The CBI series of DC-UPS helps power system designers meet tight power budgets by intelligently managing the available power between the load and the battery, explains John Stone, Sales Director, Relec Electronics. Adel Systems has developed an integrated power solution, with diagnosis, back-up internal power sharing and the MODbus communication protocol. Today’s smart cities require a range of information and communications ...
Wyld Networks has announced 2H 2022 availability of a new range of Wyld Connect low-power, sensor-to-satellite LoRaWAN terminals and modules for the IoT, aiming at areas where there is little or no alternative connectivity. The full service will be available in the second half of 2022, says the company, with a partnership with Eutelsat enabling connection with a network of ...
Digi-Key Electronics, along with Machinechat and Seeed Studio, will host a webinar on Private LoRaWAN projects, dubbed ‘How to build and deploy a private LoRaWAN IoT project within days’. Taking place on Thursday 31 March 31, at 11 a.m. (CST) it will be presented by Daryl Miller, head of solutions engineering for Machinechat. You can register for it here. Its ...
Sub-threshold IC company Ambiq has announced two low-power microcontrollers for IoT end-points, one with Bluetooth. They are Apollo4 Plus and Apollo4 Blue Plus, both with an Arm Cortex-M4 core (up to 192MHz, with floating point), up to 2Mbyte MRAM (4μA/MHz operation executing from MRAM, with cache) and up to 2.75Mbyte of SRAM. The ‘Blue’ version also has a Bluetooth Low Energy 5.1 ...
Lacuna Space has announced an agreement with Omnispace to collaborate on an IoT service that will use LoRaWAN to enable direct-to-satellite communications for an IoT devices. The idea is for satellite coverage to fill connectivity gaps in hard-to-reach areas that are without cellular or Wi-Fi signals. It is planned for the service to be available to customers and distribution partners in ...
Toshiba has introduced a mosfet load switch gate driver in a 1.2 x 0.8 x 0.35mm 6bump WCSP6G the chip-scale package, suiting it to wearables and smartphones, it said. The IC, called TCK421G, can separately drive the gates of a pair of back-to-back n-channel mosfets to make a reverse-blocking switch – useful when multiplexing power sources. If reverse blocking is not needed, ...
Astrocast has made its bidirectional satellite IoT service commercially available, aimed at connecting IoT devices globally for use outside of cell-based terrestrial networks. The service uses Astrocast’s own recently launched nanosatellite constellation, in Low Earth Orbit, and it is bidding to support low-cost applications in asset tracking and telemetry. Target sectors include agriculture and livestock, utilities, transport and mining – ...
Toshiba has launched tiny load switches for wearables and IoT that consume only 80pA quiescent current – the Electronics Weekly calculator makes that 300,000 years from a CR2030 coin cell. They come in the company’s 0.65mm x 0.65mm WCSP4G package that is only 0.45mm and can switch up to 1A (2A pulsed). On-resistance varies from 46mΩ running at 5.5V, to 343mΩ ...
