Septentrio announces the launch of the AsteRx-m3 Sx OEM board. This new dual-antenna receiver combines Septentrio’s latest core GNSS technology with the SECORX-S sub-decimeter correction service, enabling convenient plug-and-play positioning. High-accuracy positioning is available directly out of the box as GNSS corrections are automatically streamed to the receiver. This significantly simplifies the user’s GNSS receiver […]
Laser modules boost spatial recognition, ranging system output by 30%
ROHM’s newly developed VCSEL technology achieves greater accuracy in spatial recognition and distance measuring systems by using Time Of Flight (TOF) systems. VCSEL has become popular in recent years with the adoption of laser light sources for spatial recognition in tablets and facial recognition in smartphones. With the emergence of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and industrial […]
Chip-scale atomic clock produces super-stable frequencies
IQD is pleased to present its new chip-scale atomic clock (CSAC), ICPT-1. The ICPT-1 uses the Coherent Population Trap (CPT) method to obtain a very stable frequency. While common rubidium oscillators detect the atomic transition with the help of a rubidium discharge lamp (Rb lamp), the ICPT-1 uses a laser to induce quantum transitions. A […]

MCUs optimized for CAN FD bus data
Microchip Technology Inc. announced its PIC18 Q84 family — the first PIC18 microcontroller (MCU) family that can be used to transmit and receive data through a Controller Area Network Flexible Data-Rate (CAN FD) bus. Accompanied by an extensive array of Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) that handle a variety of tasks without requiring CPU intervention, Microchip’s PIC18 Q84 family […]
ROS now supports 64-bit processor cores
SEGGER has announced that its embOS real-time operating system now supports 64-bit processor cores. Today, most IoT implementations and other sophisticated embedded applications rely on 32-bit CPUs. In the very near future, however, they will start migrating to higher performance 64-bit CPUs. This is because the latest generation of SoCs and FPGAs with advanced peripherals […]
Supercomputing platform delivers over 2 TB/sec of memory bandwidth
NVIDIA unveiled the NVIDIA A100 80GB GPU — the latest innovation powering the NVIDIA HGX AI supercomputing platform — with twice the memory of its predecessor, providing researchers and engineers unprecedented speed and performance to unlock the next wave of AI and scientific breakthroughs. The new A100 with HBM2e technology doubles the A100 40GB GPU’s high-bandwidth memory […]
Fiber-optic transceiver integrates 100 Mb/sec optical port in one component
KDPOF presents the brand new integrated Fiber Optic Transceiver (FOT) KD7051. It is the first device for optical in-vehicle connectivity that incorporates the transceiver IC, optoelectronics, and optics. The integrated FOT is a 100 Mb/s optical port in one single component. KDPOF’s new KD7051 thus substantially reduces the overall expense compared to STP (shielded twisted […]
