Wireless microcontrollers with SESIP3 security, tailored for IoT devices

STMicroelectronics’ STM32WBA52 microcontrollers (MCUs) combine Bluetooth LE 5.3 connectivity with ultra-low-power modes, advanced security, and a broad selection of peripherals familiar to STM32 developers.

Its arrival eases the next step for IoT device developers seeking to add wireless, cut power, strengthen cyber-protection, and boost processing in the edge. The STM32WBA wireless MCU platform includes ST patented technology. Targeted applications comprise smart home, industrial lighting, sensors, electrical switches, gateways, and portable medical devices.

Leveraging ST’s investments in capacity expansion and resiliency, the STM32WBA52 is available now in the mass market and brings proven wireless capabilities from ST’s well-known ultra-low-power STM32WB MCUs. It is boosted by an Arm Cortex-M33 core operating at 100MHz for extra computing power, and with STM32 peripherals. Read more.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch adds advanced network and security features

PoE switches designed for outdoor use in smart buildings and cities enable services ranging from public Wi-Fi and video surveillance to connected streetlights that increasingly need better reliability and cybersecurity protection. Extending the industry’s family of PoE switches with the high industry-standard outdoor protection for these applications, Microchip Technology Inc. announces its PDS-204GCO switch that adds increased cyber protection plus the redundancy required for high network availability in mission-critical applications with long-distance connectivity.

Murata demonstrates long range LoRa-based asset tracking tech at embedded world

The compact Type 2DT module, which has a 9.98 x 8.7mm footprint, integrates all the essential functionality for location based services of this kind. Consequently, it is straightforward for engineering teams to incorporate directly into their designs, with projects being completed in significantly shorter timeframes and keeping to budget limitations.

Complementing the Murata-produced passive and RF elements used in the module is Semtech’s LoRa Edge LR1110 transceiver IC. It operates within the 150 to 930MHz frequency range and provides up to 22dBm high power transmit path, thereby enabling strong signal integrity over an extensive transmission range. Read more.
