Low noise amplifier suited to non-magnetic MRI applications
Availability and full design support capabilities for a new low noise amplifier from WanTcom is announced by Richardson RFPD. The WMA7RC utilises WanTcom's proprietary low noise amplifier technologies, high frequency microelectronics assembly techniques, and long-standing reputation for high-reliability.
Gateway device overcomes LIN bus limitations
Global microelectronics engineering company, Melexis, has announced a new LIN-to-LIN gateway that overcomes the limitation of just 16 devices on a typical LIN bus. Each MLX81120 connects as a LIN slave on the main LIN bus and is controlled directly from the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). The new device allows for up to 16 LIN RGB slave modules on a private LIN bus, thereby permitting up to 196 LED lighting devices to be connected to a singl...
IoT processor licensed for NB-IoT connected devices
Licensor of signal processing IP for smarter, connected devices,CEVA, has announced that Sanechips Technology (previously named ZTE Microelectronics Technology) has licensed the CEVA-X1 IoT Processor for its Narrowband-Internet of Things (NB-IoT) product, the RoseFinch7100. Sanechips leveraged the CEVA-X1 to develop an area- and power-optimised NB-IoT solution that is capable of delivering on the promise of long-life, low-cost cellular connectivi...
