FPGA burst-mode receiver enables 10G PON in SFP and XFP footprints
While most current optical line terminal (OLT) implementations are in central office formats with large port counts in huge chassis configurations, there is growing demand amongst system architects, chief technology officers and carriers for fewer port, compact, low-power and low-cost form factors for 10G passive optical network (PON) OLTs. Microchip Technology Inc., through its Microsemi […]
Embedded Computing LEAP Awards winners announced at gala dinner
At the LEAP Awards dinner gala in Costa Mesa, Calif., the following companies were awarded trophies in the category of Embedded Computing. This year’s inaugural LEAP Awards competition honored ground-breaking new products that set a new standard for innovation. Judges rated candidates on categories that included societal impact, industry impact, technical sophistication, creativity, and value […]
SoC is based on royalty-free RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA)
In a new era of computing driven by the convergence of 5G, machine learning and the internet of things (IoT), embedded developers need the richness of Linux-based operating systems. These must meet deterministic system requirements in ever lower power, thermally constrained design environments—all while addressing critical security and reliability requirements. Traditional system-on-chip (SoC) field programmable […]
electronica 2018: Get smart, Get small, Get integrated
I thought I heard about 100 different languages spoken as I crisscrossed 17 halls over four days in Munich at electronica 2018 with an average of eight miles a day of walking. I was wrong. It was closer to 180 languages. Tens of thousands of attendees were laser-focused on simplifying design and integrating devices and […]
Evaluating options for USB Type-C connections
Port controllers, transceivers, and special dc/dc converters now simplify the task of adding USB Type-C functions. DANIEL LEIH, MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY INC. CONSIDER THE VIRTUES of the USB-C connector. In addition to its 10 Gbit/sec (Gbps) bandwidth and Alt Mode video capabilities, two attributes in particular make this form factor incredibly valuable: a reversible plug and […]
LoRa SiP includes 32-bit MCU, LoRa transceiver and software stack
LoRa (Long Range) technology is extending the reach of the Internet of Things by combining long-range wireless connectivity with low-power performance. To accelerate the development of LoRa-based connected solutions, Microchip Technology Inc. introduced a highly integrated LoRa System-in-Package (SiP) family with an ultra-low-power 32-bit microcontroller (MCU), sub-GHz RF LoRa transceiver and software stack. The SAM R34/35 SiPs come with […]
