Developers of Internet of Things (IoT) and asset tracking devices and systems for industry, agriculture and smart cities need a way to communicate over long distances at minimal power for extended periods of time. Rich Miron, Applications Engineer at Digi-Key Electronics, explains.

AEC-Q101 qualified compact-body semi-power MOSFETs from Toshiba support a wide range of automotive applications for battery systems from 12 V to 48 V including power line load switches, LED headlights, and BMS cell balance circuitry.

Internet of Things (IoT) networks operating in dynamic environments are being expanded beyond object detection to include visual object identification in applications such as security, environmental monitoring, safety, and Industrial IoT (IIoT). Rich Miron, Applications Engineer at Digi-Key Electronics explains.

Designers of battery powered Internet of Things (IoT) devices and other connected products are being asked to meet the conflicting requirements of continuous wireless connectivity and extended battery life. Rich Miron, Applications Engineer at Digi-Key Electronics, explains.

STMicroelectronics' EVALSTPM-3PHISO application board is based on ST metering analogue front end STPMS2, application processor STPM32f42143RH, and STISO621W, which provides the galvanic isolation among the three phases in the metering application.

In stock now at distributor Digi-Key Electronics is Texas Instruments' LMQ61460-Q1, a high-performance DC/DC synchronous buck converter with integrated bypass capacitors.

As IoT applications become more complex, designers of IIoT endpoints are being asked to accommodate more complex computing at the edge. Edge computing on endpoint sensor data is a practical way to reduce network bottlenecks to the IIoT hub. This reduces network traffic while also reducing the computational load at the main hub processor. However, the approach has its drawbacks, as Rolf Horn, Applications Engineer at Digi-Key Electronics explains.
