Seeed Studio has released the Wio Terminal. Compatible with Arduino and MicroPython, Wio Terminal is an ATSAMD51-based microcontroller with wireless connectivity supported by Realtek RTL8720DN. According to the company, its CPU speed runs at 120MHz (Boost up to 200MHz).

The trend in automotive towards electrification of every aspect of today?s vehicles places extreme demands on DC/DC converters to provide stable power over a wide temperature range, and to deliver high reliability and energy efficiency, within tight space constraints - such as the electronic control unit (ECU). A new generation of power inductors delivers superior characteristics to meet these demands.

Different parts of the country and the world have been hit in different ways by the COVID-19 pandemic. In our Special Edition of the Embedded Executive podcasts, we are trying to understand how different groups are dealing with the issue, strictly from a work/engineering perspective. In this interview, I spoke with Thomas Fowler, Vice President of Central Engineering at Silicon Labs. Thomas is based in Austin, TX.

AAEON announced it is releasing four new rugged embedded platforms that will be powered by the NVIDIA? Jetson? platform.

As I?m writing this, we are still stuck in the middle of the COVID-19 crisis in the U.S. and frankly, depending on which ?expert? you believe, we could be back to normal in anywhere from a month or two to many, many months. Here in Texas, where WINSYSTEMS is headquartered, they just announced that schools are shutdown at least until the end of the school year and graduations are being rescheduled for June or July. But honestly, no one knows for sure when things will return to some semblance of business as usual.

A single rogue wave can kill a power distribution network (PDN) in high-speed digital design. Optimize your PDN to achieve a target impedance, while avoiding high Q resonances that can cause rogue waves. Learn how from the application note ?Optimize Power Distribution Networks for Flat Impedance?.

Machine learning (ML) algorithms are moving processing to the IoT device due to challenges with latency, power consumption, cost, network, bandwidth, reliability, security, and more.

For the rapidly expanding Internet of Things, ?Think Local, Act Global? is a guiding principle. Traditionally, decision making has been concentrated in the cloud, at the center, moving all the data and intelligence inwards. This places huge strain on the technical and commercial model of the network.

Today, many varieties of intelligent applications are implemented on cloud platforms which help enterprises improve productivity and flexibility. Many Small and Mid-size Enterprises (SME) have chosen to use public clouds out of cost considerations.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the critical technology that will enable next-generation IoT systems across every application and industry. Having to program these systems manually limits their flexibility as well as slows the rate at which innovation can be deployed.

Read this white paper to learn about some of the new technology driving wireless capability, device options you will see on the market, and a take on what?s important in a datasheet.
