Silicon Labs: PoE ICs target IP cameras,
wireless access points, IP phones and
smart lighting
Silicon Labs has released two new Power over
Ethernet (PoE) Powered Device families deliv-
ering best-in-class integration and efficiency
for a wide range of Internet of Things applica-
tions. Silicon Labs’ Si3406x and Si3404 fami-
lies include all necessary high-voltage discrete
components on a single PD chip.
IAR Systems streamlines security
development with new product offering
IAR Systems announces a new product offer-
ing targeted for embedded security. The new
offering will simplify the development of
secure products and enable extended work-
flows with integrated security configuration.
This enables companies to streamline the
creation of secure products and incorporate
security throughout the development and
manufacturing process.
ST: LDO voltage regulator packs big
performance in tiny footprint
STMicroelectronics’ STLQ020 low-drop-
out voltage regulator relieves the familiar
trade-offs between quiescent current, output
power, dynamic response, and package size,
to give designers extra freedom. By combin-
ing small size with high performance and
energy efficiency, the STLQ020 is ideal for
use in battery-powered consumer products
like smartphones and tablets, smart watches,
audio or media devices, and wearables.
Microsemi: third-party IP offerings for
PolarFire FPGAs at embedded world
Microsemi has expanded the third-party
intellectual property offerings for its cost-op-
timized, low power, mid-range PolarFire
FPGAs. With new support of artificial intel-
ligence (AI)/machine learning IP and HDMI
2.0b interfaces, the company’s PolarFire
device can now be used in industrial artifi-
cial intelligence applications which leverage
the rich resources in the FPGA, particularly
the large quantities of digital signal processor
math blocks and embedded RAMs.
Infineon acquires Merus Audio
Infineon Technologies announces the acquisi-
tion of Merus Audio. The Copenhagen-based
start-up creates energy-efficient integrated
audio amplifier solutions. They maximize
audio performance and battery playback time
for smart home and battery-powered speakers
while minimizing heat and design space. After
the integration of Merus Audio, Infineon will be
able to offer its customers a comprehensive and
leading-edge Class-D Audio amplifier portfolio
addressing the most demanding applications.
u-blox: F9 high precision positioning
technology for industrial and automotive
u blox has announced the u-blox F9 technol-
ogy platform, delivering high precision posi-
tioning solutions for mass market industrial
and automotive applications. The platform
combines multi-band Global Navigation Sat-
ellite System (GNSS) technology with dead
reckoning, high precision algorithms, and
compatibility with a variety of GNSS correc-
tion data services to achieve precision down to
the centimeter level.
MEN: rugged COM Express module with
AMD V1000
The CB71C is an ultra-rugged COM Express
module for rail, public transportation and
industry applications, e.g. data acquisition,
infotainment, transcoding and live 3D. It is
100% compatible with COM Express Type 6
Pin-Out and conforms to the VITA 59 stan-
dard, which specifies robust mechanics to
ensure reliable operation even under the
harshest environmental conditions.
Kontron: new embedded server ZINC
CUBE C232 at embedded world 2018
Kontron introduces its Embedded Server
Kontron ZINC CUBE C232 at embedded
world 2018. The compact, cost-optimized
design, expanded storage functionality, as well
as the modular concept render it particularly
scalable. It is tailored for complex computing
tasks requiring the processing and analyzing
of huge amounts of data, such as machine
learning or artificial intelligence.
VadaTech announces new Compact
MTCA.4 chassis
VadaTech announces the VT817 and VT819
chassis. The VT817 is a convenient low-cost
MicroTCA.4 PCIe Gen3 Expansion solution,
providing a flexible and effective method of
incorporating MTCA.4 acquisition and con-
trol hardware into a PC processing environ-
ment. The shelf offers two AMC slots and an
integrated MCH.
b-plus: HiL-reinjection of sensor raw data
In order to optimize algorithms as early as
possible in the development and validation
cycle, developers use hardware-in-the-loop
(HiL) systems for radar, camera and fusion
platforms. Some of these, such as monitor HiL
systems, are no longer sufficient for today’s
replay of multi-gigabit sensors. b-plus is now
launching the first compact HiL-system that
can already be used at the developer’s desk.
This enables the developer to deliver the best
possible software status at an early stage and
thus minimizes errors occurring in the later
development chain.
Maxim: low-power MCUs extend battery
life for wearables and other compact
devices
Designers of IoT sensors, environmental sen-
sors, smartwatches, medical/preventive health
wearables, and other size-constrained devices
can now increase battery life and functional-
ity using the ultra-low power MAX32660 and
MAX32652 microcontrollers from Maxim
Integrated Products.
deliver low quiescent current
System designers looking to create small and
highly efficient 40V load dump-tolerant appli-
cations can now utilize the ultra-compact,
pin-compatible MAX20075 and MAX20076
step-down converters from Maxim Integrated
Products. The MAX20075 and MAX20076 step-
down converters offer the industry’s lowest qui-
escent current and comes in an ultra-small size
solution with integrated compensation.
