Putting the pieces together in the autonomous jigsaw
Steve Rogerson looks at some of the discussions that will be coming up in the Automotive Conference at this year’s electronica as the industry prepares for autonomous vehicles.
Water Industry gets smart on Big Data
The global market for control and monitoring systems in the water sector is estimated to be worth $21.3 billion in 2016, growing to $30.1 billion in 2021. Spending on advanced data management and analysis solutions is expected to grow even faster, at 11.9% a year. In the utility sector, spending on digital and smart solutions is estimated to be worth $17.7 billion in 2016.Managing water relies on heavy physical infrastructure and inherently react...
SoC Fabric for IoT from Dolphin Integration
Launching any SoC on a highly competitive market demands a differentiation for which Hisense was searching for an ultra low-power solution to extend battery life-time of wireless-connected devices. Designing such an integrated circuit introduces new challenges: silicon area, power consumption and BoM cost must be aggressively reduced, while dealing with noise issues in a mixed-signal SoC embedding multiple power domains with diverse power modes.
Sivers IMA finalises 10 Gbps EU project
Sivers IMA AB has participated in the ICT project E3Network supported by the European Union through the FP7 program and contributed with mm‐wave knowhow and state of the art transceivers for mm‐wave backhaul. This project was initiated in December 2012 and finalised with good results in May 2016. A final review was held in Brussels mid‐September 2016. Within the E3network project, a prototype of a very high‐speed (10 Gbps) E‐band point...
Diamonds make a device cooler
Powerful electronic components can get very hot. When many components are combined into a single semiconductor chip, heating can become a real problem. An overheating electronic component wastes energy and is at risk of behaving unpredictably or failing altogether. Consequently, thermal management is a vital design consideration.This becomes particularly important in devices made from gallium nitride.
A conscious coupling of magnetic and electric materials
Scientists have successfully paired ferroelectric and ferrimagnetic materials so that their alignment can be controlled with a small electric field at near room temperatures, an achievement that could open doors to ultra low-power microprocessors, storage devices and next-generation electronics.The work, co-led by researchers at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Cornell University, is described in...
What’s next for mobility? Find out at electronica
In the future, mobility will be shaped by developments in automotive electronics - smart lighting, autonomous driving and connected vehicles (to name just a few buzzwords) are closely related to electronic components and software developed around the world now and in the future. electronica, to be held in Munich from 8th-11th November 2016, will shed light on the latest developments. Experts will also discuss the industry's latest challenges and ...
MLCC series previewing at Medical Electronics Symposium 2016
