Health and fitness are burgeoning markets for the electronics industry – whether it’s checking your pulse rate after a 100 lengths of the pool or enabling ultrasounds to be undertaken in the home rather than necessitating a trip to hospital. Covering all the bases is difficult. “We went out and spoke to our customers about their opportunities to give us a focus for our developments,” says Chris Neil, Senior Vice President,...

The NFC TagWriter App from NXP is easy to use and has an endless amount of application possibilities. Learn how easy it is to start creating your own NFC tags.

While everyone is talking about and exploring the potential of the IoT, security remains one of the biggest challenges. At electronica 2014, 11th to 14th November, exhibitors will present the latest security solutions for the networked era and the concurrent forums and conferences will feature security as one of the main topics.

Two families of miniature 1612 size crystal units, designated the XRCFD and XRCMD series, has been launched by Murata. Boasting an overall*1 frequency precision of +/- 20 ppm, both device series support the frequency tolerances required for wireless communications such as LTE/3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy, ZigBee and NFC.

Consumers are demanding that personal electronics become thinner and more affordable, yet have ever bigger screens with better images. Apple has experience challenges with the Phone 6 being damaged when sat on and most smart watches are using chunky components-in-a-box technology with tiny human interfaces. As more modern technology is adopted, the wearables market will advance greatly.

This video from NXP Semiconductors shows how NFC can be used to enhance the gaming experience.

A digital signage player, claimed toenhance audio and video quality, has been released byAxiomtek.Intelligent Pluggable Systems Specificationcompliant, theOPS882-HM is powered bythe 4th Generation Intel Core i5 processor and the Mobile Intel HM86 Express chipset. The player supports AWB (Audio Video Bridging), which transportsaudio and video datain real time at high quality and with a high-speed Ethernet connection.

Rutronik has launched a new range of bundled hardware, software and services under the RUTRONIK SMART brand. It brings together entire solutions, consisting of selected sensors, wireless components, micro-controllers, power management and safety solutions for devices on the Internet of Things (IoT).

Printing sensors is one way to make them cheap enough for widespread IoT applications, and Europe is leading the way in developing this technology, Sally Ward-Foxton writes for ES Design magazine.

By combining the MSP430 FRAM MCU with the RF430CL330H dynamic NFC transponder, the field generated from a cell phone is all that's needed to power up the system, let it collect data, and send that data back to the phone. At just 25x25mm and fully programmable, this reference design is also extremely flexible!
