Micros

The i.MX 8M Mini applications processors from NXP Semiconductors are available at Mouser Electronics. NXP's first embedded multi-core heterogeneous applications processors are built using advanced 14LPC FinFET process technology. The i.MX 8M Mini offers high-performance computing, power efficiency, and embedded security for edge node computing, streaming multimedia, voice assistants, human machine interfaces (HMIs), and machine learning applications.

Have you ever realised that you need higher PWM resolution for your application but don't want to purchase a new part?

Microchip Technology provides an extensive product portfolio of 8, 16 and 32-bit microcontrollers and digital signal controllers to help our customers select the device which best suits the needs of their application.

The AD7380 and AD7381 successive-approximation register (SAR) analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs) from Analog Devices are now being shipped by Mouser Electronics. The pin-compatible 16-bit AD7380 and 14-bit AD7381 ADCs feature throughput rates of 4 megasamples per second (MSPS) and a tiny 3 × 3mm LFCSP package.

A secure coprocessor from Maxim Integrated that provides additional levels of authentication and device integrity protection for industrial systems, medical sensors, and Internet of Things (IoT) tools is in stock at distributor Mouser Electronics.

ISO9001:2015 certified, designer and manufacturer of rugged industrial-grade MEMS capacitive accelerometer chips, Silicon Designs, has announced that additional new g-ranges and end-user enhancements have been added to its Model 2227 MEMS inertial accelerometer series.

Supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, Renesas Electronics, has introduced two touch-free user interface (UI) solutions to simplify the design of 2D and 3D control-based applications. Based on Renesas’ capacitive sensor microcontrollers (MCUs), the new solutions support the development of UI that allows users to operate home appliances, as well as industrial and OA equipment without touching the devices.

It has been announced that the STM32WBx5 dual-core wireless microcontrollers (MCU) from STMicroelectronics come with Bluetooth 5, OpenThread, and ZigBee 3.0 connectivity combined with ultra-low-power performance. Fusing features of ST’s STM32L4 Arm Cortex-M4 MCUs and in-house radio managed by a dedicated Cortex-M0+, the STM32WBx5 is power-conscious yet capable of concurrent wireless-protocol and real-time application execution.

Renesas has announced the winners of its MCU Car Rally contest for university students, which was held at embedded world 2019. Thirty teams from universities all over Europe, comprising approximately 150 students and their tutors, participated in the challenge with each team developing a functioning model rally car that included sensors to detect a white line on the track and an RX MCU from Renesas. The lap times were recorded by a timing system based on the Renesas Synergy Platform.

DACx1416 digital-to-analogue converters (DACs) from Texas Instruments (TI) are now being shipped by Mouser Electronics. The DACx1416 are a pin-compatible family of 16-channel, buffered, high-voltage-output DACs with 16-, 14-, or 12-bit resolution. They address the specific requirements of all Mach-Zehnder Modulator (MZM) technologies and biasing topologies, making them suitable for optical networking applications, as well as industrial automation and test and measurement systems.
