IEDM highlights: A 2D Lidar on a chip
Samsung researchers have advanced the concept of a solid-state lidar with the development of a single-chip device with a 10-m range. Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) technology normally requires flash illumination or beam scanning to detect surroundings. The problem is such schemes generally demand use of a high-power laser. So most commercially available long-range lidar […]
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 […]
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 […]
