Electronic Specifier takes a look at the top 5 micro products to have been released in July 2023.

Networking options enhance vehicle network processors

In stock at authorised distributor Mouser Electronics is the S32G3 vehicle network processors from NXP Semiconductors.

The high-performance processors combine controller area network (CAN), local interconnect network (LIN), and FlexRay networking with high data rate Ethernet networking, supporting the needs of complex vehicle architectures involving service-oriented gateways, vehicle computers, domain controllers, safety processors, and zonal processors.

The S32G3 vehicle network processors support a range of automotive applications, including Firmware Over-the-Air (FOTA), zonal gateways, safety processors, automotive access points, and vehicle compute.

Nuvoton commits to 8-bit MCU production sustainability

Nuvoton Technology has launched its MUG51 8-bit MCU series of low power microcontrollers designed for battery-free devices.

Nuvoton is committed to sustainable 8-bit MCU production and product longevity to ensure a reliable supply, giving customers the confidence to commit to long-term products, platforms, and projects.

The low power MUG51 series incorporates an 1T 8051 core microcontroller operating at 7.37MHz, plus 16KB Flash APROM and 1KB SRAM memory within the chip.

Torex Semiconductor launch new voltage detector

Torex Semiconductor has launched a new voltage detector – XC6138 series.

The XC6138 series is a voltage detector with a separate power supply pin and voltage detection pin (sense pin). The sense pin supports high withstand voltage 76V operation. This allows direct monitoring of 12V/24V and similar power lines without using divided resistance, such as conventional low withstand voltage products, thus contributing to higher accuracy, lower power consumption, reduced use of space, and better reliability.

Further, with general voltage detectors only the detection voltage can be freely set with the release voltage being set in advance by the hysteresis width (approximately detection voltage × 5%). However, with this product, the user can set both the detection voltage and the release voltage.

Application-specific SMD heat sinks from CTX

CTX expands its line of SMD heat sinks.

In addition to standard SMD heat sinks for all common D-PAK modules, the leading supplier of custom cooling solutions now also offers extruded and cold extruded aluminium SMD heat sinks that are designed and produced for the exact thermal requirements.

Compared to standard SMD heat sinks, which are manufactured from copper by means of stamping and forming and then tinned, extruded or cold extruded aluminium SMD heat sinks feature important advantages: Both processes make it possible to implement highly individual heat sink geometries with very large surfaces.

Infineon extends its Edge AI capabilities

Infineon has announced it is teaming with Edge Impulse to extend its Tiny Machine Learning-based AI development tools for the PSoC 63 Bluetooth LE microcontroller (MCU).

Developers of AI-enabled IoT applications can now also build edge Machine Learning (ML) applications using the Edge Impulse Studio environment for deployment on high-performance, low-power PSoC 63 Bluetooth LE MCUs.

This collaboration allows customers added flexibility and choice-of-platforms to natively develop and configure ML applications for systems based on PSoC 63 Bluetooth LE MCU devices, which provide 150MHz Arm CPU performance with low-power connectivity and a rich suite of peripheral options.
