Passive components enable smaller solution and PCB-less mounting
Melexis has introduced the MLX92223, a PCB-less 2-Wire Hall-Effect Latch with integrated passives (392Ω resistor and decoupling capacitor), making it compatible with industry-standard Electronic Control Units (ECUs) without the need for any additional external components.
NAV-LOC localisation sets AGVs free from reflectors
SICK has set Automated Guided Vehicles free from the need for reflectors or other physical markers with the all-in-one NAV-LOC localisation solution, enabling them to navigate more reliably and efficiently around shop floor and warehouse environments. The SICK NAV-LOC (Localisation On Contour) is an easy-to-set up solution based on a SICK NAV 360o LiDAR scanner that can be integrated into new or existing AGVs.
Software provides API to support embedded development platforms
Xsens has released MT Software Suite 2019, providing for the first time an open-source Applications Programming Interface (API) to enable users to develop applications to run on many embedded computing platforms.The new suite is a fully upgraded version of the existing software package for Xsens’ MTi-series of industrial motion trackers.
Choosing the right buzzer - a review of key buzzer selection criteria
If you are designing products like a home appliance, security panel, a door-entry system or a computer peripheral, you might choose to feature a buzzer as the sole means of interacting with users or as part of a more sophisticated user interface. By Bruce Rose, Principal Applications Engineer, CUI Devices
Three-level SiC AC-to-DC converter reference design
This reference design from Texas Instruments provides an overview on how to implement a three-level, three-phase, SiC-based AC/DC converter with bi-directional functionality. A high switching frequency of 50 kHz reduces the size of magnetics for the filter design and as a result a higher power density.
New performance standard for NFC readers
The new NFC Universal Device from STMicroelectronics, the ST25R3916, contains innovative features to simplify the design of payment terminals and ease compliance with new EMVCo 3.0 contactless interoperability tests for cards, mobiles, and wearables.
Grade 0 omnipolar hall-effect switches for automotive applications
Global manufacturer and supplier of application specific standard products for discrete, logic, analogue and mixed-signal semiconductor markets, Diodes Incorporated, has announced its AH356xQ series of omnipolar Hall-effect switches, which are fully certified for automotive applications and qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0.
Certification strengthens inroads to medical simulation
The launch of the Simpleware ScanIP Medical has been announced by Synopsys after obtaining CE marking as a medical device. The CE marking strengthens Synopsys' offerings and provides medical device design and patient-specific analysis companies in the European Economic Area (EEA) with a robust tool for creating models from 3D imaging data.
Motion sensor with machine learning for high-accuracy
The global semiconductor provider, STMicroelectronics, has integrated machine-learning technology into its advanced inertial sensors to improve activity-tracking performance and battery life in mobiles and wearables. The LSM6DSOX iNEMO sensor contains a machine-learning core to classify motion data based on known patterns.
Do power systems make the grade for autonomous vehicles?
Voltage and current levels will change, but the requirements for low EMI/EMC emissions will not, argues Tony Armstrong, Analog Devices.
