Custom chip delivers tablet touch to the telly
Development of a custom IC for ZRRO Technologies to help produce an innovative new remote controller that brings tablet and mobile phone-like gaming experiences to users’ televisions was expedited by a team from Arrow Electronics. The Kickstarter-funded project incorporates ZRRO’s zTOUCH 3D-sensing technology and enables users to interact with their TVs from the couch using a hover-and-touch remote controller with the sensing capabili...
System on module simplifies IoT design
An exclusive System on Module (SoM) that helps engineers exploit the new ARM-powered Freescale QorIQ LS1021A communication processor has been unveiled by Arrow Electronics, together with two associated carrier boards that give a choice of platforms for application development. Arrow developed the ECUcore-1021 SoM and boards together with Freescale and automation technology systems specialist SYS TEC electronic.
Strange magnetic behaviour has quantum computing potential
An exotic kind of magnetic behavior, driven by the mere proximity of two materials, has been analysed by a team of researchers at MIT and elsewhere, using a technique called spin-polarised neutron reflectometry. They say the finding could be used to probe a variety of exotic physical phenomena, and could ultimately be used to produce key components of future quantum computers.
Snapdragon development board covers host of applications
DragonBoard 410c, a low-cost development board design based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor is on sale at Arrow Electronics. Arrow will manufacture and distribute the DragonBoard 410c to community developers and commercial customers. The credit card-sized kit is based on Linaro’s 96Boards specification and enables developers, makers, universities and commercial manufacturers to use the Snapdragon 410 processor for things such as ne...
Open-source board based on i.MX7 microprocessor
An open-source, specification-compliant board that is based on the new Freescale i.MX 7 microprocessor was announced at the Freescale Technology Forum by Arrow Electronics. Arrow also collaborated with Qualcomm Atheros, a subsidiary of Qualcomm on the board’s Bluetooth & Wi-Fi capabilities and with Linear Technologies on the board’s power supply.
Make motors easy to connect
Murrelektronik's power connectors (M12, M15 and M23) make motors easy to connect. The M12 power connector is the most compact and powerful 5 pole M12 connector on the market. The M15 power standard connection technology of the MQ15-X-Power connector enables extremely quick assembly. Murrelektronik's M23 connectors are an established standard solution to connect servo motors.
Sales gains prompt TTI to establish Turkey base
Solid growth rates in the Turkish market have encouraged TTI to open a new office in Turkey.

Sustainability issues of the electronics lifecycle
The Green Electronics Council has unveiled the full list of sessions and speakers for the Emerging Green Conference, the premiere international green-electronics conference in 2015. Emerging Green will be composed of 13 tracks and five general sessions. The experts in each will join previously announced keynote speakers from HP, Facebook, Electronic Recyclers International and author Andrew Winston as the three-day conference explores issues of e...
Temperature transmitter withstands fire, explosions
The 7501 is a field mounted explosion- and flame-proof temperature transmitter from PR Electronics with local operator interface for easy programming, review and diagnostics of process values in the field. The user can easily configure the transmitter from the front of the housing in any environment by simply touching the optical buttons – even when wearing gloves.
Single chip module provides IoT-ready compactness
Freescale Semiconductor has introduced the world’s smallest Single Chip Module (SCM) for the IoT. As the IoT requires more processing horsepower to be packed into ever smaller spaces, Freescale’s SCM line of products can integrate hundreds of components including processors, memory, power management and RF parts, which would otherwise be deployed on a 6" board, into a tiny 17x14x1.7mm package.
