IC increases software power-measurement accuracy
The immediate availability of a precision power- and energy-monitoring chip has just been announced by Microchip.The PAC1934 works in conjunction with a Microchip software driver that is fully compatible with the Energy Estimation Engine (E3) built into the Windows 10 operating system to provide 99% accuracy on all battery-powered Windows 10 devices.
Evaluation kit delivers rapid IoT prototypes
The Grid-EYE evaluation kit from Panasonic is available at Mouser Electronics. By combining Grid-EYE infrared (IR) sensor technology with Bluetooth technology and software for IR detection of people and objects on one board, the kit enables engineers to develop rapid prototypes of wireless sensor Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
Devices could be used as flexible connectors for electronics
Researchers at MIT and several other institutions have developed a method for making photonic devices — similar to electronic devices but based on light rather than electricity — that can bend and stretch without damage. The devices could find uses in cables to connect computing devices, or in diagnostic and monitoring systems that could be attached to the skin or implanted in the body, flexing easily with the natural tissue.
Low-voltage SuperFlash memory improves power consumption
The new 1.8V Serial Quad I/O SuperFlash memory device has been announced by Microchip.The SST26WF064C, a low-voltage 64-Megabit device, combines Dual Transfer Rate (DTR) with proprietary SuperFlash NOR Flash technology, making it suitable for wireless and battery-powered applications.
Microchip technology could be used to track smart pills
Researchers at Caltech have developed a prototype miniature medical device that could ultimately be used in "smart pills" to diagnose and treat diseases. A key to the new technology—and what makes it unique among other microscale medical devices—is that its location can be precisely identified within the body, something that proved challenging before.
Chip-based sensors have outstanding sensitivity
In London's St. Paul's Cathedral, a whisper can be heard far across the circular whispering gallery as the sound curves around the walls. Now, an optical whispering gallery mode resonator developed by Penn State electrical engineers can spin light around the circumference of a tiny sphere millions of times, creating an ultrasensitive microchip-based sensor for multiple applications.
E-books describe technology solutions for crowded cities
A series of compelling e-books that provide in-depth views of leading-edge technology featured in the Shaping Smarter Cities series have been released by Mouser Electronics. The Shaping Smarter Cities series features exclusive videos, articles, and blog posts about how engineers on three different continents created technology-based solutions to some of most pressing problems of crowded cities.
Expanded custom programming service includes AVR and SAM MCUs
In order to include AVR and SAM microcontrollers (MCUs), Microchip Technology has expanded its custom programming service. For the first time ever, users can add their custom code to MCUs from more than 30 AVR and SAM families, along with nearly all PIC MCUs and memory devices, directly from the manufacturer via microchipDIRECT. Microchip claims to be the only company in the industry that provides an online custom programming service to all of it...
In-circuit debugger boasts faster processor and increased RAM
The MPLAB ICD 4 in-circuit debugger from Microchip is available at RS Components. It is an In-Circuit programming and Debugging (ICD) development tool for PIC microcontrollers, including the latest PIC32C MCUs, and Microchip’s portfolio of dsPIC digital signal controllers, via the MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
