Compiler adds stack overflow protection
The latest release of SEGGER’s Embedded Studio for ARM comes with STOP technology, designed by SEGGER to reliably prevent stack overflows. With STOP enabled, the compiler adds a call to a stack limit-check routine wherever necessary, before adjusting the stack pointer. The STOP option for the highly optimizing SEGGER Compiler can be easily switched on, without any change […]
PCIe 3.0 packet switches support long trace lengths with losses of <30dB
Diodes Incorporated will showcase at the PCI-SIG Developers Conference in Santa Clara, CA a new series of automotive-compliant PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 technology packet switches for next-generation, in-vehicle networking applications. The architecture used in these devices enables flexible port configuration with upstream, downstream, and cross-domain end-point (CDEP) ports being assigned according to requirements. The PI7C9X3G606GPQ offers 6-port/6-lane […]
Switch and LNA modules deliver less than 1 dB noise
pSemi Corporation announced two multi-chip modules featuring dual-channel switches, the PE53230 for 3.3–3.8 GHz and the PE53231 for 3.5–4.0 GHz. Each module contains two switches and two LNAs for high and low band frequencies. The new module portfolio delivers the lowest noise figure in the industry, at less than 1 dB, enabling best-in-class receiver sensitivity […]
GNSS modules provide precise positioning in mobile industrial and robotics applications
u-blox has announced two new modules based on the u-blox F9 high-precision GNSS platform. The low-power NEO-F9P supports precise navigation and automation of moving industrial machinery, and the ZED-F9P-15B provides customers in the mobile robotics market with an L1/L5 option in addition to the L1/L2 bands. The new u-blox NEO-F9P GNSS module features include concurrent reception of GPS, […]

Development tool adds ARM64 simulator
SEGGER has added a complete instruction set simulator to its latest version of Embedded Studio for ARM. This follows the recently added compiler, linker, and runtime support for ARM64, which made it possible to generate and debug ARM64 programs, for devices such as, but not limited to, Cortex-A53, Cortex-A57, and Cortex-A72. Adding the simulator brings ARM64 support […]
Gigabit Ethernet PHYs support both copper and fiber interfaces
Microchip Technology announces it has extended its radiation-tolerant (RT) Ethernet PHY devices with the new VSC8574RT PHY. The VSC8574RT PHY supports the Serial Gigabit Media Independent Interface (SGMII) and Quad Serial Gigabit Media-Independent Interface (QSGMII) to reduce the overall signal pins in the design and free up the host device. Space applications operate in environments […]
