Intelligence at the edge simplifies equipment reconfiguration and commissioning of sensors
Modern smart factories need to quickly and remotely adjust a sensor's electrical characteristics to minimize downtime and maximize throughput. The MAXREFDES177# IO-Link® reference design from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. demonstrates the flexibility of the MAX22515 IO-Link transceiver, seamlessly configuring all modes of the MAX22000 software-configurable analog IO. This chipset provides flexibility with faster reconfiguration to reduce factory downtime.
A leading provider in the testing sector, Vector has expanded its E-Mobility Testing Solution to include the new CANoe Test Package EV. This provides users with a toolchain for the automated conformance and interoperability testing of e-vehicles based on CANoe for the first time.
MAX78000 reduces energy consumption and latency by a factor of over 100 to enable complex embedded inference decisions at the IoT edge
The MAX78000 low-power neural network accelerated microcontroller from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. moves artificial intelligence (AI) to the edge without performance compromises in battery-powered internet of things (IoT) devices. Executing AI inferences at less that 1/100th the energy of software solutions dramatically improves run-time for battery-powered AI applications, while enabling complex new AI use cases previously considered impossible. These power improvements come with no compromise in latency or cost: the MAX78000 executes inferences 100x faster than software solutions running on low power microcontrollers, at a fraction of the cost of FPGA or GPU solutions.
Vector now offers vConnect, a new and omprehensive Over-The-Air solution. It contains a consistent and modular OTA framework, from back end to vehicle. The framework provides a solid basis for the development of own OTA applications. For getting started, the vConnect Evaluation Bundle is available. The user quickly gains practical experience with automotive OTA and benefits from a variety of individual application options.
MAX25205 provides swipe and hand-rotation sensing at 10× lower cost and up to 75 percent smaller size than time-of-flight camera-based systems
Designers of automotive systems can now add dynamic hand-gesture controls with greater ease at the industry's lowest cost and smallest size with the MAX25205 data acquisition system from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.. Featuring integrated optics and a 6×10 infrared (IR) sensor array, the MAX25205 detects swipe and hand-rotation gestures without the complexity of time-of-flight (ToF) cameras at 10× lower cost and up to 75 percent smaller size.
