Renesas has introduced the RZ/G2 Group of 64-bit Arm Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A53-based microprocessors (MPUs) for industrial automation and building automation applications. The four new RZ/G2 MPUs are supported by the Renesas RZ/G Linux Platform for industrial applications, bringing increased performance, reliability, security, and long-term software support to mission-critical applications as well as standard applications with high quality requirements. The RZ/G2 ...

Electronica: Camera is 1mm across for consumers

AMS-NanEyeM-industrial consumer-micro-camera

AMS is to create a camera 1mm across for space-constrained industrial and consumer designs, intending to add imaging to products such as smart toys and home appliances. Called NanEyeM, the business end is 1 x 1mm has a 100kpixel sensor with a 10bit digital readout. Inside is a multi-element lens, claimed to reduce distortion compared to similar cameras with a single-element ...

Tiny SiTime silicon MEMS resonator hits 5ppb accuracy for 5G infrastructure

Mems oscillator from has announced devices that can achieve 5ppb (parts/billion) frequency accuracy, and shun both thermal variation and vibration. The devices are based on 100ppb parts released two years ago and, despite now including an oven, measure 7 x 9 x 6.5mm. The firm is aiming frequency provision in 5G infrastructure, where many mini-basestations will be spread across the ...

Image compression technology to save power in the blink of an eye

Imagination-300x200.png

Image compression technology in the PowerVR PVRIC4 IP block enables random access, visually lossless image compression for bandwidth and memory savings for DTVs, smartphones and tablets, says Imagination Technologies. Claimed to halve memory bandwidth and footprint, the IP block targets SoC development for consumer applications to meet the needs of the higher resolution demanded by 4K and 8K displays, as ...

Platform-independent neural net for self-learning microcontrollers processing sensor data

Fraunhofer-neural-network-Alfes

German research organisation Fraunhofer IMS has developed a platform-independentl feed-forward artificial neural network, written in C. “By using standard libraries based on the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and a source code reduced to a minimum, even integration including learning algorithms on a microcontroller is possible,” said the organisation. “The artificial neural network is superficially not focused towards big-data processing, but ...
