MEMS oscillators from SiTime have been added to the range of IoT-targeted frequency control products available from AEL Crystals. The company explains that the IoT brings fresh challenges for frequency control manufacture as it requires products to accommodate multiple protocols, such as Bluetooth, ZigBee, Z-Wave, 6LoWPAN, CSR Mesh / Bluetooth Low Energy, Sigfox and Thread. Designs are also expected to require lower power consumption ...
Based on Toshiba’s TC35680 chip controller, the PAN1762 is the latest RF module from Panasonic that is now available from Mouser. The low power Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) 5.0 module is designed for used in the IoT, beacon and mesh networks to transmit large amounts of data wirelessly. The single-chip controller has an Arm Cortex-M0 core with a serial wire debug (SWD) interface and ...
Developers and makers can take an existing microcontroller application that does not have wireless connectivity and, using just two GPIO pins, add it without modifying the original firmware, via IoTize‘s TapNLink products for Bluetooth and near field communications (NFC) products. The French start up company has signed a distribution agreement with Digi-Key to resell the wireless connectivity products for microcontroller-based embedded systems as ...
Technical service provider, TÜV SÜD, has launched its IoT cellular testing service. The service will be accommodated within the existing facility, claimed to be the only laboratory in the UK to offer a dedicated Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT) test and certification service. Explaining the rationale for the service, TÜV SÜD explained that NB-IoT enables multiple machines, devices and services to be connected ...
Maxim’s DS2477 secure co-processor is intended to protect industrial, medical and IoT applications with authentication and physical security. “It is a secure I2C co-processor with built-in 1-Wire master that combines FIPS202-compliant secure hash algorithm [SHA-3] challenge and response authentication with Maxim’s ChipDNA feature to provide protection against security attacks,” said Mouser, which is stocking the part. ChipDNA is Maxin’s brand for ...
To secure the IoT, smart homes, medical devices and drones, Infineon’s Optiga Trust X supports a high-speed I²C communication interface up to 1MHz. Typical current consumption is 20mA, which drops to 70µA in sleep mode. The elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) NIST P256, AES128 and SHA-256 has built-in tamper-proof non volatile memory to enhance system security. The Optiga Trust X is ...
Bulgin’s 4000 series of environmentally sealed circular connectors are now available in a ‘smart’ variant from RS Components. They include a programmable memory for data monitoring and IoT applications. Programmability and over the air updates are via an integrated EEPROM. The connector is not designed to read data output from a sensor, only to identify issues such as an incorrect sensor ...
SolidRun has teamed up with wireless module firm U-blox to create gateways and single board computers for IoT. They include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth personal area networking, Wirepas Mesh, cellular connectivity, as well as USB and a 10/100/1000 wired Ethernet. Processing comes from an NXP i.MX6 Arm Cortex-A9 processor, with either single, dual or quad-cores, working with up to 2Gbyte of ...
