The Aetina AI inference system—AIE-CP1A-A1—is a small-sized embedded computer […]
How does Matter support multiple fabrics?
In this context, a “fabric” is a group of networked devices that share the same security domain enabling secure communications within the fabric. Devices in each fabric share the same top-level certificate authority (CA), a Root of Trust determined by the CA, and have a unique (usually 64-bit) identifier called the Fabric ID. To add […]

World’s highest-power MEMS switch handles 10 A
The new MM9200 is the world’s first micromechanical power switch capable of handling 10 A in a miniature 5×5-mm surface-mount package. With its ultra-low 0.010-Ω contact resistance, the new MM9200 is said to be the lowest-loss and highest power capable micro-mechanical switch ever created. The MM9200 targets a wide range of applications including industrial automation, […]
SoC with on-device learning AI accelerator targets edge IoT apps
ROHM Semiconductor announced they have developed an on-device learning[1] AI chip (SoC with on-device learning AI accelerator) for edge computer endpoints in the IoT field. The new AI chip utilizes artificial intelligence to predict failures (predictive failure detection) in electronic devices equipped with motors and sensors in real time with ultra-low power consumption. Generally, AI […]
New products from Electronica 2022
Semiconductors and modules graced the halls of Electronica 2022. Here are some of those announced at this year’s event.
iSIM puts carrier information deep inside a device
While eSIM moves carrier information from external cards to internal devices, iSIM moves the SIM down to the chipset. That reduces size and cost.
PCIe 3.0 packet switch offers fan-out, multi-host capabilities
Diodes Incorporated is introducing its latest PCIe 3.0 packet switch, the DIODES PI7C9X3G1224GP. A high-performance 12-port, 24-lane device, it can be used in edge computing, data storage, and communications infrastructure, and incorporated into host bus adaptors (HBAs), industrial controllers, and network routers. The PI7C9X3G1224GP has a low packet forwarding latency of less than 150ns (typical). […]
