by Noel O’Riordan and Tommy Mullane, S3 Semiconductors When you’re designing sensor node devices destined for the industrial internet of things (IIoT), chances are they need to be battery-powered. And given the number of these expected to be deployed, and their often-remote locations, changing or charging a battery frequently isn’t an option. Your device, therefore, needs […]
Platform integrates IoT edge functions into single ASIC
According to recent industry reports, more than half of the data usage in IoT is now processed at the Edge by autonomous devices. These devices typically require sensitive sensor AFEs (Analog Front Ends) coupled to data converters, microcontrollers running complex embedded software, with security and some form of wired or wireless communications interface. Bringing all […]
Free BOM calculator for custom IC costs
S3 Semiconductors today announced an online bill of materials (BOM) calculator that shows how custom ICs are economically viable even in low to medium volumes. Learning from S3 Semiconductors’ 20 years of experience in designing custom ICs, the BOM calculator will provide an estimate of project development costs and give a guide to break-even volumes using just […]
