Microchip is aiming at automotive single-pair Ethernet links up to 40m long with a 7 x 7mm transceiver ICs called LAN8870B. Single-pair Ethernet is also being used in avionics, robotics and automation, it said. “For interoperability across industries, LAN887x PHYs are designed to be compliant with IEEE 802.3bp for the 1000BASE-T1 specification, and IEEE 802bw-2015 for the 100BASE-T1 specification*,” according ...

Cinch Connectivity Solutions has announced a 100Gbit/s optical transceiver, intended for tough environments including aerospace, industrial and military. H28-100G-SR4 has four transmit and four receive channels, each rated at 25.78Gbit/s. For ease of installation and replacement, the package has a square array of flat pads underneath and it mounts to a similar array on the associated PCB via a guide ...

Diodes has released a 2.5Gbit/s MIPI D-PHY 1.2 compliant signal repeater for high pixel-count cameras. PI2MEQX2503 regenerates and equalises two data lanes and a single clock. It “compensates for PCB, connector, cable and switching-related losses”, said the company, and “enables optimum electrical performance from a CSI2 source to a DSI sink”. Active, it consumes 120mW, then it has 5 and ...

Nordic Semiconductor has taken 5GHz radios out of its recent nRF7002 Wi-Fi 6 companion IC, to create the 2.4GHz-only nRF7001. “nRF7001 lowers the cost of the bill-of-materials for designs requiring single band capability for smart home, smart city, industrial automation and other low power Wi-Fi IoT applications”, it said. It “offers all the Wi-Fi functionality of the nRF7002, including compliance ...

Tokyo Institute of Technology has created a Sub-THz 6G transceiver, which will be revealed next week at the VLSI Symposium. Capable of transmission and reception at over 100GHz, and at 112Gbit/s, “by effectively suppressing the self-interference caused by the transmission signal leaking into the receiver, the proposed architecture reaches unprecedented data rates while maintaining a surprisingly compact size”, according to ...

Belgian lab Imec is claiming record ranging precision and power consumption for a novel 6 – 9GHz IEEE 802.15.4z UWB (ultra-wide-band) impulse-radio transceiver: 1.4mm ranging, and 8.7mW Tx plus 21mW Rx consumption in continuous mode. “It paves the way for a variety of automotive applications,” according to Imec. “One use-case includes the creation of radar-on-chip systems for in-cabin child presence ...

Following its acquisition of Steradian Semiconductors in August, Renesas entered the automotive radar market this week when it introduced a multi-channel 76 – 81GHz transceiver at Electronica. Designed for driver assistance and Level 3 (and higher) autonomous driving, the MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit) is aimed imaging radar, long-range forward radar and ‘4D’ radar, “but can also be used for ...

Filtronic has announced an E-band transceiver for carrier-grade 5G back-haul, mid-haul and front-haul, together known as xHaul. Called Morpheus X2 and designed to work at 71 – 76GHz and 81 – 86GHz, it offers +23dBm linear transmit power, 3dB higher than the company’s earlier Morpheus II product, from the same 90 x 80mm footprint. “This higher power level enables longer ...

Astronode S is an RF module from satellite operator Astrocast, intended to be built into land or sea-based battery-powered IoT devices. It is based on an architecture developed by French research lab CEA-Leti, and an IC co-developed with Astrocast to optimise its link budget and power consumption to suit a particular Astrocast’s ground-to-satellite protocol – which offers a variable user ...

CUI Devices has introduced ultrasonic transducers with ingress protection ratings of IP67 or IP68, operating up to 400kHz. There are 18 models, with beam angle spanning 7° to 80° and operational distance ranging from 30mm to 15m. “With combined transmit and receive functions in a single package, engineers can benefit from a simplified ultrasonic sensor solution for distance measurement, object ...
