What are the application considerations when selecting FPGAs?
Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are powerful and flexible devices. They combine the performance of custom designs with reprogrammability, even after the system is in the field. As a result, FPGAs are increasingly used in various systems, from the Mars rover to fighter jets and from communications and automotive systems to a growing variety of […]
Image sensors excel at near-infrared, ultra-low light surveillance work
OmniVision Technologies, Inc. announced during CES the OS02H10, a 2.9 micron, 1080p image sensor that provides a high-value option for adding the premium near-infrared (NIR) and ultra low light performance of its Nyxel and PureCel Plus technologies to mainstream surveillance cameras. This sensor also offers multiple high dynamic range (HDR) options for the best quality 1080p still and video captures of fast-moving […]
MCUs target IoT apps, consume uA/MHz in active mode, 1.6 mA in standby mode
Renesas Electronics Corporation expanded its RA4 Series microcontrollers (MCUs) with the new 32-bit RA4M3 Group of MCUs. The RA4M3 MCUs boost operating performance up to 100 MHz using the Arm Cortex-M33 core based on Armv8-M architecture.
