At embedded world (Hall 1 - Booth 520), Swissbit will be presenting the S-40 and S-40u series, the first SD and MICRO SD memory cards with autonomous data maintenance that require no intervention by host or application. This enables the memory cards to offer much longer data retention than conventional SD or MICRO SD cards.

Silicon Labs announced that Magellan has selected the EFM32 Giant Gecko microcontroller as the energy-friendly processing platform for the company's Echo smart sports watch, the the first “open” smart sports watch platform that enables application developers to augment their apps to be viewed on and controlled from the wrist.

Launched at CES 2014, the VibeHub platform aims to make it easier for device manufacturers to deliver multi-room networked home audio products. CSR's platform, which is now available to developers, provides synchronised multi-room audio around the home using its SyncLock technology. This technology enables devices to take content from any local or cloud-based source and create a multi-room audio experience over an existing home Wi-Fi network.

Advantest’s T2000 ISS IPE2 image-processing test module has been developed to apply greater image-processing capabilities to test today’s CMOS image sensors at higher throughput and lower cost. Advanced CMOS image sensors (CIS) are used extensively in today’s smart phones, tablet computers, digital cameras, video camcorders and other high-volume electronic products.

Information in this Research Bulletin comes from the 2014 edition of IC Insights’ IC Market Drivers report, which was released in November 2013. The 475-page report includes 330 charts and figures to analyze several existing and emerging end-use applications that will drive the IC market through the year 2017.

With a power consumption up to five times lower than state-of-the-art radios and an extremely small memory footprint, this new radio solution leads the way to new Internet of Things applications such as personal health monitoring systems and smart home applications. The integrated ultra-low power Bluetooth Smart radio solution was produced in collaboration between Imec, Holst Centre and Wicentric.

The LEA-M8F is a new precision timing GNSS module which has been introduced by u-blox. Generating a precise 30.72 MHz reference clock, the compact and surface mount GNSS module is ideal for synchronizing industrial data and communication systems such as small, femto and macro-cell mobile networks.

Combining exceptional processing and high data throughput capabilities, the new 3U VPX GPGPU from Aitech has a rugged design ideal for C4ISR and advanced sensor processing. The C530 GPGPU carries the latest industry-standard MXM modules with the ability to easily upgrade to newer modules as they become available.

The number of electronic systems within the car is rapidly increasing as manufacturers continue to add more features and functionality to their vehicles. The Automotive Electronic Systems Innovation Network believes that this adoption of intelligent systems, along with changes in regulation, legislation and consumer demands, has created a “once in a generation opportunity” for the British automotive industry.

Cars will have the ability to communicate autonomously in the near future to improve road users’ safety. Sally Ward-Foxton explores car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure technology.
