With recent industry-wide component shortages wreaking havoc on electronics production worldwide, many companies in the embedded space turned to the use of SOMs, or system-on-modules rather than continue sourcing individual components for their products.

NXP’s NHS52Sx4 family of ultra-low-power MCUs is aimed squarely at battery powered, miniaturized wearable medical devices thanks to its high level of integration and versatile battery support.

Smartphones have become ubiquitous, in everyone’s pocket, purse, and backpack, displacing many other household items. We rely on them for everything from email, banking, unlocking our front door, and even making the occasional phone call. Yet a quick glance around our homes and businesses will quickly reveal two things smartphones have yet to displace- buttons and a seven-segment display.

During Computex 2023, Variscite displayed a working VAR-SOM-MX91 as NXP was announcing the i.MX 91 SoC. The SoC features an Arm Cortex-A55 running at 1.4GHz, and supports 2GB LPDDR4 memory, dual Gigabit Ethernet, dual USB, dual CAN-FD, audio in/out, ADC, certified single or dual-band Wi-Fi, BT/BLE. Also included is a display output with integrated EdgeLock Secure Enclave and industrial temperature grade for embedded applications such as IoT, smart home, connected sensors, industrial controllers, and metering.

During the keynote address, "Shaping Ecosystems to Master Complexity," at Computex 2023, NXP Executive Vice President Rafael Sotomayor highlighted the innovations Qbic technology has brought to the NXP ecosystem.

AUSTIN, TEXAS. SigmaSense recently announced a license and co-development agreement with NXP® Semiconductors intended to help the transition from traditional touch interfaces to multi-dimensional sensing. SigmaSense and NXP will be collaborating on high-performance sensing devices for use in applications that require robust, fast, immersive software-defined experiences.
