Supergate Showcases its New Deep-Learning Microcontroller

The Supergate Deep-Learning Microcontroller (DMC) is using AiM Future’s NeuroMosAIc Processor IP. The system was demonstrated at the Embedded Vision Summit.

The ultra-low power solution for object detection in consumer electronics. The company is saying the DMC is ideal for a number of solutions and applications, including home consumer electronics, robotics, smart toys, and the artificial intelligence of things (AIoT).

IAR Offers New Security Solution With Embedded Secure IP

The new security solution from IAR allows embedded developers more choices while making adding security easier at late-stage development.

The IAR Embedded Secure IP allows many stakeholders, like software managers, engineers, and project managers to quickly upgrade existing products with security at any stage of development, up to production and manufacturing.

Renesas is Sampling 22nm MCU, has Higher Performance and Low Power

In a move to reach state-of-the-art process technology, Renesas has developed a 22nm microcontroller (MCU) and are saying it is the only one of its kind.

The company is providing customers with a lower power consumption while offering higher performance. The lower power comes from reduced core voltages. The advanced process technology also allows for richer feature sets, which include functions like RF. The die area is reduced because of the reduction in size due to the advanced process node.

Short Supply of Automotive High-End MCU, Still?

Circuit Cellar Fans, Research, and Market (researchandmarkets.com) has put out a report that automotive MCUs are still in short supply.

Meaning demand is high, and supplies are slow to arrive. This delays new car manufacture and slows the industry in general.

Although reports are certain the big panic over shortages is over, tight supplies still exist.

This is especially true of the 32-bit Microcontrollers at the high end of the spectrum. Many large manufacturers of MCU, although IDMs, still like a foundry model to MCU production.

NXP still likes to, as an example, outsource their 90nm and above products, including the i.MXRT1170. In the foundry arena, TSMC still manufactures 70% of all automotive MCU products. But even with expansion these areas of manufacture

still remain tight, with little daylight filtering through to see an increase in production capacity any time soon. Automotive EVs are being produced at a high rate of speed. Will China push its way in and take up the backlog? It is to be seen.

Keep an eye on this space for more.
