A look at redrivers in mobile devices
Mobile phones need high speed serial links, but many of these links will not work without the help of a redriver. That is because at multi-gigabit speeds, transmission line effects become important and signals degrade, often to the point of no longer meeting electrical specifications. As Pericom explain, there are a number of signal loss effects that impact the serial link in small footprint mobile platforms.
Xingtera successfully completes field trials
Xingtera and Star Charge have jointly announced that they have completed their trial runs of the first ever high-speed powerline communication (PLC) based EVCS networking solution. The success of “EVConnect 2.0” field trials marks an important milestone for the powerline communication technology as well as the EVCS market. The combination of the wide-spread, real-world application of the G.hn powerline communication technology and the...
"World's smallest" pyro-electric sensor features digital interface
ezPyro is claimed to be the world’s smallest pyro-electric sensor with a digital interface by Pyreos. It was launched at at the SENSOR+TEST exhibition in Nuremburg. The ezPyro has a broad range of applications, including in the detection of flames, gases, movements and gestures, opening up a wholevariety of uses, including the $25bn (£18bn, €22bn) wearable technology market.
Cavium showcases The CloudScale Rack
Cavium has showcased CloudScale Rack solution that demonstrates a complete cloud data centre enabled using customer platforms built on Cavium’s product portfolio. Today’s data centre platforms are built using legacy building blocks that evolved over time and are unable to address the growing complexity and scale of current data centers. For example, servers are not Workload Optimized.
Laying the foundations for secure IoT applications
To turn ASIC and SoC designs into fully-secured IoT (Internet of Things) applications, a new IP module has been introduced by Barco Silex. The eSecure module functions as a root-of-trust, guaranteeing the authenticity and integrity of the application’s hardware, software, data and communication. It offloads all security operations to hardware and scales according to the needs of the application. Its cryptographic engine supports all the lat...
Current transducers measure 25 to 100A DC, AC or pulsed
Able to be mounted on PCBs or non-intrusive, isolated measurements of DC, AC and pulsed currents from 25 to 100A nominal, LEM has unveiled the LH transducer family. The LH 50-P and LH 100-P are designed for 50 and 100A nominal, respectively, while the LH 25-NP is a multi-range model that can be configured for 8, 12 or 25A, providing the equivalent of three transducers in one device.
Cryptographic IP enables Car2x applications
EnSilica has launched the eSi-ECDSA cryptographic IP designed to help meet the high security communication and latency requirements of automotive Car2Car and Car2Infrastructure (Car2x) applications that form part of today’s emerging Intelligent Transport Systems.
Industry's highest current 40A, 16VIN converter
Texas Instruments has introduced the industry's first 40A, 16VIN synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with true differential remote-voltage sensing. The SWIFT TPS548D22 buck converter features a small PowerStack package and integrated MOSFETs to drive ASICs and DSPs in space-constrained applications.
NXP & Accton collaborate on network services switch solution
NXP Semiconductors N.V. has collaborated with leading Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) Accton Technology Corporation to develop a network services switch solution which is the first to combine the extreme 64-bit performance of ARM Cortex-A72 technology within a proven ODM design and in a comprehensive, open standards-based software platform.
Cadence enables a 60% reduction in packaging design time
