As the IoT accelerates and internet connectivity is deployed into virtually every industrial segment, security threats are escalating in quantity and scale. These threats can ruin the reputation of those attacked, impact company financials and allow intellectual property to be stolen or destroyed. While cryptography can be used to secure these connected nodes and the basis of the practice is understood, designers often do not know how to approach...

Microchip has announced the introduction of PIC18 Q10 and ATtiny1607 families of 8bit MCUs, featuring multiple intelligent Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) that simplify development and enable a quick response time to system events.Advancements in the architecture of PIC and AVR MCUs have optimised these devices for implementing closed-loop control, enabling systems to offload the CPU to manage more tasks and save power.

Microchip Technology has announced a 2D Touch Surface library that enables designers to implement touch pads using the company’s 8-bit PICand AVRmicrocontrollers (MCUs) and 32-bit SAM MCUs. Available free of charge with the purchase of any compatible MCU, the library provides a simplified, low-cost solution for embedded applications. Suitablefor implementing small touch pads and screens, the 2D Touch Surface library eliminates costs by runn...

Imagine a future of one trillion connected devices around the globe - in our cars, homes, hospitals, workplaces, streets. Well, everywhere. How do we ensure that even the most tiny, low power devices authenticate users, ensure personal information is encrypted and maintain enough battery life to do all of that efficiently and securely?

Microchip is a provider of microcontroller and analogue semiconductors, providing low risk product development, lower total system cost and faster time to market for thousands of diverse customer applications.In partnership with Farnell element14, Microchip is offering engineers theATSAMA5D27-SOM1-EK1 that helps radically simplify next Embedded Linux design.

Researchers at MIT have created what may be the smallest robots yet that can sense their environment, store data, and even carry out computational tasks. These devices, which are about the size of a human egg cell, consist of tiny electronic circuits made of two-dimensional materials, piggybacking on minuscule particles called colloids.Colloids, which insoluble particles or molecules anywhere from a billionth to a millionth of a meter across, are...

Analyst forecasts of the number of connected devices deployed over the next decade range into the hundreds of billions. With the vast potential value that IoT brings, also comes a growing concern of data security.

RS Components (RS) has signed a partnership agreement with Zerynth, a start-up company that develops ‘middleware’ software for Internet of Things (IoT) projects and applications. The key essence of the agreement is that the Zerynth IoT development environment will be available via a unique portal on the DesignSpark engineering community, enabling easy access for customers to download the tools.

Reading analogue signals from the real world and then turning them into digital signals that a microcontroller (MCU) can understand is one of the most difficult tasks you will face when developing MCU-based sensor applications.

It has been announced by SEGGER that they are in support of Microchip's new SAML11 devices within their complete lineup of embedded development solutions. They started developing with SAML11 with SEGGER's IDE Embedded Studio, RTOS embOS, J-Link debug probes, and SystemView runtime visual analysis tool, which are all utilised in the ready to go evaluation package, which is free for educational and non-commercial use without limitation.
