Mixed Signal/Analog

A new 0-360° angle sensor IC has been introduced by Allegro MicroSystems. It provides contactless high resolution angular position information based on magnetic Circular Vertical Hall (CVH) technology. Allegro’s A1330 devices include a System-on-Chip (SoC) architecture that includes: a CVH front end, digital signal processing, and either an analogue or digital PWM output signal.

Based on HCE (Host Card Emulation) technology, Erste Bank und Sparkassen recently launched the first mobile payment wallet in the Austrian market within its 'George Go' app. It is powered by G+D Mobile Security’s Convego CloudPay solution and initially supports Mastercard and at a later stage also other card products of the portfolio. This mobile payment solution is the first commercial launch based on the framework agreement between E...

  RFID technology company, PervasID, has announced a complete single source solution that can detect, read and monitor RFID tags with what it claims to be the highest levels of accuracy (99%+). This allows goods to be tracked throughout their retail journey through warehouses or DCs, and from loading bays and storage areas in stores to front of store, checkout and store exit.

Through West Control Solutions' PMA vision, it has developed the KS98-2. This freely-programmable, simple to upgrade unit is highly suited to deployment in automated production processes - providing a compact and cost effective multifunction solution. Targeted at application areas like foundries, hardening shops, industrial climate control systems and building automation equipment, the KS98-2 provides precision process control capabilities and an...

  A platform that allows brands to combine live audio and visual streaming through its own in-house entertainment platform direct to customer's mobile phones, named DreamStream X, has been announced by Immedia Group.

GL Communications has announced today its enhanced Voice Analysis Testing Tools for testing voice while connected to mobile phones or FXO (2-wire analogue) devices. Robert Bichefsky, a Senior Manager for product development at GL Communications, said: "The VQuad with Dual UTA HD can work with variety of networks, including Wireless (legacy 2G/3G, 4G, VoLTE, 5G), VoIP, 2-wire Analogue (simulate analogue phone), 4-wire Analogue (headset connection)...

  Supplier of on-demand microwave and RF components, Fairview Microwave has introduced a new series of low pass and bandpass filters for use with multiple popular frequency bands.

Analog Devices has introduced a precision integrated analogue front end, controller, and Pulse-Width Modulator (PWM) for battery testing and formation capable of increasing system accuracy and efficiency in lithium-ion battery formation and grading. Compared to conventional technology, the new AD8452 provides 50% more channels in the same amount of space, adding capacity and increasing battery production throughput.

Fed up of poor WiFi signal? A team of researchers led by Dartmouth College may have finally solved the problem of how to inexpensively improve wireless signal strength for indoor spaces with multiple rooms. The same technology for enhancing office and home WiFi signals can also be used to strengthen wireless security. The research, presented on 8th November at ACM's BuildSys 2017 in Delft, Netherlands, relies on 3D printing to produce a...

  The completion of a $865,000 (£640,000) funding round has been announced by Thalia Design Automation that will allow it to drive market uptake of its methodology solutions for analogue IP (intellectual property) re-use, design migration and derivative creation.
