Embedded World 2025: Synopsys says its Virtualizer Native Execution prototyping tool will accelerate software development for edge devices. It extends the Virtualizer tool suite and model libraries to Arm hardware, allowing virtual prototypes to be built, executed and tested directly on Arm-based machines. The Native Element factor in the new tool means that users can execute virtual prototypes directly on ...

Embedded World: Adapter board sets the stage for LED design
Embedded World 2025: LED design is highlighted by Rutronik with its RAB5 adapter board. It features ams Osram Osire LEDs which are designed for dynamic, ambient lighting. LEDs are customisable to meet specific applications, using the manufacturer’s graphic user interface (GUI). LEDs are individually addressable chips for colour and driver selection. The LEDs can be used for interior and ambient ...
Embedded World: Crypto Quantique demo-es software PQC system
Crypto Quantique is demonstrating the QuarkLink Hybrid PQC security platform at Embedded World 2025 on booth 5-171. The company is also showing its latest analogue and digital silicon IP offerings for device security. QuarkLink is an integrated, scalable, cloud-based software platform that claims to reduce the time and expense of implementing all necessary security functions in embedded device IoT networks ...
Embedded World: 15Top/s 10Top/s/W MCU for AI inferencing
Renesas is aiming at the high-volume vision AI market with a 15Top/s 10Top/s/W microcontroller. Called RZ/V2N, it comes with the company’s own AI accelerator, DRP-AI3. The 15Top/s (INT8) claim comes from sparse networks through the accelerator’s “advanced pruning technology”, said the company. On dense networks it can only hit 4Top/s, and its Resnet50 score is 769 inference/s. The main CPU ...
Embedded World: On board 56Gbit/s optical links
At Embedded World today, Samtec announced mid-board optical transceivers for embedded and rugged applications, including phased array radar and medical imaging. ‘Mid-board’ describes optical links that replace PCB tracks for very high speed signals. The new transceivers, branded Halo-C, are aimed at PAM4 modulated 56Gbit/s (112Gbit/s in development) per lane links with 16 channels (eight bidirectional). Read all the latest news from Embedded ...
Embedded World: Area time-of-flight sensor scans the world in 3D
Onsemi has released 1.2Mpixel time-of-flight (iToF) matrix sensors for 3D imaging fast-moving objects. “By using proprietary global shutter pixel architecture and on-board storage, the Hyperlux ID family can capture an entire scene and simultaneously process depth measurement in real-time,” according to the company. “This approach enables depth sensing up to 30 meters. Additionally, the sensor family is capable of producing ...
Embedded World: Infineon adds Nvidia Tao models to MCUs
Infineon is now supporting Nvidia Tao AI models on its Psoc Edge microcontrollers, which combine Arm Cortex-M55 CPUs with Arm Ethos-U55 NPU. “The combination of these microcontrollers with Tao models and a fine-tuning toolkit greatly simplifies the creation, customisation, optimisation and deployment of high accuracy vision AI models,” claimed Infineon. “The integration of Nvidia Tao features will become available for ...
Embedded World: PIC32 with high-end analogue
Microchip has added high-performance analogue blocks to its PIC32 MCUs: 12bit 40Msample/s ADCs, 5ns comparators and 100MHz GBW (gain.bandwidth) op-amps. There are implemented in in the new 32bit 200MHz PIC32A family. On top of the analogue blocks are hardware safety and security features such as ECC (error code correction) on flash and ram, built-in memory self-test, IO integrity monitoring, clock ...
Embedded World: AI MCU gets Cortex-M55 core and Ethos-U55 NPU
Synaptics announced an AI MCU at Embedded World today, based around Arm’s Ethos-U55 NPU (neural processing unit) and Cortex-M55 CPU, plus a low-power Cortex-M4 CPU and Synaptic’s in-house mini-NPU. “SR110 dynamically adjusts its compute power based on real-time system demands,” according to the company. “This context-aware computing enables ultra-low-power operation while maintaining high-performance AI capabilities when needed.” There are three ...
Embedded World: Profinet IRT and ProfiDrive stack for Renesas MCUs
Aiming at industrial networking, Renesas introduced a Profinet-certified IRT (isochronous real-time) and Profidrive software stack for some of its RZmicroprocessors today at Embedded World in Nuremberg. Initially, the stack is for the RZ/T2M servo motor control MCU and the RZ/N2L industrial internet gateway MCU. Binary versions are available for evaluation, and licenses for commercial come directly from Renesas. Read all ...
