US to take global lead on 5G spectrum
US telecoms commission, the FCC will decide next month (14 July) on which frequency bands in the radio spectrum will be used for 5G in the US. After considering spectrum population from low bands below 2.4GHz through mid-range Citizens Broadband Radio service in the 3.5GHz band it seems the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will go …
FTDI Chip adds to support for USB implementation
FTDI Chip has introduced two new board level products and a new IC to support engineers with comprehensive support when implementing USB into their embedded systems. The UMFTPD3A programmer module is designed specifically for use with the company’s development hardware and ICs containing either internal one-time programmable (OTP) memory or eFUSE logic (which are both …
Comment: Risks of buying off the internet
As purchases are increasingly made via the internet, never before has the packaging of electronic products and components, and their successful delivery through the supply chain, played such an important role in brand loyalty, writes Jean-Louis Evans of TÜV SÜD Product Service. As the delivery environment can be quite harsh, if a product or its packaging …
Enter the 1,000 core processor chip
KiloCore is a thousand core processor whose 621 million transistors execute 1.78 trillion instructions per second. Designed with an emphasis on low power operation by engineers at the University of California, the chip was fabricated by IBM on 32nm CMOS, and was revealed at the Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits in Honolulu. “To the best of …
ADI optical sensor for gesture recognition
ADI has announced an optical sensor for gesture recognition, which improves sensing accuracy and reliability by measuring a subject’s position, proximity, and gestures from a single sensor. Solutions requiring multiple sensors are often inaccurate, as the sensors “see” objects differently from varying angles making the signals difficult to combine. The single-point sensing used in the …
TI launches retimers
TI has introduced three retimers which enable an extended signal range over long traces, connectors and cables without degradation of signal integrity. These devices expand TI’s high-performance retimer portfolio, and support flexible, cost-optimized system design, enabling designers to speed their products to market while maintaining optimal performance. The retimers improve signal quality by removing jitter …
