Microchip has created a PIC32 family with a 300MHz 32bit Arm Cortex-M7 processor and hardware security, for industrial and consumer devices. “Application designers must consider implementing security functionality in their devices during the development process as security threats evolve and become more sophisticated,” said Microchip. The devices are called PIC32CZ CA90, and their secure module has its own microcontroller running ...

PICMG has ratified the COM-HPC 1.2 computer-on-module specification, which introduces the COM-HPC Mini form factor. “This provides high-performance capabilities in a small form factor, measuring only 95 x 70mm,” according to COM-HPC module maker Congatec. “Even devices with limited space can now benefit from the superior bandwidth and interface offerings of COM-HPC, including PCIe Gen 5 and Thunderbolt.” COM-HPC Mini ...

Samsung Electro-Mechanics is aiming at automotive powertrains and safety systems with a 10µF 50V MLCC (multi-layer ceramic capacitor) in 3.2 x 1.6mm 1206 packaging. “Thanks to the application of proprietary ceramic and electrode material atomization, alongside ultra-precision lamination, the company was able to create the 10µF MLCC in 1206 size at 50V rating,” according to the company. “Importantly, the new ...

Ideal Power is aiming to compete with smart IGBT modules, with a 1.2kV 160A (100°C, 240A at 25°C) power module built around its novel ‘B-Tran’ bi-direction semiconductor switch. Called IPA01216DFx-HS, it comes in an industry-standard 62mm package which includes an isolated driver circuit and “has significant advantages compared to IGBT modules, including lower losses and inherent bidirectionality”, according to the ...

For Nvidia Jetson Orin system-on-modules, E-con Systems has created a rugged waterproof camera aimed at autonomous mobility applications such as delivery robots and agriculture vehicles. SturdeCam31 is a 3Mpixel camera built around Sony’s ISX031 sensor. “Leveraging Sony’s sub-pixel HDR technology, SturdeCam31 has been tuned to provide HDR performance up to 120dB and LFM [LED flicker mitigation], thereby providing a solution ...

Aiming at industrial and automotive applications, Diodes has introduced a portfolio of Hall-effect sensors for measuring linear and angular speed and direction. Called AH39xxQ, “they also have a 40V absolute maximum rating, enabling them to safely handle 40V load dumps”, according to the company. “Additionally, -18V of reverse voltage protection guards against incorrect battery connections. For added robustness, the ESD ...

SiPearl, which is building the EU-funded Europrocessor, is to supply JUPITER, the European exascale supercomputer owned by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking. JUPITER will be installed at the Forschungszentrum Jülich campus in North Rhine-Westphalia and built by a consortium composed of Eviden (the Atos Group) and ParTec (the German modular supercomputing company). The expected budget is €273 million. The JUPITER general-purpose ...

Teledyne e2v is developing a fully radiation-tolerant (RT) space computing reference design, enabling high-speed data routing in space applications. Based on an Arm Cortex-A72, and with multiple high-speed interfaces, it will process and route data from various sources, such as RF front ends, image sensors and radars. Target use cases for the design include Earth observation, SATCOM applications, defence in ...

Bosch Quantum Sensing has revealed a photo of its quantum magnetometer prototype (right). “In terms of its measurement accuracy, the Bosch sensor prototype is the smallest currently available – about the size of a cell phone”, according to the company, which was started by Bosch in 2022. “Our goal is to miniaturise quantum sensors to the point where they can ...

For coastal and mountainous terrain, Anritsu has added an up-link interference measurement to its some of its portable 5G and LTE TDD testers. At issue are stray signals carried long distances into cells where they interfere with the TDD up-link. The company explained: For 5G networks with a coastal or mountainous terrain, RF down-link transmissions readily become subject to atmospheric ...
