IoT security platform handles secure firmware, cryptographic keys, automated secure onboarding, security monitoring
Crypto Quantique is to make its universal IoT security platform, QuarkLink, available to semiconductor manufacturers and systems integrators that use root-of-trust (RoT) solutions of their own, or those sourced from other vendors. The platform was originally designed to work with Crypto Quantique’s own quantum-derived root-of-trust IP, called QDID. The QuarkLink platform’s capabilities are far more […]
SoC adds Wi-Fi 4, 5, 6, 6E to IoT devices
The CW641 from NXP supports the latest version of Wi-Fi while still supporting legacy versions.
MPPT chip boosts efficiency of space-constrained solar harvesters
Designers of space-constrained designs can now significantly increase runtime with the MAX20361 single-/multi-cell solar harvester with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. The industry’s smallest solar harvesting solution is ideal for space-constrained applications such as wearables and emerging internet of things (IoT) applications. Designers are often challenged with the tradeoff between […]
