Synopsys announced the availability of the Bluetooth LE Audio LC3 Codec optimized for Synopsys’ DesignWare ARC EM DSP and HS DSP processor IP. The LC3 codec is an important feature of Bluetooth LE Audio, the soon-to-be-released next-generation audio standard defined by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) that enables system-on-chip (SoC) designers to efficiently implement […]
Multi-mode LTE Cat 1 modules support global 4G, 3G and 2G radio access
Quectel Wireless Solutions launched two “all-in-one” multi-mode LTE Cat 1 modules EG21-G and its Mini PCIe variant at CES 2020 today. Both modules support global 4G, 3G and 2G radio access on up to 30 bands with a single SKU. This will significantly enhance the efficiency of global IoT deployment and reduce costs. Based on Qualcomm’s MDM9x07 modem, […]
LoRa SoC connects smart devices to IoT via long-distance wireless links
Powering the search for sustainability through smart infrastructure and logistics, smart industry and smart living, STMicroelectronics has announced the world’s first LoRa system-on-chip (SoC) for connecting smart devices to the Internet of Things (IoT) using long-distance wireless connections. The STM32WLE5 SoC lets product developers create devices such as remote environmental sensors, meters, trackers, and process controllers that help […]
Z-Wave spec to become ratified, multi-source wireless standard
Silicon Labs and the Z-Wave Alliance announce plans to open the Z-Wave Specification as a ratified, multi-source wireless standard available to all silicon and stack vendors for development. With this change, semiconductor and software suppliers will be able to join the Z-Wave ecosystem, contribute to future advancements of the leading smart home standard, and develop and supply […]
BLE 50 module measures just 7.5 x 9.5 mm, supports IEEE802.15.4
u-blox has announced its latest ultra-small, high-performance Bluetooth low energy 5.0 module, the BMD-380. Measuring only 7.5 x 9.5 mm including the ceramic antenna, it features Bluetooth 5.0 specifications, with its long-range protocol suitable for implementing communication in harsh radio environments. It also supports IEEE802.15.4 (Thread and Zigbee). All these features make the BMD-380 high […]
LIDAR and Time of Flight, Part 4: Circuitry and advances
LIDAR systems and ToF techniques are critical to providing self-driving cars with a detailed picture of the surrounding and is used in many research applications as well. This is the final part of a four-part series on LIDAR systems and ToF techniques. The high-level block diagram of a LIDAR system inherently glosses over the many […]
LIDAR and Time of Flight, Part 3: Emitters, sensors, and scanners
LIDAR systems and ToF techniques are critical to providing self-driving cars with a detailed picture of the surrounding and is used in many research applications as well. This is part three of a four-part series on LIDAR systems and ToF techniques. At the front end of a LIDAR system is the photon emitter and its […]
LIDAR and Time of Flight, Part 2: Operation
LIDAR systems and ToF techniques are critical to providing self-driving cars with a detailed picture of the surrounding and is used in many research applications as well. This is part two of a four-part series on LIDAR systems and ToF techniques. Just as for radar and sonar, the LIDAR concept is simple but the execution […]
LIDAR and Time of Flight, Part 1: Introduction
LIDAR systems and ToF techniques are critical to providing self-driving cars with a detailed picture of the surrounding and is used in many research applications as well. Many of the major automobile vendors, along with well-known non-auto companies such as Google, are devoting major resources to developing autonomous vehicles (often called “self-driving cars”). These vehicles […]
Wireless MCUs target inexpensive Bluetooth 5.0, Zigbee 3.0, OpenThread apps
STM32WB50 Value Line wireless microcontrollers (MCUs) from STMicroelectronics are a full and pin-compatible derivative of the STM32WB55 System-on-Chip, created to serve cost-sensitive connected devices that need to support Bluetooth 5.0, ZigBee 3.0, or OpenThread. The devices offer a good link budget from 100dB in Bluetooth 5.0 mode up to 104dB in 802.15.4 mode. With the […]
