STMicroelectronics is facilitating advanced security for contact and contactless payment cards, ID cards, and transport ticketing with its latest-generation ST31 secure microcontroller.

Chestnut offers a 4 receive and 4 transmit radio chain architecture, with each radio chain being independently controlled while maintaining phase coherency for applications requiring this functionality. Each radio chain offers 500 MHz of RF bandwidth, resulting in 2 GHz of RF bandwidth capture when all chains are enabled. The tuning range of near-DC to 9 GHz also allows these radio chains to be used for various applications that require wide operating frequencies.

PerSe sensors detect human presence near mobile devices and other consumer electronics and enable advanced Radio Frequency (RF) control when the user is close. Its smart human sensing feature, ultra-low power, and tiny footprint also make it suitable for a range of wearable applications such as gesture control and automation.

The SC-RF2-5Gn78 combines the company's SmallCellPHY-5G and SmallCellSTACK-5G software along with its baseband and RF hardware based on NXP's Layerscape® and Layerscape Access SoCs.

Growing medical devices is estimated to be the major factor driving the growth of the market. It is further estimated that the market will reach about $11.7 billion by the year 2023.

The Connect Kit was inspired by a recent digital transformation project with a prominent Fortune 500 company. Arlen Nipper, President and CTO of Cirrus Link, connected the company’s production hardware to AWS cloud services in less than an hour utilizing the same combination of OnLogic hardware and Inductive Automation’s Ignition software found in the Connect Kit.

Base models for the portable R&S FPL1000 take spectrum and signal analysis capabilities up to 26.5 GHz. They combine the functionality of benchtop instruments and the portability of a handheld instrument with intuitive features to make high performance measuring on the go fast and simple.

Menlo Microsystems, Inc. (Menlo Micro) announced the formal qualification and production release of the MM5600. This product is a double-pole/double-throw (DPDT) switch providing the high performance and data rates for high-speed differential switching applications, including next-generation artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), GPU/CPU, data center, and cloud-based applications, as well as automated test equipment (ATE) device interface boards and high-speed computer peripheral interfaces.

The ETSI Industry Specification Group (ISG) for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) has started working on its next specification release known as Release 5, officially kicking off the new Release technical work after their September meeting.

Rohde & Schwarz has joined the Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC) to support the organization's mission to foster industrywide standards for communications between vehicles and smartphones. The company will contribute its solutions for the development and production of UWB devices and modules for automotive applications such as keyless vehicle access.

u-blox introduced a service that allows Internet of Things (IoT) sensor network developers to combine any cellular connectivity with all the benefits of MQTT communication. The u-blox MQTT Flex service lets any SIM-based connectivity leverage MQTT-SN communication at predictable cost with on-demand scalability.

An open-source collaboration community will accelerate the adoption of digital twin-enabling technologies and solutions. Consortium members and non-members can collaborate on open-source projects, code, and collateral and become part of the DTC ecosystem.

The STMicroelectronics TCPP03-M20 USB Type-C port-protection IC simplifies the design of products that can act as a power source for connected devices as well as accept power from other USB-C sources.

IoT devices are everywhere – including most people’s pockets, workspaces, and living rooms. So hackers invading networks to steal data or hijack electronic devices is a common and justifiable fear.

Electronic System Design (ESD) industry revenue increased 14.6% year-over-year from $2,783.9 million to $3,191.4 million in Q2 2021, the ESD Alliance, a SEMI Technology Community, announced in the latest Electronic Design Market Data (EDMD) report. The four-quarter moving average, which compares the most recent four quarters to the prior four, rose 15.5%, the highest annual growth since 2011.

As the semiconductor shortage continues to wreak havoc on the electrical industry, more component supply dimensions are falling into the red, pushing predicted market stabilization dates even further back.

The latest Starkrimson® product line from Orchard Audio highlights the sound quality and amplifier performance delivered by GaN power transistors.

5G has two new frequency bands: sub-6 GHz (3.5 – 7 GHz) and mmWave (>24 GHz). 5G sub-6 GHz has a frequency range relatively close to that of 4G, but does not receive as much attention as mmWave. mmWave, which was previously solely used for military, satellite, and automotive radar communication purposes, is now added to the frequency pool for mobile communications, offering a maximum data rate of 20 Gbps with an ultralow latency of 1 ms due to its ultrawide bandwidth.

Ideal for use in medical facilities, factory and warehouse settings, hospitality, and more, this cellular-connected, battery-operated device delivers important alerts and commands remotely.
