| | | 12-Channel RGB-LED Driver Targets Wearables |
| STMicroelectronics’ LED1202 12-channel LED driver enables smoother and more natural interactions with smart-home devices, wearable electronics and small appliances. It provides patented features to prevent distracting artefacts in “color-chasing” or “deep breathing” LED animation effects. |
|
| | | Sensor Innovations Span a Wide Range of Solutions |
| Responding to demands for high-performance and integrated solutions, sensor manufacturers continue to up their game. And as IoT and intelligent edge applications proliferate, sensors are moving to smaller, low-power designs to meet the new requirements of those systems. |
