STMicroelectronics has revealed the next generation of its short-range wireless microcontrollers.

The global microprocessor industry is experiencing rapid growth and serves a vital function in various sectors such as consumer electronics, automotive, healthcare, and telecommunications.

Lightmatter, a company founded by three MIT alumni, is reimagining the very essence of the microchip, transcending conventional reliance on electrical signals by integrating light, or photons, for data processing and communication.

Infineon has announced its strategic collaboration with Qt Group for its TRAVEO T2G cluster microcontrollers.

The RZ/V2H high-end AI MPU from Renesas boasts the company’s proprietary dynamically reconfigurable processor AI accelerator (DRP-AI3), quad Arm Cortex-A55 (1.8 GHz) Linux processors, and dual Cortex-R8 (800 MHz) real-time processors.

AI chip giant Nvidia recently hit a market valuation of $2 trillion, emphasising the burgeoning demand for its technology amidst an AI surge. This valuation spike occurred after Nvidia's shares climbed over 4% in early trading last week, though they later saw a minor pullback.

Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) are developing computer simulation codes to boost microchip production through the use of plasma – an electrically charged state of matter pivotal in fusion research.

In stock at authorised distributor Mouser Electronics is the DA14592 Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) 5.2 system-on-chip (SoC) with embedded flash from Renesas Electronics.

Torex Semiconductor has launched a new product, step-down DC/DC converter – XC9702 series.

Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have made an advancement in the field of AI with the development of a chip that leverages light waves for computation, rather than traditional electricity.
