Development tools feature at DesignCon 2018
DesignCon 2018 will provide the platform for Mouser Electronics to present the newest technologies from its vast line card of over 700 manufacturers. DesignCon which is taking place in Santa Clara (Jan 30-Feb 1) is Silicon Valley's annual educational conference and technology exhibition for electronic design engineers worldwide. The annual event features technical presentations, tutorials, industry panels, application demonstrations and more.
Radiation-tolerant MCUs decrease time to market
A new microcontroller (MCU) has been announced by Microchip that combines specified radiation performance with the low-cost development associated with Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) devices. The AtmegaS64M1 meets the needs of NewSpace and other critical aerospace applications which require faster development and reduced costs.
Win a Microchip ATmega328PB Development Suite Bundle
Win a Microchip ATmega328PB Development Suite Bundle. The ATmega328PB is a low power CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR enhanced RISC architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the ATmega328PB achieves throughputs close to 1MIPS per MHz.
3D printing living cells into biomedical objects
Using a new technique they call ‘in-air microfluidics’, University of Twente scientists succeed in printing 3D structures with living cells. This special technique enable the fast and ‘on-the-fly’ production of micro building blocks that are viable and can be used for repairing damaged tissue, for example. The work is presented inScience Advances.Microfluidics is all about manipulating tiny drops of fluid with sizes betwee...
An alternative way to measure vital signs with radio waves
Cornell University engineers have demonstrated a method for gathering blood pressure, heart rate and breath rate using a cheap and covert system of radio-frequency signals and microchip 'tags,' similar to the anti-theft tags department stores place on clothing and electronics.The cracker-sized tags measure mechanical motion by emitting radio waves that bounce off the body and internal organs, and are then detected by an electronic reader that gat...
MCU improves response time to critical system events
With a new family of 8-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) that combine a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus with an extensive array of Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs),Microchip has announced an expansion to the PIC18 product line. The CIPs increase system capabilities while making it easier for designers to create CAN-based applications without the complexity of added software.
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.
Win a Microchip MPLAB ICD 4 in-circuit debugger
Win a Microchip MPLAB ICD 4 In-Circuit Debugger (DV164045) from Electronic Specifier. The new MPLAB ICD 4 introduces a faster processor and increased RAM to deliver up to twice the speed of ICD 3 for the in-circuit debugging of PIC microcontrollers and dsPIC digital signal controllers. The MPLAB ICD 4 also introduces a wider target voltage range and an optional 1A of power via an external power supply.
Single-wire serial EEPROM enables remote identification
A single-wire,two-pin Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) device with a 2.7-4.5V operational voltage range has been announced by Microchip. TheAT21CS11is suitable for identifying and authenticating remote items, such as cartridges or cables, where space for electronic components is limited.
