Edge AI is a tremendous opportunity for start-ups that use AI and machine learning to disrupt and deliver faster, more flexible, sustainable and affordable products and services, advocates Rhett Evans (additional reporting by Caroline Hayes). AI has become part of daily life – in cloud services such as social media, call centres, and chatbots – and it is accelerating applications, ...

In a rapidly digitalising world where every electronic product is getting smaller and smarter, standing out from the crowd may seem out of reach for manufacturers. But custom IC design can enable true product differentiation, says Richard Mount. It is estimated that 127 new internet of things (IoT) devices connect to the internet every second (McKinsey Global Institute). To stand ...

460W of regulated dc is available from a 76 x 127 (3 x 5inch) footprint open frame power supply, which can also deliver 340W without forced air cooling, thanks to its 94% efficiency. Called DDP460 series and made by Enedo Power, it comes in 24, 48 and 56V output versions – samples are available of these – and with 12 ...

Rohm has developed its 4th generation 650V fast recovery diodes (FRDs), balancing forward voltage and reverse-recovery time for high-power industrial and consumer equipment including air conditioners and electric vehicle charging stations. RFL series (right) is nominally low forward voltage and reduces Vf by ~3.2% and trr by ~8.3% compared with the existing RFN series. RFS series (right), nominally high-speed, reduces ...

onsemi has announced a  10BASE-T1S Ethernet controller designed to provide reliable multi-point communication in industrial settings. The NCN26010 enables more than 40 nodes on a single twisted pair, exceeding five times the amount of nodes requested by the IEEE 802.3cg standard, to reduce installation cost and set-up complexity. For in-cabinet wiring, the NCN26010 reduces wiring up to 70% while significantly ...

At Embedded World 2022, we caught up with Chengchi Lin, Sales Director at Longsys, as part of our promotional coverage for the event. FORESEE, the industry storage brand of Longsys, made its debut at Embedded World 2022. There is a full range of storage products, including for automotive electronics, industrial automation, power equipment, security monitoring, network communications equipment, and other ...

Technology could power innovative robotic applications, but attention needs to be paid to testing component parts, says Khushboo Kalyani of LitePoint. For industrial, automotive and manufacturing robotics applications, 5G technology offers high speed, reliable, dense and low latency connectivity that is suitable for fixed location or mobile use cases. When discussing the exciting applications for 5G, healthcare, autonomous vehicles, drones ...

Limited space requires DC-DC converters designed with thermal performance in mind, advises Timur Uludag of Würth Elektronik. An example of a typical industrial environment with multiple electronic applications and rail voltages is a warehouse. An industrial warehouse can hold complex conveyor systems with many sensors, actuators and control units. Each of these applications has its own requirements in terms of ...

NXP will be launching a new microcontroller portfolio at Embedded World. Called MCX, the MCUs will span from highly-secured high pin-count processors with 4Mbyte flash and 1Mbyte of sram, to a Cortex-M in a 16pin package – the smallest Electronics Weekly has yet heard of. Made on a 40nm process and build around Arm Cortex-M33 cores, there will be four fundamental ...

Renesas has revealed MCUs with dual 800MHz Arm Cortex-R52 cores and Ethernet for motor control in ac servo drives, inverters and industrial robots. “RZ/T2M is capable of controlling the servo motors that drive robots at extremely high speed and with high precision,” said company industrial automation v-p Toshihide Tsuboi. “I anticipate that it will contribute to the development and widespread adoption ...
