Wireless MCU simplifies automotive connectivity
Delivering low power, low cost and simplified automotive connectivity to emerging smartphone-controlled and wire-replacement applications, Texas Instruments introduce the SimpleLink Bluetooth low energy CC2541-Q1. The CC2541-Q1 leverages the success of TI’s broad-market Bluetooth Smart solution (SimpleLink CC2541) and automotive connectivity offerings for combo WiFi, Bluetooth and GNSS (WiLink 8Q) and dual-mode Bluetooth (BL6450Q).
World’s smallest tracking device integrates u-blox GNSS
Claimed to be the world’s smallest and most versatile personal tracking device, the Trax from WTS is based on u-blox's CAM-M8Q GNSS receiver module. Measuring just 9.6x14.0x1.95mm, theGNSS module includes an integrated chip antenna plus SAW filter, LNA, TCXO, RTC crystal and passives.
Module is able to receive signals from multiple GNSS
Designed specifically for automotive use, theUMSZ2 Series is a multi GNSS moduleproviding support for multiple satellite positioning systems with a single module. The series, from ALPS Electric,will be made available from April 2014.
GNSS antenna offers precise positioning up to 1cm
Suitable for integration in multi-frequency handheld GNSS devices for high precision location applications up to 1cm, imec and Septentrio have collaborated on the design of a compact antenna-RF integrated element of a multi-frequency GNSS antenna for GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and GALILEO.
The industry's first GNSS SoC for wearable devices
At Mobile World Congress 2014 in Barcelona, February 24-27, Broadcom will exhibit the BCM4771 GNSS SoC. The company has claimed that this is the industry's first Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) SoC designed for low-power, mass-market wearable devices such as fitness trackers and smart watches.
Antenna module supports concurrent GNSS operation
Supplied in a tiny 9.6x14.0x1.95mm package, a GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou/QZSS antenna module has been introduced by u-blox. Thesurface-mount CAM-M8Q supports concurrent GNSS operation (GPS & GLONASS, GPS & BeiDou or GLONASS & BeiDou) to enable reliable and accurate satellite positioning anywhere in the world.
New this week - ADI's digital isolators, GPS/GNSS receivers from Linx & Cypress EZ-USB controllers
