| Low Power MCUs Boast Advanced Performance and Security | STMicroelectronics (ST) has announced its STM32U5 series of MCUs designed for the demanding power/performance requirements for smart applications including wearables, personal medical devices, home automation and industrial sensors. The new STM32U5 series teams the efficient Arm Cortex-M33 core with ST’s proprietary power-saving features and on-chip IP cutting down energy demand while pumping up performance. | |
| New i.MX Applications Processors Eye Edge Designs | NXP Semiconductors has announced the expansion of its EdgeVerse portfolio with its crossover applications processors, including i.MX 8ULP (shown) and i.MX 8ULP-CS (cloud secured) Microsoft Azure Sphere-certified families, as well as next-generation i.MX 9 series of high performance intelligent applications processors. The expansion includes new innovations with EdgeLock secure enclave to enhance edge security and Energy Flex architecture to maximize energy efficiency. | |
| IAR Systems Adds Tool Support for 64-bit Arm Cores | IAR Systems has announced that its C/C++ development toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm now supports 64-bit Arm cores including Arm Cortex-A35, Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A55. The latest version of IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm delivers support for a number of different 64-bit processors, such as the NXP i.MX 8 series of application processors including the i.MX 8M, i.MX 8M Mini (shown) and i.MX 8M Nano products. | |
| Stringless Bass Guitar Uses PIC32 MCU | A stringless bass guitar isn’t something you’d likely see at your next rock concert. But these three Cornell students used a Microchip PIC32 MCU, together with several break-beam sensors, a distance sensor, a plank of wood and an algorithm for additive synthesis to create just that. | |
| R-Car V3H SoC Updated with Deep Learning for NCAP Needs | Renesas Electronics has introduced an update of its state-of the-art R-Car V3H system-on-chip (SoC) to deliver significantly improved deep learning performance for smart camera applications, including driver and occupant monitoring systems (DMS / OMS), automotive front cameras, surround view and auto parking for high-volume vehicles up to Level 2+. | |
Raspberry Pi CM4 carrier delivers isolated Modbus, 1-Wire, and CAN On Kickstarter: an open-spec, $120 “CM Hunter” carrier for the RPi CM4 with GbE, HDMI 2.0, 2x USB 2.0, micro-USB OTG, LCD, relay and isolated RS485/Modbus, 1-Wire and CAN. | | |
