Extension board aids LoRa-based designs
The STM32 LoRaWAN Discovery Board from STMicroelectronics (ST) is now available at Mouser Electronics . The new Discovery Kit and I-NUCLEO-LRWAN1 STM32 LoRa Arduino-compatible extension board provides a development platform for learning and evaluating solutions based on LoRa and FSK/OOK radio frequency (RF) communication.
Boards support LPWAN evaluation for IoT connectivity
Two new ready-to-use prototype boards available from STMicroelectronics slash the cost for developers to start evaluating LoRaWAN and other LPWAN technologies including WM-Bus and 6LoWPAN. The boards are based on the smallest and lowest-power LoRaWAN modules that exist on the market today, with a footprint not larger than 13x12mm and power consumption in the range of 1.2µA in standby mode.
Backplane connector provides signal integrity
The Impulse Orthogonal Direct Backplane Connector System has been introduced by Molex. It is designed for high-density data centre applications and also supports data rates of 56Gbps NRZ and 112Gbps PAM4 with superior signal integrity.
High performance CPU-based board offers vision choices
The EPIC-KBS7 Board from AAEON is ideally suited for image based applications. The highly integrated board is based on the 6th/7th Generation Intel Core i-Series processor and is equipped with four USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 interfaces, making it particularly suitable for machine vision applications.
Curiosity shop: Dev board ready for 32-bit designs
The PIC32MX470 Curiosity development board from Microchip Technology is now in stock at Mouser Electronics. The cost-effective, fully integrated development platform enables rapid prototyping of 32-bit designs using the onboard Microchip PIC32MX470 microcontroller.
MOSFET-based evaluation board cuts design costs
A new evaluation board from Wolfspeed, a Cree Company is available at Richardson RFPD. The CRD-060DD17P-2 is a demonstration board for a single-end flyback converter design built with Wolfspeed’s commercially-available 1700V SiC MOSFET. The 48W experimental reference design demonstrates how the 1700V SiC MOSFET can reduce total cost and simplify the design of auxiliary power supply.
