Renesas Electronics Corporation announced the expansion of its 32-bit RA2 Series microcontrollers (MCUs) with 20 new RA2L1 Group MCUs, increasing the RA Family to 66 MCUs. The general-purpose RA2L1 MCUs use the Arm Cortex-M23 core operating up to 48 MHz. The RA2L1 MCUs are supported by the easy-to-use Flexible Software Package (FSP) and Renesas’ partner ecosystem, […]
Applications
What sensors allow robots to work collaboratively and safely with humans?
If advanced factories strictly concentrate on the machinery without taking human beings into account, will the robots have to consume the products they build? When Henry Ford installed the first moving assembly line to mass produce an entire automobile (Dec. 1, 1913), he more than doubled the wages of assembly line workers to stabilize his […]
Automotive 6-Axis motion tracker handles telematics, vision system apps
TDK Corporation announces worldwide availability of the InvenSense IAM-20680HP high-performance automotive monolithic 6-axis MotionTracking sensor platform for non-safety relevant automotive applications, which includes the IAM-20680HP IMU MEMS sensor and the DK-20680HP developer kit. InvenSense’s IAM-20680HP combines a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer in a thin 3 x 3 x 0.75mm (16-pin LGA) package and […]
Offline converter IC integrates PWM, control components
The latest addition to the VIPerPlus series, the VIPer31 compact high-voltage converter IC from STMicroelectronics enables robust power-converter solutions that deliver excellent reliability and meet energy-saving eco-design norms while saving bill-of-materials (BoM) costs. VIPer31 is optimized for commonly used offline AC/DC converter topologies, including isolated and non-isolated flyback, buck, and buck-boost converters. The compact, highly integrated IC requires […]
Why the 5G core converges wireless with wireline
A toolkit lets integrated operators run their mobile and fixed-line operations on a common 5G core.
Roadmap helps governments promote, fund, and implement 5G open RAN
The Open RAN Coalition’s roadmap provides guidance for governments trying to navigate through 5G by promoting cooperation, providing financial incentives, and implementing policy.
IDE offers pushbutton approach to edge AI development
Cartesiam announced the availability of NanoEdge AI Studio V2, the first integrated development environment (IDE) that simplifies the creation of machine learning, inference, and now classification libraries for direct implementation on Arm Cortex-M microcontrollers (MCUs). Thousands of commercially available industrial IoT (IIoT) embedded devices are already in production with NanoEdge AI Studio V1 for anomaly detection. With […]
CRPS supplies hit platinum-level efficiency for server, storage, networking apps
Bel Power Solutions announced the PEC Series, a new series of power supplies that offers platinum level efficiency (up to 94 percent) for server, storage, and networking applications. Based on the Common Redundant Power Supplies (CRPS) standard, the first models available in the PEC Series are the AC versions rated at 550 W, 800 W, […]
Rad-hard 14-bit ADC optimized for apps in space
Renesas is excited to introduce the ISL73141SEH ADC, delivering the industry’s highest performance for radiation-hardened space applications. The ISL73141SEH ADC is one of the key signal-path building blocks in long-duration geosynchronous/geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) communication satellites and manned spacecraft, including lunar space missions. By delivering the industry’s best dynamic and static performance, the new 14-bit […]
