Dual power rail I2C bus GPIO expanders improve design
Diodes Incorporated has announced 16-bitPI4IOE5V6416Qand 34-bitPI4IOE5V6534Qbidirectional voltage-level translation GPIO expanders (general-purpose I/O) for automotive applications. The automotive-compliant, AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified devices with dual voltage rail provide enhanced programmable I/O for next-generation low voltage microprocessors and microcontrollers via the I2C interface.
MPUs feature power efficiency and high precision AI accelerator
Renesas Electronics hasannounced the expansion of its RZ/V Series of microprocessors (MPUs) with the new RZ/V2L MPUs designed for entry-level AI-enabled applications. As part of the RZ/V Series, the new MPUs incorporate Renesas’ exclusive AI accelerator - the DRP-AI (Dynamically Reconfigurable Processor) - to make embedded AI easier and more power efficient.
Embracing Silicon gives a product the edge
Companies are continually looking for innovative ways to differentiate their products from the crowd and to make them more competitive in both cost and performance. They can embrace the advantages of higher integration through the increasing use of ASIC technology. Here, Richard Mount of Swindon Silicon Systems discusses how constant improvements in silicon design and manufacturing processes are opening the world ofApplication Specific Integrated...
How to navigate the semiconductor shortage
The market demand for semiconductors has exploded over the past four to six months, as many industries have increased demand for these components, which are used in increasingly large volumes and applications. David Stein, Vice President, Global Supplier Management for Digi-Key Electronics explains.
The future of development tools
To be a semiconductor company used to mean that you fabricated your own chips, but today, most semiconductor companies are fabless whereby they leverage each other by allowing a chip foundry to aggregate everyone’s chip production. They benefit from unified design rules and better utilisation of production capacity. The foundries invest to improve their efficiencies and capacities by driving to new device geometry nodes and better device li...

Macronix International has announced it has been selected as a Proactive Partner in Renesas’ R-Car Consortium 2020. Macronix, which has been a member of the Consortium since the beginning, was chosen as a Proactive Partner based on its leadership in advanced Flash memory solutions for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and connected car solutions -- among the core focuses of the R-Car Consortium.
Mouser seals deal for M5Stack IoT development kits
Mouser Electronics has signed a global distribution agreement with M5Stack, a developer of stackable open-source Internet of Things (IoT) development kits.
A pizza challenge for Control Freaks
Bakkavor, provider of fresh prepared food in the UK, is enjoying the benefits of having successfully improved pizza dough base quality and consistency while at the same time reducing production costs through less maintenance and downtime at its pizza factory in Holbeach St. Marks.
Project to mimic processing of biological neural systems
CEA-Leti has announced the launch of an EU project to develop a novel class of algorithms, devices and circuits that reproduce multi-timescale processing of biological neural systems. The results will be used to build neuromorphic computing systems that can process efficiently real-world sensory signals and natural time-series data in real-time and to demonstrate this with a practical laboratory prototype.
