This is an introduction video to a video series in which Microchip implement capacitive touch on a PIC18F47Q10 Curiosity Nano.

Renesas has introduced its RE Family, which encompasses the company’s current and future lineup of energy harvesting embedded controllers. The RE Family is based on Renesas’ proprietary SOTB process tech, which dramatically reduces power consumption in both the active and standby states, eliminating the need for battery replacement or recharging.

IAR Systems has further extended its strong tools offering for safety-related software development by launching a certified version of its development tools for STM8. STMicroelectronics’ eight-bit STM8 MCUs are used for automotive and other industrial applications where reliability and cost effectiveness are important.

Infineon Technologies will add a new member to its automotive microcontroller family AURIX. TC3A will address new automotive 77GHz radar applications such as high-end corner radar systems for advanced driver assistance systems and automated driving. New features include a new signal processing unit, a large SRAM memory dedicated to radar and four TriCore processors running at 300MHz with two additional lockstep cores.

  Renesas Electronics has announced the ability to simplify the device-to-cloud experience for IoT developers. Renesas’ extensive secure embedded design experience will be combined with easy and seamless out-of-the-box support for Microsoft Azure RTOS across Renesas’ microcontroller (MCU) and microprocessor (MPU) portfolio.

The Sitara AM574x processors from Texas Instruments (TI) are in stock at Mouser Electronics. These Arm Cortex-based devices achieve high levels of processing and are designed to meet the intense processing needs of modern embedded applications, including industrial communications, human-machine interface (HMI), and automation and control.

Renesas Electronics has unveiled the Renesas Advanced (RA) Family of 32-bit Arm Cortex-M MCUs. RA MCUs deliver the ultimate combination of optimised performance, security, connectivity, peripheral IP, and easy-to-use Flexible Software Package (FSP) to address the next generation of embedded solutions. To support the new family, Renesas has built a comprehensive partner ecosystem to deliver an array of software and hardware building blocks that will work out of the box with RA MCUs.

STM32 microcontrollers (MCU) from STMicroelectronics are now available in an 8-pin package, enabling simple embedded projects to leverage 32-bit performance and flexibility in a compact and cost-effective outline. The four new STM32G0 devices deliver a combination of 8-pin economy with a 64MHz Arm Cortex-M0+ CPU.

In stock at Mouser Electronics are the Zynq UltraScale multiprocessor system-on-chips (MPSoCs) from Xilinx. These devices combine a high-performance Arm-based multicore, multiprocessing system with ASIC-class programmable logic.

AMD has announced the global availability of its new AMD Ryzen PRO 3000 Series desktop processor lineup, along with new Ryzen PRO processors with Radeon Vega Graphics and AMD Athlon PRO processors with Radeon Vega Graphics.
