First 300,000-pixel back-illuminated CMOS image sensor
SmartSens launched SC031GS – the first commercial-grade 300,000-pixel Global Shutter CMOS image sensor based on BSI (back-illuminated) pixel technology. SC031GS is the latest addition to the SmartSens SmartGS product line and the first CMOS image sensor that combines a back-illuminated (BSI) pixel design with Global Shutter technology to provide superior signal-to-noise ratio, higher sensitivity and greater […]
3D gesture recognition controller is automotive qualified
Car manufacturers are increasingly seeking ways to reduce driver distraction through implementing functional safety technology in vehicles. Many Human Machine Interface (HMI) designers are turning to gesture recognition as a solution to improve driver and vehicle safety without sacrificing interior design, adding features that allow drivers to easily control everything from switching on lights to […]
Synchronous 8Kx36 RAM compatible with RC10001 MCUs demonstrates long life
The RelChip RC2110836 is a synchronous 8Kx36 RAM compatible with the RC10001 microcontroller. The memory is highly configurable, with options for data width, parity, latency, and burst-mode. Each byte of the 32 data pins can be written individually with the byte write (BW0n through BW3n) control pins. Thirteen bits of address (ADQ [14:2]) are input […]
Ultra-fast Gbps video streams through central Bristol as part of EU’s final 5G-XHaul demonstration
Blu Wireless Technology has announced its 5G-ready technology has been used to stream video through Bristol’s historic center. The 5G-XHaul project demonstration, which started July 1, 2015, marks the end of a 3-year collaborative research study to identify 5G technologies funded by the European Commission under the framework of the 5G Public Private Partnership (5G-PPP). […]
Precision MEMS sensor supports accurate positioning and control for cars
STMicroelectronics has introduced the automotive-grade ASM330LHH six-axis inertial sensor for super-high-resolution motion tracking in advanced vehicle navigation and telematics applications. Serving demands for continuous, accurate vehicle location to support automated services, the ASM330LHH lets advanced dead-reckoning algorithms calculate precise position from sensor data if satellite signals are blocked. This often happens in urban canyons, tunnels, covered roadways, […]
