Nanosecond drivers with ultra-short pulses and high power
LASER COMPONENTS now has two compact, powerful nanosecond drivers for laser diodes in its range of products. LDP-AV 16N45-40 and LDP-AV 1N50-450 were developed by the manufacturer PicoLAS primarily for use in LiDAR applications.
Developing vision systems with dissimilar sensors
Drones, intelligent cars and augmented or virtual reality (AR/VR) headsets all use multiple image sensors, often of different types, to capture data about their operating environment. To supply the image data the system needs, each sensor requires a connection to the system’s application processor (AP), which presents the design challenge of developing vision systems with dissimilar sensors for embedded engineers.
ADAS: Rebirth for the automotive industry
At Yole, analysts estimate, the global market for radars, cameras, LiDARs and computingADAS should reach $8.7bn in 2020. Almost half of this market revenue will be generated by radars with $3.8bn, followed by cameras with $3.5bn. LiDARs will not be significant, accounting for$0.04bn and computing ADAS will generate $1.4bn.
How is COVID-19 shaping the future mobility landscape?
During the COVID-19 outbreak, the automotive industry has been hit hard by shutdowns of factories and sales around the world. The pandemic has slowed down global car sales and is shifting consumer behaviours in travel. Over the long term, COVID-19 could have a lasting impact on the mobility landscape.
Spiking neural network-based chip from Imec
Imec has presented a chip that processes radar signals using a spiking recurrent neural network. The spiking neural network-based mimics the way groups of biological neurons operate to recognize temporal patterns, imec’s chip consumes 100 times less power than traditional implementations while featuring a tenfold reduction in latency – enabling almost instantaneous decision-making.
The autonomous industrial revolution
From the invention of the cotton gin and the steam engine during the first industrial revolution to the development of the assembly line during the second revolution, the world has taken great leaps forward thanks to the rapid adoption of new technology. Andreas Parr, Bob Scannell and Sarven Ipek of Analog Devices look at how robotics is set to take centre stage in the autonomous industrial revolution.
enetSEAL+ connector system for sealed data communication
Mouser Electronics is now stocking the enetSEAL+ connector system from TE Connectivity (TE).TE’s enetSEAL+ connector system, available from Mouser Electronics, offers environmental protection by providing sealing to the wires and between the connector halves.
Automotive lighting: from vision to driving assistance
“Autonomous vehicle technologies have a direct impact on traditional vehicles market and behind that the automotive lighting industry,”saidMartin Vallo, PhD., Technology & Market Analyst, Solid-state Lighting atYole Développement (Yole).
Sensors are at the heart of robotic mobility disruption
“Disruption is coming to our streets and cities”said Pierre Cambou, Principal analyst, Imaging, at Yole.“Mobility has defined the way humans have organised their society for ages and our world is currently being reimagined around a new generation of robotic vehicles. They appeared insignificant two years ago when we published our first report on the matter, today they are on the brink of changing the world as we know it."
ICs enable LiDAR systems to work at higher speeds
The requirement for LiDAR systems to enable higher-speed autonomous driving is being met by two devices unveiled by Maxim Integrated Products at embedded world 2020 in Nuremberg (February 25-27).
