Infineon has had its forthcoming TC4x automotive microcontrollers cleared for safe AI processing by the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems (IKS). “Embedded AI is becoming increasingly important for safety-critical real-time applications,” said Infineon. “However, this also creates new requirements and standards that must be considered during the complete product lifecycle.” The TC4x family includes ‘PPU’ (parallel processing unit), an AI-accelerator ...

AMD is aiming at industrial automation with its latest embedded processor series, as well as machine vision, robotics and edge servers. The series has on-board graphics and “because embedded applications require additional operating system software options, Ryzen Embedded 7000 Series processors include support for both Windows Server and Linux Ubuntu, on top of Windows 10 and Windows 11”, according to ...

Microchip has expunged some of the tricky bits of system design with its ARM926EJ-S based SAM9X60 MPU, by introducing a system-on-module that pre-pairs the processor with 1Gbit of DDR2 dram, a 4Gbit of NAND flash and 1kbit of serial eeprom – on top of the chip’s own 64kbyte of internal sram. Actually built around a 600MHz SAM9X60D1G, and called SAM9X60D1G-SOM, ...

Intel held onto the No. 1 slot in 2021 despite flat revenues, reports Omdia. While Samsung overtook Intel in Q3 and Q4, Intel was the leader in Qs 1 & 2. Intel’s main revenue source, MPUs,  grew at 11% YoY last year – compared to the total semiconductor growth level of 24%.. Samsung significantly closed the annual revenue gap to ...

Microchip is offering a pair of radiation-hardened Arm Cortex-M7 ICs: the SAMRH71 MPU and the SAMRH707 MCU, developed with the support of the European Space Agency and French space agency Centre National D’Etudes Spatiales (CNES). “The introduction of Arm technologies for space applications opens up new perspectives by enabling the use of the same ecosystem well in place in the ...

The 68020 microprocessor will live on, with a new package, life thanks to a collaboration between Essex-based e2v and Freescale. It is now available in a 132pin ceramic quadpack (CERQUAD), pin-to-pin compatible with the original Freescale plastic quad flat package (PQFP). “This new package option will facilitate the transition from the original PQFP, discontinued in 2010, and enable manufacturers to ...

Renesas’ RZ/A1 MPU is to be supported by the Giuliani GUI from TES Electronic Solutions.

Silicon Labs has introduced a wireless microcontroller family that can communicate across 3km, powered by a coin cell. "There are 12 Si10xx devices, with 64kbyte to 8k of
