3D-Compatible Germanium nMOS Gate stack has high mobility
At this week’s IEEE IEDM conference, imec, the world-leading research and innovation hub in nano-electronics and digital technologies showed for the first time a silicon (Si)-passivated germanium (Ge) nMOS gate stack with dramatically reduced interface defect density (DIT) reaching the same level as a Si gate stack and with high mobility and reduced positive bias temperature instability (PBTI).
Will Bluetooth replace the wire?
As Jonny McClintock, Director of aptX Sales and Marketing, Qualcomm aptX explains,Bluetooth is widely used as a wireless connection for audio applications including phones, media players and wearables, removing the need for cables. The combination of the AD2P protocol and frame-based codecs used in many Bluetooth stereo audio implementations has led to excessive latency and acoustic performance significantly below CD quality.
Predictions for next year's electronics industry
As 2016 draws to a close, embedded systems consultancy ByteSnap Design share their predictions for what may dominate the electronics industry in 2017.
Europe’s tech industry is one of 2016’s biggest winners
The European technology industry has come of age in 2016, according to analysis by tech M&A advisory firm Magister Advisors. Unprecedented M&A interest from Asian buyers, together with a strong IPO market for the best European tech businesses, has driven a surge in 'blockbuster' deals.
First eLAA over-the-air trial
Qualcomm Technologies and SK Telecom have announced the first over-the-air technology demonstration of eLAA (Enhanced Licensed Assisted Access) and LAA (Licensed Assisted Access) that utilises both licensed and unlicensed spectrums at SK Telecom's Corporate R&D centre in Bundang, South Korea.
Powerful, energy-efficient processors designed for embedded computing
The Snapdragon 600E and 410E processors, for embedded applications in many verticals such as digital signage, set-top-boxes, medical imaging, point of sale systems, industrial robotics, and other IoT related applications have been announced byQualcomm Incorporated's subsidiary Qualcomm Technologies.
Supporting Verizon’s LTE Cat M1 network for IoT
u-blox has announced plans to launch a module supporting Verizon's new Category M1 (Cat M1) LTE network, designed to allow a larger number of devices to connect to the IoT. The SARA-R404M module is based on Qualcomm Technologies’ MDM9206 LTE modem and is anticipated to be available for the Q4 2016 launch of Verizon's LTE Cat M1 network, which is scheduled to achieve nationwide US coverage by the end of Q1 2017.
Intelligent charge controller supports various power levels
A highly integrated single chip power bank solution has been introduced by ON Semiconductor for the development of next-gen Li-Ion powered products. The LC709501F total Li-Ion battery solution offers broad power and voltage/current output range of 5, 9 and 12V operation, with a maximum charge/discharge capability of up to 30W through simple FET selection.
World's first MulteFire over-the-air connection
Qualcomm announced that its subsidiary, Qualcomm Technologies, has successfully made the world's first over-the-air connection via MulteFire using LBT. MulteFire is a next-gen mobile cellular technology based on LTE that operates solely in unlicensed spectrum. As part of the test, Qualcomm demonstrated that MulteFire, with full co-existence capability in operation at all times, can provide LTE-like performance while fairly co-existing with Wi-Fi ...
The world’s first high-end Tesla headphones with Bluetooth
Uncompromising sound without wires: beyerdynamic has displayed the world’s first high-end Tesla headphones with Bluetooth transmission featuring the aptXTM HD standard in Berlin (hall 1.2, booth 204) from the 2nd to 7th September. This functional design study is the result of co-operation with Astell&Kern. It pushes the Korean manufacturer’s players to their limits and also makes Bluetooth interesting for more discerning listeners...
