MAX32666 with wireless connectivity extends battery life and shrinks size of coin cell-operated devices
Designers of wirelessly connected, coin cell-operated internet of things (IoT) products can now reduce bill-of-materials (BOM) costs by one-third while also saving space and battery life with the MAX32666 microcontroller (MCU) from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. This ultra-low-power dual Arm® Cortex®-M4 MCU with floating-point unit (FPU) and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.2 (BLE 5.2) extends the device's battery life by combining robust memory, security, communications, power management and processing functions traditionally performed by multiple MCUs into a single device.
Vector, leading manufacture of software tools and components for the development of electronic systems, and froglogic GmbH, which specializes in test automation of graphical user interfaces, have together developed a solution for testing GUI-based embedded systems. The objective is to offer an integrated toolchain to development and test engineers from a wide variety of industries. Software tools from both the classic GUI test as well as from the ECU test are combined here. Comprehensive quality assurance is thereby ensured in all development stages.
The MAXM86146, integrated with advanced algorithms, saves space and reduces development time by up to six months
Quickly and easily design sensors into places where they never used to fit with the thinnest optical sensor solution for wearable health and fitness products: the MAXM86146 dual-photodetector optical sensor solution from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.. The turnkey drop-in module includes built-in algorithms for heart-rate and oxygen-saturation (SpO2) monitoring, as well as advanced activity classification. Its small size and ease of design enable innovative biosensing features in less space and support the rapid development of accurate, continuous health-monitoring devices.
Vector is supplementing its ECU lineup by adding a controller for charging via pantographs. Developers of electric commercial vehicles such as buses will benefit from this solution for quick and efficient charging via an electrical collector which is available now. The generic controller, the VC-EVCC-P, supports roof-mounted pantographs as well as loading according to the OppCharge standard via inverted pantographs. Communication with an existing charging infrastructure is easily possible.
In addition to its LED driver/controller die, integrated in smart ISELED LED modules, Inova Semiconductors offers the driver chip as a standalone solution. The standalone ISELED driver is now available in volume production and is AEC-Q100 qualified.
MAX32670 saves 40 percent power and 50 percent space, includes ECC-protected memory for increased equipment uptime
Reduce power consumption and size while increasing reliability of industrial, healthcare and internet of things (IoT) applications with the MAX32670 low-power Arm® Cortex®-M4 microcontroller (MCU) with floating-point unit from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.. This device protects all embedded memory for both flash and SRAM with error-code correction (ECC) in order to provide the highest reliability MCU.
