Tool box offers rental route to automotive test
The complexity of automobile electronics systems continues to increase. Modern vehicles demand a growing number of electronic control units (ECUs) and sensors, plus higher data rate serial buses and a broadening range of wireless connectivity options. Through this technology, road users can benefit from superior navigation, telematics, protection, climate control and infotainment functions, resulting in improved comfort, greater access to media c...
TVS diode arrays combine low capacitance & low leakage
Littelfuse has introduced two series of low capacitance TVS diode arrays optimised for protecting the NFC circuits of smartphones, tablets and other portable communication products from ESD damage. The SP3118 and SP3130 series TVS diode arrays include back-to-back TVS diodes fabricated in a proprietary silicon avalanche technology that absorb repetitive ESD strikes safely up to the maximum level specified in the IEC61000-4-2 international standar...
Connectors contribute to thinner, lighter mobile computers
A manufacturer of passive components and interconnect solutions, AVX Corporation is the only authorised supplier of Kyocera Electronic Devices to the Americas and Europe, announces the 6411 series PCI Express M.2 connectors from Kyocera Connector Products.
Plug-and-play NFC portfolio expanded
The portfolio of plug-and-play (Near Field Communication) NFC solutions available from NXP has been extended with Arduino add-on boards and the release of the PN7150 NFC controller. This enhanced portfolio aims to make the integration of NFC technology in consumer electronic devices (especially in OS-based systems), easier and faster.
3.0x3.2mm BLE SoC targets wearable & IoT applications
Designed for next-gen wearables and space-constrained IoT applications, Nordic Semiconductor has announced that the nRF52832 BLE SoC is now available in a WL-CSP measuring 3.0x3.2mm. It offers the same full feature set in one quarter of the footprint area of the company's standard 6.0x6.0mm QFN48-packaged nRF52832.
Open source BLE beacon is simple to program & debug
Entering its last week on Kickstarter for delivery in December (campaign ends Friday 5th August at 8pm GMT) the $30 Puck.js has all the required programing and debug software tools built-in and runs from a single Nordic Semiconductor nRF52832 BLE SoC with built-in ARM Cortex M4F processor.
A wireless and wearable toxic-gas detector
MIT researchers have developed low-cost chemical sensors, made from chemically altered carbon nanotubes, that enable smartphones or other wireless devices to detect trace amounts of toxic gases.Using the sensors, the researchers hope to design lightweight, inexpensive RFID badges to be used for personal safety and security. Such badges could be worn by soldiers on the battlefield to rapidly detect the presence of chemical weapons and by people wh...

STMicroelectronics is showcasing its latest products and technologies for the mobile, wearable and IoT applications in Hall N1 Booth E50 at Mobile World Congress Shanghai, 29thJune to 1st July, 2016.
Combining passwords & tokens improves mobile security
Online applications on mobile devices require new methods of secured log-in. The FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance has developed security standards for strong authentication that are simple to use and protect more efficiently from fraud. Infineon Technologies has announced the first FIDO-certified BLE reference design for wireless authentication tokens.
Customisable power supplies come in six variants
A brand new range of highly customisable power supplies – the Quint Power range from Phoenix Contact is now available at Conrad Business Supplies. Quint Power is said to be the first parameterisable power supply in the world. It can be supplied to customers pre-configured allowing them to implement power directly into their systems with no additional configuration required in manufacturing.
