Synaptics will exhibit its S3930 series, a high-performing touch control, at Booth# I1311 (Hall1, 1F) during this year’s COMPUTEX. Synaptics contends the series is the first IC developed from a next-generation touch controller architecture. It is designed specifically for foldable OLED and ultra-thin mobile displays.

The extended Veros wireless portfolio of Wi-Fi® 7 SoCs designed for IoT from Synaptics features the SYN4390 and SYN4384. These support a peak speed of up to 5.8 Gbps, using 2×2 + 2×2 MLO, 320 MHz channel bandwidth, and 4K QAM.

Hello Embedded Engineers, Developers and Makers! Welcome to In Case You Missed it: Embedded Insights, the weekly news show all about Embedded technologies and solutions from Embedded Computing Design.

Embedded edge AI IoT solutions today, like wearables, smart home appliances, and factory automation solutions, demand versatility and diversity in connectivity. These low-power IoT applications can benefit from wireless SoCs leveraging Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and low-power, low-data-rate communication protocols for suitable performance and interoperability.

AI IoT applications today require solutions that enable local processing for real-time decision making, expansive AI capabilities, low-power operations, hardware based security, seamless interaction with other devices or networks, and much more in order to keep up with the demands of modern multimodal consumer, enterprise, and industrial Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

Embedded Computing Design is excited to reveal that its all new Dev Kit Zone will make its debut at embedded world 2025 in Nuremburg, Germany, March 11 to 13.

The industry revolves around two types of AI, namely research AI versus production AI. I wasn’t sure what these terms meant and their differences, so I asked an expert to join me on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.

John Weil is the Vice president and General Manager of Synaptics’ IoT Business Unit. After setting me straight, John talks about the last 20% of a design that the customer needs to figure out for themselves, amongst other things.
