MCUs deliver increased throughput with lower power
The ATtiny1617 microcontroller series from Microchip Technology is in stock at Mouser Electronics . Part of Microchip’s low-power 8-bit AVR microcontroller portfolio, the devices offer pin and code compatibility with the ATtiny817 series devices while extending the flash memory. The compact 8-bit devices run at up to 20MHz, and provide a customised configuration and simplified process for capacitive touch systems and Core Independent Periph...
Terahertz laser could be used for chemical detection
For more than 20 years, Qing Hu, a distinguished professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT, and his group have been working on sources of terahertzradiation that can be etched onto microchips. In the latest issue ofNature Photonics, members of Hu’s group and colleagues at Sandia National Laboratories and the University of Toronto describe a novel design that boosts the power output of chip-mounted terahertzlasers by 80...
Open source instrument boasts Arduino programmability
OpenScope, an Open-source PICMZ All-in-One Instrumentation device from Digilent is available for immediate shipment worldwide at Digi-Key Electronics. The OpenScope MZ is a portable multi-function programmable instrumentation module that connects to a computer (through Wi-Fi or a USB cable) and allows the user to acquire, analyse, visualise, and control signals from circuits, sensors, and other electronic devices.
IoT development boards support LoRa platform
Two new SmartEverything solutions from Arrow have extended the portfolio of development boards at RS Components. The SmartEverything LION IoT development system-on-module (SoM) board and the SmartEverything ARIS IoT board both offer support for Internet of Things (IoT) application development.
Low-power MCUs simplify LCD application design
A new family of low-power microcontrollers (MCUs) has been announced byMicrochipfeaturing Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) and intelligent analogue for driving Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD). The nine member PIC16F19197 family includes a battery-friendly LCD drive charge pump; 12-bit ADC with computation (ADC2); a low-power comparator; and active clock-tuning of its high-frequency oscillator. They are the first 8-bit MCUs to be optimised for po...

MPU provides space for large graphics buffers
The 32-bit PIC32MZ DA microcontroller (MCU) family has been announced by Microchip, which it claims to be the industry’s first MCU with an integrated 2D Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and up to 32MB of integrated DDR2 memory. This combination gives customers the ability to increase their application’s colour resolution and display size, up to 12" with easy-to-use microcontroller (MCU) based resources and tools including the MPLAB Inte...
Dates set for pan-European HMI seminars
Dates for a series of seminars presenting the latest technologies for advanced Human-Machine Interface (HMI) designs, including microcontrollers with multi-touch and voice-recognition capabilities and tools for rapid graphics display development, have been announced by Future Electronics.
Microchip identifies circulating tumour chips
The higher the concentration of tumor cells in the bloodstream, the greater the risk of metastasis. The number of circulating tumour cells indicates how well a patient is responding to therapy. Fraunhofer researchers have developed a new microhole chip that enables cells to be identified and characterised reliably within minutes.The conventional method of FACS analysis (fluorescence-activated cell sorting) provides only a rough estimate of the nu...
