Smart IMU focused on wearables applications
Now in stock at Mouser Electronics is the BMI270 smart inertial measurement unit (IMU) from Bosch. The ultra-low-power IMU offers improved accelerometer offset and sensitivity performance based on Bosch’s MEMS process technology.
Radar sensor to make autonomous cars safer
Even as people hear about exciting developments regarding autonomous cars, many have lingering doubts about their safety. Videos of these vehicles show them manoeuvring around obstacles and dealing with other traffic without incidents, though. By Kayla Matthews
Accurate high resolution digital low pressure sensor
All Sensors Corporation of Morgan Hill, California, has announced a brand new, low pressure sensor, the DLLR Series. This new device series offers design engineers exceptional performance for pressure ranges of twn and 30 inH2O. The DLLR Series features Total Error Band and accuracy.
New mobile deployment kit on display at IFSEC 2019
HGH are showcasing its new 'Mobile Deployment Kit' for SPYNEL-M at IFSEC 2019 this week. The international company is well known for their 360° SPYNEL thermal sensors, used for security and defence applications. The SPYNEL-M sensor is the most compact and lightweight of the HGH SPYNEL range. The thermal camera is used for temporary protection of a perimeter during a mission (Police units, Special Forces), to secure the visit of a VI...
Digital board level pressure sensor series expanded
Due to the increasing demand for precise pressure sensors suitable for manifold assembly Analog Microelectronics has expanded its digital I2C pressure sensor series AMS 5915 by corresponding variants. These PCB-mountable pressure sensors come in a robust ceramic DIP-08 package with a very low assembly height of approximately four millimetres and are designed for manifold assembly on flanges with o-ring seals.
Laser-powered sensor to open up ‘anonymised’ security era
A sensor that uses an array of lasers to detect objects, people and vehicles could herald an era of anonymised surveillance that isolates threats from uninvolved people or objects. Cepton Technologies 3D Lidar detection system, the Vista-Edge Perception Evaluation Kit (PEK), combines the unerring accuracy of lasers to scan the environment in much the same way a radar does, but at a much higher resolution, building an image of the w...
Monolithically integrated linear Hall sensor for ASIL D systems
Infineon Technologies will launch a monolithically integrated linear Hall sensor which was developed entirely according to the safety standard ISO26262 for automotive applications. The XENSIV TLE4999I3 enables the development of fault-tolerant systems that have to meet the highest level of functional safety (ASIL D).
Sensor provides high end resolution photos for smartphones
OmniVision Technologies has announced the OV48B, its first 48 megapixel (MP) image sensor featuring a 0.8 micron pixel size to enable high resolution smartphone cameras in a 1/2" optical format. Built on OmniVision’s PureCel Plus stacked die technology, this sensor provides leading edge still image capture and video performance for both mainstream and high end smartphones.
TMR-based closed-loop sensor for high-current coreless applications
It has been announced that TDK Corporation is expanding its Micronas magnetic sensor portfolio with the CUR 423x sensors developed for current measurements in automotive and industrial applications. The new sensors, marketed under the trademark curSENS, are the first Micronas branded products based on the TDK TMR technology.
Highly accurate digital Turbo MAP sensor launched
At the Sensor+Test trade fair, Infineon Technologies is presenting the new XENSIV absolute pressure sensor series KP276. It addresses applications such as the measurement of manifold air pressure (MAP) in aspirated or turbo (Turbo MAP) diesel and gasoline engines as well as exhaust gas recirculation.
