Lattice's FPGA enables industrial USB 3.0 camera
Lattice Semiconductor announced that its MachXO3 FPGA and USB 3.0 sensor bridge reference design are integrated in a USB 3.0 camera module from Leopard Imaging. The MachXO3 FPGA and the USB 3.0 sensor bridge reference design work together to convert the subLVDS video signal from the image sensor used in the module to a parallel format that can interface with the camera’s USB 3.0 controller.
ARM continues to support China’s expanding IoT industry
ARM is continuing its support for China’s expanding IoT industry by providing a new cloud-enabled education kit for universities. The ARM IoT Education Kit will teach students how to use the ARM mbed IoT Device Platform, create smartphone apps and control connected devices such as a robot or a mini weather station to gather temperature, humidity and air pressure data.
TVS diodes suit industrial & avionics applications
Microsemi has announced a unique series of patented, ultra-low capacitance power Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diode products. The devices provide protection of high speed data lines and other applications where the threat requirement’s magnitude greatly surpasses the capability of other typical low capacitance TVS devices for Ethernet protection and other data interfaces with speeds up to 500Mb/s.
igus introduces twisterband HD
igus has launched a stronger, more robust version of its twisterband rotary motion cable management system – twisterband HD. Developed to give operational and functional reliability to rotating applications that require mixed services, for example, power, data, air or fibre optics, with high loads and small installation space, twisterband HD supports up to 20 turns around its own axis.
Boundary scan integrated into ICT platform
The availability of Boundary Scan integration into SPEA’s multi-core ICT (In-Circuit-Test) platform has been announced by Goepel. With the level of integration provided for the SPEA3030 ICT, execution of interactive Boundary Scan tests is now possible on all cores of the ICT (up to four). This results in maximisation of parallelism and productivity.
Solar fuel generating device sets record
Researchers at Monash University have designed a solar fuel generating device that has established arecord in energy efficiency for the production of solar fuels. The device can produce hydrogen fuel at 22% energy efficiency, breaking the previous record of 18%. Lead researcher Professor Leone Spiccia, School of Chemistry, Monash explained that the process of hydrolysis generates hydrogen and oxygen by passing an electric current through water.
Open source hardware enhances PLC, panel PC benefits
The Industrial Shields range of PLCs and panel PCs launched by RS Components combine the advantages of open-source hardware (OSH) with the reliability of industrial-standard products. In the past few years the flexibility of open-source development boards has eased the design process for electronic engineers, enabling faster prototyping for cutting-edge applications, especially in the Internet of Things (IoT) space.
igus introduces guidelok slimline P
igus has developed its guidelok slimline system further with the introduction of the GLSL-P, guidelok slimline P. Made entirely of plastic, this vertical energy chain system is characterised by its low weight and ease of installation, allowing machine builders and system integrators to achieve faster speeds and higher accelerations than ever before.
Arduino Yun Mini tempts embedded engineers and students
The new Arduino Yun Mini extends the Arduino portfolio of open-source electronics development and prototyping boards of RS Components (RS). Aimed at embedded engineers, hackers and students, the Arduino Yun Mini is a redesign of the Arduino Yun WiFi microcontroller board and has been re-engineered to be used with a breadboard, making prototyping easier, and also provides its functionality in a light and highly compact package.
25 things you may not know about drives
Drives have been a key technology for industrial engineers for many years but Matt Handley of Mitsubishi Electric thinks they can be underappreciated. Here he highlights some of the interesting facts about them.
