High power density systems demand high current converters
Steve Knoth, Senior Product Marketing Engineer, Power Products at Linear Technology now part of Analog Devices discusses here how high power density systems demand high current converters. The expanding market for high current, low voltage digital ICs reached $9.2bn in 2016. This group of digital ICs includes microcontrollers and microprocessors (µC & µP), programmable logic devices (PLDs), digital signal processors (DSPs), applic...
IMU improves virtual and augmented reality applications
At electronica China in Shanghai, Bosch Sensortec has launched the BMI085, a high-performance 6-axis IMU. The BMI085 integrates a 3-axis, 16-bit MEMS acceleration sensor and a 3-axis, 16-bit MEMS gyroscope in a single compact package.This powerful IMU is ideally suited for demanding VR and AR applications as well as other applications, such as navigation, body/human motion tracking and high-end gaming.

Day release... students descend on embedded world
Student Day has become a feature of some German trade shows. Steve Rogerson visited embedded world to find out why.There is a shortage of electronics engineers in Europe. Companies are struggling to find new talent and many are forced either to pay high wages or recruit from overseas, notably Asia, or both. Germany is no different to other European companies in this regard.
Taking artificial skin to the next level
Of the many ways that humans make sense of our world – with our eyes, ears, nose and mouth – none is perhaps less appreciated than our tactile and versatile hands. Thanks to our sensitive fingertips, we can feel the heat before we touch the flame, or sense the softness of a newborn’s cheek.But people with prosthetic limbs live in a world without touch.
Seamless integration of pneumatic systems and process control
Enabling simple electronic marshalling of pneumatic systems is the ASCO Numatics 580 CHARMs node. Pneumatic systems are an essential part of many process plants, in industries such as chemical, life science and food and beverage, particularly those where ancillary machines are used.
OK CES, where are all the women?
As the tech industry turns its attention once again to Las Vegas for the annual CES show, many have been disappointed by a lack of change.Gender inequality has occupied a significant amount of column inches in the US over the past six months, and this week’s Golden Globe Awards was no exception. It was therefore slightly surprising to see that all of the top six speakers at CES were male.
Intelligent connector helps farmers harvest data
Developing an ‘intelligent connector’ Bulgin has successfully trialled its use in agricultural sensing and control. In a customisation project for a client, California-basedAgTech Industries, Bulgin incorporated integrated electronics into a rugged miniaturised connector for AgTech’s new smart infield telemetry system called AgriCapture.
How to stay cyber safe this January
Learning provider Litmos Heroes is warning retailers to make sure their technology is up to date and their staff are properly trained to help them stay cyber safe during the sales. Online spending is set to hit record levels this January. An average of £1bn was spent online every week in January 2017 and with such huge figures changing hands electronically comes an increased risk of retail businesses falling victim to cyber attack and onlin...
The latest low-profile phased antenna for a mobile world
The EU-funded PHASOR project is disrupting the mobile communications market with the world’s first cost-effective, electronically steerable, digital, low-profile phased antenna.Today’s communications infrastructure is incapable of keeping up with society’s demand for faster, more mobile data traffic.
