Murata has started mass production of its MRMS166R and MRMS168R anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) sensors for healthcare, wearable, and IoT devices. The MRMS166R is the first AMR sensor to combine an average current consumption of 20 nA with operation from a 1.2 V supply, enabling extended battery life in coin cell-powered systems. The devices are solid-state magnetic sensors used for switching ...
Nanoz, the French specialist in miniaturised and intelligent gas sensors, is partnering with Sheffield University, Indiana University and the CNRS laboratory in Marseille to help detect diabetes and other diseases through breath analysis. Using AI and sensors no larger than 2mm, the company is developing technology that promises early, non-invasive diagnostics, with potential implications for health systems across the UK. ...
Microelectronics US, which will be held in Austin, Texas on 22 and 23 April, is different to other events, says Assistant Professor Ariful Haque on the latest CHIIPs podcast. Based at the Texas State University Electrical Engineering department, Haque has been involved with planning panel discussions and focused session taking place during the two-day event. “It’s not about a regular ...
The GPX10 Pro SoC has 10 programmable AI cores for a custom instruction set and is based on Ambient Scientific’s proprietarty DigAn architecture and MAC circuit design. The chip’s AI engine supports a variety of neural networking model types, including CNNs, RNNs, LSTMs and GRUs, locally at the edge. According to Ambient Scientific, the SoC offers up to 100x improvements ...
UK government agencies are announcing their intention to work together to support in-space manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. This is in terms of regulatory clarity and official support. It sees potential in developing the UK’s role in space-enabled manufacturing via a well-defined pathway. And such In-Orbit Manufacturing (IOM) is also one subset of the wider In-Orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM) market. ...
Finnish company Enedo Power has turned to GaN transistors to put a 1,200W ac-dc power supply into a 41 x 107 x 206mm (900cm3) volume. Called HDP1200, they run from 85 – 305Vac (de-rated to 1kW below 137Vac) and produce 24V or 48V depending on type, plus a 5V 1.5A stand-by output. Efficiency is up to 95.5%, and a fan ...
The Nebula AI series of touchscreen displays by Glory Star is now available from Crystal Display Systesm (CDS). Three sizes are offered – 10.1, 15.6 and 21.5-inch. They are powered by quad-core Cortex-A72/Cortex-A53 CPUs for multi-tasking and inference applications and have an integrated 6TOPS neural processing unit (NPU) for AI operations such as facial recognition, object tracking, text-to-speech and posture ...
Upon receipt of $6m in Chips Act funding, Oregon-based Rogue Valley Microdevices looked out-of-state to open its second facility. It will soon be opening the 50,000 sq ft facility in Palm Bay, Florida, expected to be the first 300mm-capable pureplay MEMS foundry in the US. “We tried for quite a few years to expand in Oregon,” said co-founder and CEO ...
Mouser is now shipping the AMD’s Spartan UltraScale+ FPGAs, based on the company’s UltraScale architecture for high I/O, low power applications. The FPGAs enable I/O expansion, sensor processing and control, and board management and are suitable for devices and sensors connected at the edge, including industrial automation, networking, robotics, wireless applications and industrial IoT. They are also suitable for data ...
Design, technology and development specialist AND Technology Research (ANDtr) has introduced an embedded electronics-based accelerator programme. The Embedded Accelerator is designed to help UK electronics designers and innovators to scale effectively and refine prototypes and attract investors. The 12-week programme will support up to 10 startups with a cost-effective way to build a physical prototype as well as mentoring support. ...
