Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) is a variation of the Bluetooth wireless standard that’s designed for short-range data exchange with minimal power consumption. Introduced as part of the Bluetooth 4.0 specification, it enables devices like wearables, sensors, and smart home products to operate efficiently on small batteries. Bluetooth LE supports features like quick device discovery, secure connections, and in newer versions (5.0+), extended range, and higher data rates.

Eko Health revolutionized the traditional stethoscope and turned it into an AI-powered disease detection platform. They needed a Bluetooth product that combined high-end processing power with low power, and Infineon's PSoC 63 Bluetooth LE MCU provided exactly that. 

Infineon's latest multi-sense sensor device can handle capacitive, inductive, and even liquid applications. In the video, you can see how it operates with a coffee maker.

Next-generation energy systems demand advanced solutions capable of delivering efficient power conversion, reliable system performance, and exceptional thermal stability, all in a compact and accurate design for modern power semiconductor technologies.

The ability to “sense” in different modalities is known as multi-sensing. In a perfect world, that multi-sensing capability would be integrated into a single MCU. And thanks to the Infineon PSOC 4 Multi-Sense MCUs, the perfect world has ascended upon us. But more about that specific device in a bit.

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.

Low-power is the ultimate priority in some WiFi networks, especially when you’re designing a battery powered device. Cameras used in remote locations are prime targets for this discussion. In some cases, access to that camera is difficult, so the user needed want to charge or replace a battery on a regular basis. 

To understand what the current state of the art is, both in terms of power levels and the WiFi standard itself, which is moving to version 7, I spoke to Sivaram Trikutam, the Vice President of Wi-Fi Products for Infineon on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.
