New Yorker Electronics has released a new sensor series from Vishay in two different body types.

With the increasing popularity and growing trend of e-bikes, bicycle system suppliers have set goals to optimise power and performance of their drive systems. In order to support the driver in the best possible way, sensors are needed to deliver the required data and therefore adapt the engine's power support. An essential component is the ZF e-bike speed sensor for measuring the current speed.

Following the introduction of mobile and automotive ultra-wideband (UWB) sensing solutions, NXP has expanded its portfolio to include new UWB ICs. Trimension SR040 and SR150 ICs are optimized to enable new IoT use cases such as smart locks and real-time location system (RTLS) tags, delivering ‘relative position’ with a very high level of accuracy.

STMicroelectronics has revealed that the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra uses ST sensing and control technology, including its multi-zone time-of-flight sensor, enhancing the smartphones’ features with minimal noise and package size. The Galaxy Note20 similarly leverages ST’s MEMS pressure sensors, inertial measurement units, and EEPROMs.

Datalogic has increased the value of the innovative wireless charging PDA Memor 10, with the UHF 2128P RFID hand held reader, bringing reading, writing and localisation capabilities. Now workers can complete a faster and more accurate inventory, with extended nominal read range up to nine meters, due to a 34 dBm of maximum RF output power.

OmniVision Technologies has announced the OV64A image sensor, offering 64 megapixel (MP) resolution with the largest pixel size in its class, at 1.0 micron, along with a class-leading optical format of 1/1.34”. Its large optics and high resolution provide premium low light performance for the wide and ultrawide main cameras in high end smartphones.

Murata is now including in its portfolio advanced 1D linear and 2D angular sensor devices from Crocus Technology based on tunnel magnetic resistance (TMR) technology.

In a move to intensify its Marketplace initiative Digi-Key Electronics has sealed a global distribution partnership with ACEINNA.

Zytronic’s all-weather projected capacitive touch sensors have helped the city of Greensboro breathe new life into its downtown area. The durable interactive technology has provided the user interface to thirteen double-sided, 55” public information terminals, which look and work like giant sized smartphones.
