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 […]
Introduction Power electronics play a crucial role in modern electrical engineering, essential for efficiently converting, controlling, and managing electrical power within circuits. These components are designed to handle high voltages, currents, powers, and temperatures, making them vital for various industries. Within power electronics, components are broadly categorized into passive components, such as power resistors, diodes, […]
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 […]
“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 has two advantages,” according to the company. “The sensing head can fit into confined spaces, and the electronics can be located in a position where they are protected from physical damage, dust, dirt, moisture and electromagnetic forces.” Dubbed SGR530 and SGR540 series, the sensors have a four element strain gauge bridge on the drive […]
April 15, 2024 — onsemi recently launched the CEM102, a state-of-the-art miniaturized analog front-end (AFE) that enables electrochemical sensing with highest accuracy at very low currents. With its small form factor and the industry’s lowest power consumption, it allows engineers to create versatile and compact solutions for industrial, environmental and healthcare applications such as air […]
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 […]
Machine learning is implemented at the edge of the network, explained Mouser’s Mark Patrick in order to make decisions very quickly at the [network] edge. [Edge Impulse’s] products are designed to enable engineers to build and deploy ML applications very simply and quickly. The tools are hardware-agnostic continued Patrick, to support any target platforms available […]
“Embedded AI is becoming increasingly important for safety-critical real-time applications,” said Infineon. “However, this also creates new requirements and standards that must be considered during the complete product lifecycle.” The TC4x family includes ‘PPU’ (parallel processing unit), an AI-accelerator intended to be ASIL-D compliant and aimed at motor control, battery management, vehicle motion control and […]
