Researchers at KU Leuven and imec have successfully developed a new technique to insulate microchips. The technique uses metal-organic frameworks, a new type of materials consisting of structured nanopores. In the long term, this method can be used for the development of even smaller and more powerful chips that consume less energy. The team has received an ERC Proof of Concept grant to further their research.

Carriers in China have been aggressively deploying 100G-capable OTN switching networks over the last few years, and now its largest carrier is poised to launch a new network to support government/enterprise leased-line services that will leverage the international standard for dynamically adjusting OTN connection bandwidth.

The introduction of new single-port USB Smart Hub ICs have been announced by Microchip, to extend its family of USB automotive products, to give automotive manufacturers the ability to provide dependable and convenient connectivity while optimising system costs.

This video explains a 100-200W inductive wireless power transmitter/receiver solution.

Microchip has announced the first commercially available eSPI-to-LPC bridge. TheECE1200 bridgeallows developers to implement the eSPI standard in boards with legacy LPC connectors and peripherals. This allows the developers to implement the eSPI standard while preserving large investments in legacy LPC equipment and substantially minimising development costs and risk.

Security is becoming a major headache for IoT companies. Steve Rogerson looks at the risks.The dream of billions of connected devices comes with a security nightmare as even a small vulnerability in a cheap consumer device can lead to a massive problem. While most people are not that concerned about a minor hack on a connected fridge or kettle, the problem is what the hacker can do once connected.

Wearable technology is set to be the basis for the next digital health revolution. Intelligent and automatic real-time control/monitoring will become the most important paradigm of the medical sector, enabling high degrees of patient care and better quality of life to those suffering with long term illnesses.

A cost-effective eight-port Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch which provides guaranteed power of 60W per port for all eight ports simultaneously has been announced by Microchip Technology, via its Microsemi subsidiary. Suitable for digital ceiling installations, the IEEE 802.3bt-compliant PDS-408G PoE switch runs noise-free with a fanless design.

SMART Modular Technologies has announced that it is showcasing its Open Memory Interface (OMI) DDR4 Differential DIMM (DDIMM) at this week’s 2019 Flash Memory Summit in Santa Clara, California. SMART Modular joined a growing roster of technology organisations (in August) contributing to the OpenCAPI Consortium, working collaboratively to drive data centre server innovation.

Microcontroller units (MCUs) continue to bring functional flexibility to ever-changing application requirements, and today’s top suppliers within the industrial, automotive and consumer markets consistently leverage the technology’s low power and high performance capabilities for a wide variety of applications. As the number one developer of 8-bit MCUs and a top five developer of other MCU products,Microchip Technologydominates the sp...
