Cables & modules facilitate more effective bridging to USB
FTDI Chip has introduced the highly advanced LC231X USB-to-serial UART bridging module, which is based on the company’s FT231X interface IC. This compact (15.24x28.19mm), cost-effective unit presents engineers with jumper-selectable power to external I/O (either 3.3V or 5V, as required) and UART interface with full modem handshaking control at up to 3MBaud data rate.
Extending flexibility of STM32 Ecosystem
STMicroelectronics continues to enhance flexibility for developers working with high-performance STM32F722/723 microcontrollers. A new-generation Discovery kit provides access to the STM32F723’s unique high-speed USB PHY, and a new STM32 Nucleo-144 board supports the STM32F722.With rich on-board features including MEMS microphones and sensors, an audio codec, and a display for user-interface development, the STM32 Discovery kits are ready t...
Paving a faster and smoother path to market
Stefan Ingenhaag, Senior Engineer MCU/MPU Solution Marketing ICBG, Renesas Electronics Europe, explains how integrated hardware/software solutions can help shorten the development cycle.
Optical sensor aids heart rate monitoring
ROHM has recently announced the availability of an optical sensor for heart rate monitoring optimised for wearable devices such as sports bands and smart watches. The BH1790GLC leverages proprietary analog circuit technology and optical sensor expertise to improve sensitivity, allowing pulse waves to be detected with high accuracy, even with low LED brightness, resulting in class-leading low power consumption.
Display modules enable seamless GUI integration
The gen4 series from 4D Systems is a new range of slim and sleek display modules with an optional optically bonded cover lens bezel for seamless and cost effective integration of a Graphical User Interface to virtually any application. These display modules are designed specifically for ease-of-use and rapid development cycles, with careful consideration for space requirements and functionality.
Low power MCUs offer top peripheral integration
Through the addition of larger memories, enhanced graphics support, extra peripherals, and increased power-saving flexibility,the STM32L496 and STM32L4A6 microcontrollers (MCU) from STMicroelectronics extend the fusion of ARM Cortex-M4F core performance and proprietary low power technologies.Bigger on-chip RAM, now up to 320kB, complements the newly added ST Chrom-ART Accelerator graphics engine for smoother display performance in energy-consciou...
Extension board aids LoRa-based designs
The STM32 LoRaWAN Discovery Board from STMicroelectronics (ST) is now available at Mouser Electronics . The new Discovery Kit and I-NUCLEO-LRWAN1 STM32 LoRa Arduino-compatible extension board provides a development platform for learning and evaluating solutions based on LoRa and FSK/OOK radio frequency (RF) communication.
Boards support LPWAN evaluation for IoT connectivity
Two new ready-to-use prototype boards available from STMicroelectronics slash the cost for developers to start evaluating LoRaWANand other LPWAN technologies including WM-Bus and 6LoWPAN. The boards are based on the smallest and lowest-power LoRaWAN modules that exist on the market today, with a footprint not larger than 13x12mm and power consumption in the range of 1.2µA in standby mode.
Cables & modules facilitate more effective bridging to USB
FTDI Chip has added to the breadth of supporting products within its X-Chip portfolio. Firstly, there is the introduction of the highly advanced LC231X USB-to-serial UART bridging module, which is based on the company’s FT231X interface IC. This compact (15.24mm x 28.19mm) and highly cost-effective unit presents engineers with jumper-selectable power to external I/O (either 3.3V or 5V, as required) and UART interface with full modem handsha...
Post-print customisation of 3D prints
3Dprinting makes all conceivable varieties of layered, three-dimensional objects possible, a benefit appreciated by industry and private users alike. However, once an object is printed, any freedom of design is a thing of the past and the workpiece can no longer be modified. To address this restriction, computer scientists at Saarland University are working on the integration of specifically developed components at predefined points within such3D...
