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). […]
LTE-M: Delivering a future-proof IoT
By Dima Feldman, VP of Product Management and Marketing at Sony Semiconductor Israel The CAT-1 LTE modem was initially defined in 2008 as a low-cost, low-power alternative to connect IoT devices that needed to transfer limited amounts of data. However, vendors and network providers at that time focused on higher throughput. The actual device introduction […]
Where are cloud connected relays used?
Relays are humble devices, but they are not immune to being impacted by the Internet of Things. Electromechanical relays, solid-state relays, and MEMs relays are among the numerous devices in the IoT that can connect to the cloud. Some relays include Wi-Fi controllers or Bluetooth, some use power over Ethernet (PoE), and others use voice […]
Ultra-low-power bi-directional wireless mesh network modules allow efficient antenna, sensor design
NeoCortec is releasing its new P Series of wireless NeoMesh modules at Electronica in Munich from 15th to 18th November 2022 in Hall B5 at Stand W11. Featuring an RF/IO antenna connection placed under the module on solder pads for quick and easy soldering to any PCB, the P Series modules allow for a more efficient […]
NFC reader ICs upgraded performance
Panthronics AG has extended its portfolio of high-performance NFC reader ICs with two new products, giving OEMs new options to design NFC capability into IoT devices and embedded and mobile computing systems. The new PTX105R reader for IoT and consumer electronics devices features a streamlined RF system which allows Panthronics to offer the PTX105R at a […]
Full HD global shutter camera module targets edge AI apps
e-con Systems launches NeduCAM25, a full HD global shutter FPD-LINK III camera module. NeduCAM25 is the first product launched in the NeduCAM series – a portfolio of FPD-Link III cameras from e-con Systems. NeduCAM25 is based on onsemi’s AR0234 sensor. The global shutter feature of this camera helps to capture fast-moving objects without any rolling […]
