Image source: Ambiq Key Takeaways about Battery Powered AI devices: Battery-powered devices are adopting artificial intelligence (AI) for improved performance. AI devices operating at the edge must be power-stingy. Devices that exploit this trend will come with varied subsystems and capabilities, but all must include comprehensive security features. As technology progresses, the imperative to integrate AI into battery-powered […]
It is based on ‘Gaussian mixture models’ – GMMs. “Neural networks are powerful but have a major drawback: handling unseen data, like defects in a product during manufacturing, is a challenge due to their reliance on existing training data. Entirely novel inputs often get misclassified into existing categories,” according to the company. “Companies cannot collect […]
Q1 free cash was $134 million after Net Capex of $967 million For Q2, net revenues of $3.2 billion and gross margin of 40% are expected. For the full year, revenues of $14-15 billion are expected, down from a previous expectation of $15.9 billion to $16.9 billion. “Q1 net revenues and gross margin both came […]
April 23, 2024 — Silicon Labs recently announced their new xG22E family of Wireless SoCs, Silicon Labs’ first-ever family designed to operate within the ultra-low power envelope required for battery-free, energy harvesting applications. The new family consists of the BG22E, MG22E, and FG22E. As Silicon Labs’ most energy-efficient SoCs to date, all three SoCs will enable IoT device makers to build […]
“As Silicon Labs’ most energy-efficient SoCs to date, all three will enable IoT device makers to build wireless devices for battery-optimised and battery-free devices that can harvest energy from external sources in their environments like indoor or outdoor ambient light, ambient radio waves, and kinetic motion,” said the company. Each has an Arm Cortex-M33 application […]
“The gate driver IC offers functional safety according to ISO 26262 ASIL B,” according to Infineon. “It has a range of protection functions such as timeout-watchdog, drain-source monitoring, over-voltage, under-voltage, cross-current and over-temperature protection, as well as off-state diagnostics.” Called TLE9140, it can operate with supplies across 8V to 60V, or up to 75V with […]
This module acts as a fully functioning Bluetooth® LE and Wi-Fi radio node, capable of a long autonomous operation on battery power. It can form the core of an autonomous IOT device requiring Bluetooth LE and Wi-Fi connectivity. The device uses Insight SiP’s proprietary “Antenna-in-Package” techniques. The module is based on NXP’s RW612single-chip Wi-Fi/BLE/802.15.4 Wireless […]
It enables small module designs with reduced component count for improved safety and electrification: high voltage interlocks, charging flaps, seatbelts, hood/trunk, gear tooth sensing, or brake-by-wire applications. For traditional safety automotive latches and switches, ranging from door and boot/trunk handles to seatbelts and brake light switches, the standard design uses a mechanical contact or […]
Entrants must use NXP’s new FRDM development boards, featuring its MCX N and MCX A series MCUs, to submit design ideas and projects for a chance to win a variety of prizes. These include a grand prize package of a 14-inch MacBook Pro, an Apple Watch Series 9 and AirPods Pro. The second prize is […]
