Diodes has created a trio of tiny magnetic field triggered sensors that operate from low-voltage rails between 1.1 and 2V. Called AH1899x, they have two power pads and a binary output that is either high or low depending on the local field. Packaging is a 1 x 1 x 0.4mm DFN1010-4. To save power, each includes measure-then-sleep logic and only ...

Renesas has added a 24bit ΣΔ (sigma-delta) ADC to a 48 MHz Arm Cortex-M23 microprocessor, as well as dual-bank code flash for over-the-air firmware updates. “RA2A2 devices offer multiple power structures and voltage detection hardware to realise energy-efficient operation as low as 100µA/MHz in active mode, and 0.40µA in software stand-by mode,” according to the company. “An independent power supply ...

Optimised packages of AI models and workflows with API have been packaged as NIMs (Nvidia Inference Microservices) which developers can use as building blocks to develop generative AI for healthcare, from drug discovery, med-tech and digital health products. Nvidia announced 25 NIMs at its developer conference, GTC 2024, offering advanced imaging, natural language and speech recognition, digital biology generation, prediction ...

Panasonic Industry has introduced compact surface-mount electrolytic polymer hybrid capacitors that are “one size smaller than ZC series with the same capacitance” and AEC-Q200 compliant for automotive use, it said. Called the ZL series, the parts come in five case sizes from 5mm diameter (ø) x 5.8mm high (47 or 82μF), to 10ø x10.2mm (470 or 680μF). There are two ...

Custom vision-based AI software created on Nvidia’s Tao tool set can be run on Arm based Cortex-M, Cortex-A and Ethos-U microcontrollers according to Edge Impulse, which teamed up with Nvidia to create the work-flow. “Engineers can create computer vision models that can be deployed to hardware including NXP I.MXRT1170, Alif E3, STMicro STM32H747AI and Renesas CK-RA8D1,” according to Edge Impulse. ...

STMicroelectronics is emphasising power consumption and security for a range of 56MHz Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontrollers. Called STM32U0, the “MCUs can reduce energy consumption by up to 50% compared to previous product generations”, said the company. It “allows more designs to go battery-free, running solely from an energy-harvesting system such as a small photovoltaic cell”. On the same day, ST announced ...

JEDEC has published a GDDR7 Graphics Memory Standard, JESD239, to improve memory performance in applications such as AI, graphics, gaming. Specifically, the standards body has announced the publication of JESD239 Graphics Double Data Rate (GDDR7) SGRAM. Described as a groundbreaking new memory standard, JESD239 GDDR7 offers double the bandwidth over GDDR6, reaching up to 192 GB/s per device. JEDEC highlights ...

Arduino has bought out second revisions of its Nano 33 BLE and Nano 33 BLE Sense bluetooth-equipped microcontroller boards, keeping the sensor mix, but changing several of the sensor ICs. The nRF52840 IC (via a u-blox NINA-B306 module) stays the same, and still provides both an Arm Cortex-M4 processor and a Bluetooth transceiver – to go with these is an ...

Würth Elektronik is promoting PCBs with press-fit power connectors as the interconnection technology of choice for high-voltage power distribution in mobile machines and commercial vehicles. It has a design service for vehicle companies seeking custom power distribution units that handle between 60 and 1,000V “that are compact, robust and can be flexibly configured”, it said. “Press-fit technology makes it possible ...

Abaco Systems latest analogue front-end mezzanine card for FPGAs has been tailored for software defined radio, as well as electronic warfare, radar, test and measurement. FMC300, as it will be known, has 7GHz of usable analogue bandwidth, claims the company, with multiple channels offering up to 12bit 6Gsample/s ADC and up to 16bit 12Gsample/s DAC through a JESD204B/C interface. Data ...
