Offering a scalable design platform for 3-phase motor drives in the 20 to 300W range, Infineon announces its iMotion Modular Application Design Kit (MADK). The compact and flexible evaluation system includes controller and power boards (optionally with sensors). Using the kit, a full functioning motor system will be running in less than one hour, enabling a faster time-to-market.

Dr Mike Coulson, SWINDON Silicon Systems, weighs up the pros and cons of integrating ADCs in ASICs.

ACHIEVING instantly reliable proximity sensing is simple with the single-click installation of the SICK IQG sensor. With its one-second mount and 40 x 40mm cubic construction, the IQG is an all-purpose and cost-effective inductive sensor that is easy-to-switch in countless automation, conveying and materials handling applications.

Synopsys has revealed that Toshiba selected the company's IC Compiler II place and route solution as the plan-of-record across its groups for performance-critical designs including internal and external customer designs. Since its launch in 2014, IC Compiler II has rapidly established itself as the widely recognised solution of choice for high-performance designs.

EnSilica has announced that it is planning an immediate recruitment drive for additional engineering staff following a further year of increasing demand and continued growth. In addition, in a further commitment to its ongoing growth strategy, EnSilica has also appointed Mark Hodgkins as Executive Chairman to its Board of Directors and David Doyle as its latest Sales Director.

EnSilica has launched a Kalman Filter acceleration IP core for use in situational awareness radar sensors for ADAS, such as electronic stability control systems, pre-crash impact mitigation, blind spot detection, lane departure detection and self-parking.

Linear Technology Corporation has introduced the LTC7130, a constant frequency peak current mode synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with temperature compensated ultra-low DCR current sensing and clock synchronisation.The device’s architecture eases compensation and offers the ability to directly parallel multiple ICs for higher current capability.

In recent years, the market for MEMS sensors market has grown rapidly and is widely adopted in consumer electronics, industrial control, automotive electronics and other fields. New technology based on motion sensing fusion is playing an increasingly critical role in IoT and wearable applications.

Microcontrollers, processors and SoCs are at the heart of the majority of modern embedded systems, including connected sensor nodes at the edges of the internet of things (IoT). Sally Ward-Foxton explains.At this year’s Embedded World show in Nuremberg, Germany, some of the biggest product launches were in the realm of microcontrollers.

In partnership with MoreThanIP, a provider of telecom solutions, Toshiba Semiconductor & Storage Products Company, has developed an IP subsystem designed to easily implement a 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface subsystem into a system LSI.
