| Today’s modular and scalable microprocessor and microcontroller systems employ a range of lower I/O and core voltages. To efficiently connect data and control interfaces especially with older legacy peripherals can therefore be a challenge. Nexperia’s autosense portfolio overcomes this, providing an integrated voltage translating interface that brings flexibility and can be used for both high-speed push-pull buffered and open-drain applications. |

| This reference design provides a compact system design capable of supporting motor acceleration and deceleration up to ±200 kRPM/s, which is a key requirement in many respirator applications. The design supports a number of offboard C2000 controllers including the TMS320F28027F, enabling a low-cost, sensor-less field oriented control (FOC). In addition, the design supports a wide input voltage range (6-28 V) capable of supporting both regulated line and battery power. |

| There’s been talk of a skill shortage in IT of late, but that has long been the case for female professionals in this industry. With only a fraction of the UK’s female workforce operating in IT, this is a massive limitation on the potential scale of who could be qualified to work in the sector. In 2019 the proportion of female staff in tech in the UK, sat at just 16%, incredibly, this equates to the same figure as a decade before. Another eye opening statistic is that only five percent of leadership positions in the UK tech sector are held by women. |

| Cadence has announced that Picocom has deployed the Cadence Palladium enterprise emulation platform to accelerate the verification and pre-silicon software validation of its System-on-Chip (SoC) designs for 5G open Radio Access Network (RAN) applications. Using the Palladium Emulation platform, Picocom achieved faster hardware and software integration, experiencing an emulation speedup of 1,000 times when compared with RTL simulation. |

| Overall, worldwide electric car sales were stronger than expected in 2020. Additionally, investment continued to pour into electric vehicles (EVs) and Li-ion batteries with 2020 seeing an additional 200GWh of planned capacity announcements in Europe, and this figure continues to grow on a regular basis in 2021.

| Metamaterials are added-value materials. The IDTechEx report, 'Metamaterial and Metasurface Markets Electromagnetic 2022-2042' helps you prosper by making and deploying them everywhere. Who should you partner with, emulate or buy? Metamaterials are structures with repetitive patterning controlling radiation and other inputs in a previously impossible fashion. |

| Ultrasonic-based Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM) has long been the method of choice for quality testing and failure analysis of silicon ingots, wafers, integrated circuits, and MEMS. Ultrasound can locate voids and disbonds between material layers better than other non-destructive methods because sound waves can look inside the layers to detect the thinnest of air gaps and delaminations down to a hundredth of a micron. |
