Inova Semiconductors is proposing a 30Gbit/s bi-directional bus for vehicles, that will carry multiple separated data streams. Branded ADXpress, for ‘automotive data express’, “all raw sensor data can be transmitted via sensor-specific virtual data paths with deterministic latency to one or more evaluation units”, claimed the company. “The sensors can be connected to an ADXpress node via PCI Express, Ethernet ...

The delight of seeing colleagues ‘in real life’ once again is combined with the hands-on experience of one of the world’s largest shows at electronica 2022 (15 to 18 November). Caroline Hayes looks ahead to some of the announcements and experiences visitors can expect in Munich. The vast halls of the showground lend themselves to stands filled with interactive demos. ...

NGK Insulators, Ltd. (NGK) will exhibit at electronica 2022 at Hall B.430 under the theme of “Making smart society more comfortable by contributing to digital society with ceramic technology.” The company is expecting to discuss further collaboration opportunities with engineers and partners. NGK will show demonstrations of IoT device power supply, EnerCera® and unique ceramic technologies such as gallium nitride ...

Infineon will be revealing two internet-connected sensor evaluation kits at the Electronica exhibition in Munich, one for 60GHz radar and one for CO2 sensing. The company has made the sensor board part of these kits compatible with AdaFruit’s ‘Wing’ format which plugs into processor boards with AdaFruit’s ‘Feather’ pin layout. Infineon has adopted the Wing format for a planned series ...

At Electronica, Grenoble-based Teledyne e2v revealed a 12bit 11Gsample/s ADC proof-of-concept “able to deliver performance parameters that are beyond the scope of anything currently on the market”, it claimed, “It can achieve SHF [super-high frequency] direct sampling, reaching all the way into the Ka frequency band. Called EV12PS640, it was demonstrated alongside the recently announced EV12DD700 12bit 12GSample/s (26GHz bandwidth) dual channel DAC. ...

The Electronica CEO Round Table took place this morning with, traditionally, the CEOs of Europe’s Big Three chip companies – Infineon, ST and NXP. Making up a four was Gunther Kegel, CEO of Pepperl and Fuchs. It soon became clear that the CEOs picked up on the infection early on from their Chinese operations and acted quickly to put in ...

Teledyne e2v is offering beta samples of its 12Gsample/s 12bit (or 8bit) EV12DD700 dual-channel DAC. “What sets it apart from other DACs is that it is first on the market to support operation within the 26GHz upwards Ka-band,” claimed the company. “Numerous features have been incorporated, such as DDS [direct digital synthesis], plus digital up-conversion via a built-in 32bit NCO ...

Tomorrow, at the virtual Electronica, Infineon will be focusing on sensors with an emphasis on smart buildings and consumer life. Products and application examples will be digitally presented and explained in detail, including presentations, e-learnings, infographics, videos, 360° views and useful downloads. After the live program ends on 12 November, all information on the sensor highlights will be available on ...

Maxim has announced a suite of integrated circuits and reference designs for industrial automation using IO-Link communications. IO-Link is a short-range (<20m) point-to-point industrial bus developed to connect sensors and actuators to a local hub, from which the data is transferred to a remote PLC (programmable logic controller) via Ethernet or other long-range field bus. “The IO-Link interface allows every ...

Maxim is measuring blood oxygen, ECG, heart rate, body temperature and activity data in its third generation of wearable health monitor reference design, this time entirely wrist-worn. Called Health Sensor Platform 3.0 (aka MAXREFDES104#), it comes in a ready-to-wear wrist form with algorithms to provide heart rate, heart-rate variability (HRV), respiration rate (RR), SpO2 , body temperature, sleep quality and ...
