Electronics related to the Internet of Things (IoT), and all its associated sensors, comms, security, and embedded systems.
Maxim has added a physically uncloneable function (PUF) to a 120MHz Arm Cortex-M4 microcontroller for financial and government-grade security, claiming it to be the first. “As IoT applications continue to proliferate, large numbers of devices are being deployed in uncontrolled and hostile areas that make them more vulnerable to physical attacks,” according to the firm. “Maxim’s PUF technology allows for ...
Hardware as well as software connections matter for IoT, writes Cliff Ortmeyer, Global Head of Technical Marketing, Farnell. Experts on the Internet of Things (IoT) believe that the planet-changing technology can only reach its full potential if it is based on wireless communications systems. Although a huge number of IoT nodes will certainly be battery-powered and connected wirelessly, there is still ...
Ross Murgatroyd, Senior Global Product Manager at Farnell considers the use of NFC in IoT use-cases where continuous connectivity is either impractical or unnecessary. The technologies behind the internet of things (IoT) is making the world around us more intelligent. In many implementations, the sensor nodes that are installed to relay data constantly to servers in the cloud will provide ...
STMicroelectronics is joining the Zigbee Alliance Board of Directors, to guide the evolution of the IoT-friendly wireless standard.
Queen’s University Belfast is aiming for cutting-edge research into Edge computing.
Residio, the maker of Honeywell Home branded products, has joined the Zigbee Alliance's Board of Directors.
Lattice has switched to 28nm FD-SOI (fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator) technology for a range of sram-based FPGAs intended for embedded vision and artificial intelligence processing in industrial, automotive and consumer systems. Although they are ram-based, and therefore need to boot from adjacent memory, the firm has found a way to get chip outputs enabled, set and stable within 3ms of power-up – allowing ...
Wireless support is now a necessity for many embedded applications as customers increasingly look to access the benefits of the Internet of Things (IoT), writes Ankur Tomar of Farnell
Intel has hired a financial company to find a buyer for its home connectivity group
A company that claims to be the fastest growing provider of Bluetooth wireless connectivity, Searan, has signed a global distribution deal with Mouser Electronics to supply its royalty-free software development kits (SDKs) for developers of consumer, medical and industrial applications. The SDKs support devices from semiconductor manufacturers, including STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments, Microchip Technology, Marvell Semiconductor and Renesas Electronics. The company’s ...
