc. (formerly Toshiba Memory America, Inc.) lineup of Automotive UFS, […]
BLE SoCs, modules billed as world’s smallest
The new DA14531 is being billed as the world’s smallest and most power-efficient Bluetooth 5.1 SoC and module to simplify Bluetooth product development and enable wider adoption. The chip, also known as SmartBond TINY, is currently in production. It will further extend Dialog’s position as a leader in the Bluetooth device market with the broadest […]
Toggle-mode magnetroresistive RAM ICs pack 32Mb
A new 32Mb Toggle MRAM (MR5A16A) provides twice the capacity of the current 16Mb solution and enables critical applications, such as storing configurations and setup and data logging in embedded systems that need a higher density option, while maintaining the proven benefits of Everspin’s Toggle MRAM. Everspin’s 32Mb Toggle MRAM has been sampled to several […]
