Rohde & Schwarz has updated its 4 to 16GHz RTP oscilloscope range with a 13.3inch HD touchscreen and redesigned front panel. “Improving overall usability so that test engineers could focus on the design problems at hand and not on operating the test equipment was paramount to our R&D engineers when we decided to update the R&S RTP,” said company oscilloscope president ...

Vishay Intertechnology has introduced a series of surface-mount bidirectional transient voltage suppressors in SMC (DO-214AB) packaging for automotive, industrial and telecom use. Surge capability is 3kW at 10/1,000μs to meet the specifications of ISO 16750-2 Pulse b. Called the SMC3KxxxCAHM3_A series, leakage current can be as low as 1μA from 22 to 120V, and operatioj is up to 175°C. For high reliability, ...

Seco has introduced a COM Express Type 6 Compact Module and a 3.5inch single board computer built around 11th Gen Intel Core processors – also known as Tiger Lake UP3. “11th Gen Core processors combine CPU/GPU engines with integrated artificial intelligence acceleration and deep learning capabilities in a low power processing platform, built on Intel third-generation 10nm process technology,” according ...

For developers unfamiliar with FPGAs, conventional FPGA development methods can seem complex, often causing developers to turn to less optimal solutions, says Rolf Horn at Digi-Key Electronics. Designers looking to implement artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms on inference processors at the edge are under constant pressure to lower power consumption and development time, even as processing demands increase. FPGAs offer a ...

Renesas will demonstrate Arm’s Cortex-M85 embedded processor at Embedded World in Nuremberg, expecting it to be the first public airing of the new core in a microcontroller. Aimed at IoT applications requiring artificial intelligence or machine learning, Cortex-M85 will be able to deliver over 6CoreMark/MHz, according to Renesas, and is built around Armv8.1m architecture with Helium – the latter being ...

Murata has teamed up with NXP to develop a Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 module. Called Type 1XL, it is built around NXP’s 88W9098 chip set and supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax 2×2 MU-MIMO (multi-user, multiple-input, multiple-output) and single antenna Bluetooth 5.3 Low Energy, BR and EDR. “The Wi-Fi section supports connectivity up to 1.4x faster than conventional Wi-Fi compatible devices, offering data ...

Google has announced the second Beta of its Android 13 mobile operating system. It says the release concentrates on “core themes of privacy and security” as well as developer productivity. For example, it’s added a new permission for sending notifications, a privacy-protecting photo picker (letting you select the exact photos or videos you want to share), and more detailed permissions when ...

There’s a strong case for using hardware-based threat detection and mitigation. SoC design teams fill a mission-critical role in ensuring cyber-physical safety and security for electrical and electronic systems that are connected to the internet. The requirements and tools available to achieve this goal are ever-shifting, but we can be fairly sure that traditional software-only security measures are unlikely to ...

Securing Our Connected Future is More Important Than Ever. The Internet of Things (IoT) and the data it collects are allowing us to work and live connected lives like never before. IoT devices are unlocking innovation that is digitizing all industries. While traditionally the rate of IoT security adoption has lagged behind the pace of digital transformation, recently we have ...

Digi-Key Electronics is hosting a webinar, in collaboration with Analog Devices, entitled “AI Anywhere – ADI’s AI Accelerator IC Enables New Edge AI Use Cases.” As well as covering the challenges involved with implementing Edge AI, the webinar introduces the AI microcontroller MAX78000 and considers new use cases for AI. Presented by Kristopher Ardis, executive director of the security, software ...
