COM Express modules have Gen 7 Intel Core processors
congatec has released COM Express Compact modules in time with the launch of the 7th generation of Intel Core SoC processors. The conga-TC175 Computer-on-Modules (COMs) with Intel's Skylake successor -the second variant of the current 14nm microarchitecture - are simply better than their predecessors. Compelling features include greater CPU performance, more dynamic HDR graphics thanks to 10-bit video codec, and support of the optional, super-fas...
Automotive radar MCUs enable higher accuracy and safety
Renesas Electronics has announced its first RH850-based, 32-bit, automotive radar microcontroller (MCU) series. The RH850/V1R will deliver the high performance and features required for enabling future Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving vehicles.
Boosting module-based high-end embedded computing
congatec extends its COM Express Basic portfolio with the new high-performance conga-TS175 Computer-on-Module. Equipped with the high-end dual chip versions of the brand new Intel Xeon and Gen 7 Intel Core processors (codename Kaby Lake), it sets a new benchmark for module-based high-end embedded computers and modular industrial workstations that need to process massive workloads.
Switching regulators to supply microprocessors
The RECOM R420-1.8/PL switching regulators has been developed specifically for supplying microprocessors from 4-20mA loop. Characteristics of the flat module include extremely low idle power along with high efficiency.
75 billion units with embedded SuperFlash technology shipped
Through its Silicon Storage Technology (SST) subsidiary, Microchip Technology has enabled the shipment of more than 75 billion semiconductor devices with embedded SuperFlash technology.
Compact eCT MCUs meet automotive reliability requirements
Cypress Semiconductor and United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) have announced that Cypress has begun volume shipments of microcontrollers (MCUs) containing its proprietary 40nm embedded Charge-Trap (eCT) Flash manufactured at UMC. The shipments mark the culmination of a multi-year collaboration between Cypress and UMC to integrate Cypress’s flash technology with UMC’s 40nm Low Power (40LP) logic process.
Microcontroller lineup is suitable for platform development
Renesas Electronics announced four new RH850/P1L-C Group of microcontrollers (MCUs). The RH850/P1L-C Group is designed for use in chassis and safety systems, such as anti-lock brake and airbag systems, as well as compact motor control systems. The RH850/P1L-C is a low-end MCU Group that is part of the RH850/P1x-C Series of Safety MCUs that meets the requirements for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in one stop.
Crypto-enhanced MCUs target always-on sensor acquisition
Two microcontroller lines from STMicroelectronics increase energy efficiency, flexibility, and feature integration at the high end of the STM32F4 Access Line for high-performance embedded designs. Qualified up to 125°C, these STM32 devices target always-on sensor acquisition and general-purpose industrial applications and present a robust and cost-effective upgrade from STM32F1 MCUs.
INIC driving supercars into the fast lane
Microchip's Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) technology is being used to power one of the world's most technologically advanced sports coupés surround sound audio and infotainment system. Pagani Automobili’s Huayra BC supercar is using MOST technology Intelligent Network Interface Controllers (INICs) from Microchip.
Nano-power op amp enables longer battery life
With its 1.2x1.3mm outline and typical current of 900nA, the TSU111 nano-power op amp from STMicroelectronics helps cut the size and energy needs of analogue circuits to the bare minimum in medical monitors, wearable electronics, gas detectors, pH sensors, infrared motion sensors and payment tags.
