Once in a while we come across
the need to power some tiny analog circuitry, and off-the-shelf power
supply ICs are just overkill for such tasks. This especially applies
when your needs measure in milliamps. And if you also have an FPGA on
board with some spare pins and resources, it becomes almost wasteful
not to use it. Besides, who can resist building your own power supply
from scratch?
Strict emission regulations worldwide heavily
affect the car industry. To meet these regulations, electrification
will play a major role. In this webinar you will learn why
there is no way back from electrifying the powertrain, which components
to select for which application and that IGBTs can also be used in fast
switching applications.

The world’s two largest semiconductor
companies both presented new technologies for embedded MRAM in logic
chip manufacturing processes last week at the 64th International
Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) here. Intel (Santa Clara, California)
described the key features of spin-transfer torque (STT)-MRAM–based
non-volatile memory into its 22FFL process, calling it “the first
FinFET-based MRAM technology.”

The advanced power management of
high-performance embedded computer systems prioritizes peak performance
over deterministic behavior. What can designers do if determinism is an
important factor for their embedded systems?
The end of the year brings predictions galore, and
Arm has jumped on this bandwagon with its view on what it thinks will
happen in the internet of things (IoT) in 2019. It also carried out a
consumer survey to find out what end users think about IoT, machine
learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and 5G.
In this webinar you will learn about Vishay’s
latest developments in Silicon and Package Technology and how your
application can benefit in terms of efficiency and PCB area usage.
Focus will be on 60V – 100V MOSFETs.

As technology evolves, choosing the best way to keep pace depends on the capability of your test assets. Keysight can help with Technology Refresh Services ranging from advisory consulting to equipment trade-ins. Explore the
possibilities in our eBook: it describes ways to evaluate trade-offs and manage
choices.

Broadcom’s Emulex group announced
next-generation Fibre Channel storage cards and chips, aiming to nudge
the market forward. Emulex is bullish on the prospects for its
64-Gbit/s products, although at least one market researcher
characterized the overall market as stable.

Qualcomm said that it won two injunctions from a
Chinese court barring Apple from selling several models of the iPhone
that were found to violate two patents held by Qualcomm. It is unclear
what the impact of the ruling will be. Apple maintains that the order
pertains only to iPhones running the legacy iOS 11 — an assertion that
Qualcomm disputes — and said that all iPhone models remain available
for sale in China.
Researchers from Belgium have won $1.05 million
funding from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI), the philanthropic
endeavor led by Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and his partner Priscilla
Chan, to develop a new chip to study the mechanisms of Parkinson’s
disease.

Dr. James Truchard, co-founder and
past CEO of National Instruments, received the Republic of Armenia
State Award for Global Contribution to Humanity through IT at a
ceremony in Yeravan on Nov. 30. Truchard is the ninth recipient of the
award, which has been given to such notables as Steve Wozniak and
Eugene Kaspersky.

Qualcomm announced a new SoC for flagship
smartphones and its first Snapdragon variant for its ongoing drive into
Windows PCs. The 7nm chips demonstrate remarkable engineering execution
at a time of unprecedented business, market and technology
challenges.The
Snapdragon 855, along with its X50 modem, position the company to
dominate the first wave of 5G devices.
The most convincing indication of China's rise in
the AI market that I recently came across was the plethora of AI-driven
toys displayed, demonstrated, and pitched at shop after shop in the
Shenzhen airport.
Arrow Electronics gave its semi-autonomous
motorcar (SAM) design team a little under a year to enable
a quadriplegic to drive a race car. As a practical matter,
they did it in less than five months. The essence of every engineering
challenge is the tension between goals
and constraints — invent, improve, add (and so on) versus money, time,
personnel, tools, etc.

For a few hours on Tuesday, 5G cellular was live —
warts and all — in two ballrooms of a resort hotel here. Ericsson set
up the network at a Qualcomm event to give press and analysts a first
look at what its new chipsets will enable. Samsung showed an early
version of its first 5G smartphone streaming 4K video to a large-screen
TV. Motorola demoed a 5G upgrade module that attached to its LTE
smartphone to download a gigabyte movie in 17 seconds.
Silicon Valley is synonymous with developing
cutting-edge materials for technology products, but it’s not the only
region in North America for companies looking to build an innovative
product with a significant hardware element. Toronto-area
startup AOMS Technologies has tapped into the advanced materials
knowledge and expertise of the Xerox Research Centre of Canada (XRCC)
to move its integrated industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform
from the research stage to product commercialization.
