embedded world 2021 - heading digital
Last year, as COVID-19 was getting warmed up, embedded world was one of the last events to be able to go ahead in a physical format. However, with the crisis ongoing, this year the show has transitioned to a digital-only event. Electronic Specifier’s Alex Lynn caught up with Benedikt Weyerer, the show's Director Exhibitions, to find out what visitors can expect this year.
Global smartphone market shows resiliency
The global smartphone market was able to recover from a tremendously difficult first half of 2020. The 0.9% year-on-year decline in Q3 is a significant improvement over the over 1%5, and worse, declines in each of the first two quarters of the year, according to Omdia’s latest global smartphone shipment preliminary result.
Precision measurement ICs achieve double battery life
Designers can now achieve double the battery life together with robust protection and high accuracy for IoT, industrial and healthcare applications with three new Essential Analog ICs from Maxim Integrated Products: MAX41400 instrumentation amplifier, MAX40108 precision operational amplifier and MAX31343 real-time clock (RTC) with integrated MEMS oscillator.
High frame rate OLED DDIC for 5G smartphones
Magnachip Semiconductor has announced that it has commenced full-scale mass production of its first 120Hz High Frame Rate (HFR) OLED display driver IC (DDIC) for QHD flexible displays, following the successful product release and initial production in 2020.
Can chiplets maintain the momentum of IC design?
When Rambus was founded 30 years ago, RAM cost $98 per megabyte, and the latest Intel processor, the 80486, had 1.2 million transistors and was fabricated on a 1µm process. In comparison, in September 2020, RAM cost $0.0028 per megabyte, and the latest Nvidia A100 AI processor has 54 billion transistors and is fabricated on a 7nm process. Gary Bronner, Senior Vice President of Rambus Labs, explains more.
