Smart speaker platform offers support for voice assistants
Qualcomm Technologies has introduced at a conference in Shenzhen, a Smart Audio Platform to help manufacturers accelerate the development and commercialisation of smart and networked speakers. The flexible solution offers two Qualcomm SoC options based on APQ8009 and APQ8017, with a range of software configurations that are designed to allow OEMs to create truly optimised smart speakers across various product tiers and categories.
IC facilitates batteryless RF communication
A new IC for batteryless RF communication has been launched by Panasonic, extending its range of NFC tags. The MN63Y1221-E1 guarantees global interoperability as well as low power consumption. The new IC is available from Rutronik. The MN63Y1221-E1 is compliant with JISX6319-4 (212kbps/ 424kbps), ISO/IEC14443 Type A (106kbps), and ISO/IEC14443 Type B (106kbps/212kbps/424kbps) 13.56-MHz contactless IC card standard, thus guaranteeing global intero...
We need a 'Giga-fab' for Gallium Nitride, somewhere
A new technology promises a revolution in the efficient use of electrical power. If widely deployed, this technology could have a significant impact on climate change by reducing our dependence on fossil fuel in favor of renewable energy. It could enable discontinuous advances in communications, electric vehicles and medical diagnostic equipment.
World’s first tablet with centimetre-level RTK-GNSS tech
Panasonic has announced the launch of the world’s first tablet using centimetre-level RTK-GNSS technology, in collaboration with u-blox. Toughpad, the newly born version of Panasonic’s professional grade notebooks family, is specifically designed for precision agriculture, machine control and robotic guidance applications in harsh environments and conditions. Embedded in the tablet is a u-blox NEO-M8 GNSS receiver module delivering hi...

GaN transistors demo power efficiency at APEC 2107
Gallium nitride (GaN) chips showcased their power (and how they boost power density and energy efficiency) at the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) which was held on 26th to 30th March 2017 in Tampa, Florida.
Solid capacitor range has low ESR values
Panasonic Automotive & Industrial Systems Europe has extended its product line of OS-CON Polymer-Aluminium-Solid Capacitors with three new series for environments requiring high temperatures of up to 125°C, e.g. heavy industrial and stressful environments. The products benefit from a small footprint, ESR values, low power consumption and are able to withstand high humidity (95°C/95% - 1,000 hours).
Big names gather for IoT conference/exhibition
Anglia is partnering with some of the biggest names in IoT technology to create ‘Meet the IoT’, a conference and exhibition that provides detailed and specific input on designing IoT systems, taking place at locations in the North and South of England in June.
Grid-Eye: Thermal imaging solution
Recently, the progress of uncooled infrared (IR) sensors has been remarkable due to microelectronic systems (MEMS)- based pixel structure, in which free-standing thermal isolation structures are adopted with thin film IR absorbers.
Detection distance increased in Infrared array sensor
The improved and accurate second generation of Panasonic’s Grid-EYE infrared array sensors is now available in Europe through TTI. The new high gain types (AMG8833 and AMG8834) and low gain types (AMG8853 and AMG8854) of Grid-EYE 2nd Generation benefit from an improved NETD (Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference) of 0.16°C at 10Hz and of 0.05°C at 1Hz.
