Advanced wireless IoT applications such as machine vision, industrial HMI, audio/voice systems, and more, require an integrated hardware and software solution that can provide multiprocessing and industrial-grade features in a secure architecture.

As an embedded developer, does a “common platform” reduce your ability to innovate?

Another trade show is in the books, and I’m pleased to report things are about as back to normal as they are likely to get. The show I’m referring to is electronica, which is held bi-annually in Munich, Germany. As such, it’s been four years since we’ve convened at what it is generally considered the world’s largest event for the embedded and electronics industries.

Applications deployed in today’s smart homes, smart factories, and smart cities demand smart microcontrollers.

Electronica, MUNICH, Germany, November 15, 2022 -- As we globally move towards more modern and clean energy resources, NXP Semiconductors is meeting the needs of today’s electrification applications with the new S32K39 series of automotive microcontrollers (MCUs) designed for high-precision traction inverters in electric vehicle control applications.

MUNICH, Germany. NXP Semiconductors released its NXP analog front-end platform (N-AFE) family developed for software configuration with eight universal analog input components that supply reliable transfer of data and the ability to monitor ecosystems within factory automation. “Software-defined factories are the next evolution of the Industry 4.0, and this software-configurable analog front-end family will help achieve that milestone,” said Jens Hinrichsen, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Advanced Analog at NXP.

Cubtek Inc. with assistance from Rohde & Schwarz’s network analyzers (R&SZVA) are progressing the innovation of 4D imaging radar for RF measurement of the E-band utilizing the  R&SZVA-Zxxx millimeterwave converter. Employing the NXP’s S32R45 radar MPU and RFCMOS radar transceiver TEF82XX, the 4D imaging radar platform has enough bandwidth for 12 output and 16 input 77GHz antenna channels. With MMO technology, the virtual antennas can increase to 192.
