With IoT and embedded system technology gaining momentum with time, it is necessary for the microcontrollers and other devices to be energy efficient and consume low power. This ensures the optimum performance of the applications and effectively aids in reducing the size of the end products, as it would require smaller powering units. Hence, low power MCUs like the KL3x series prove to be of immense help in developing sophisticated applications with high precision.   

MicroEJ announced their collaboration with NXP Semiconductors to offer a dedicated MICROEJ VEE on-device platform based on NXP’s i.MX RT500 MCU focusing on ultra-low-power, security, and user interfaces.

In this episode of the Embedded Insiders, Brandon and Rich discuss Silicon Laboratories recent divestiture of its infrastructure and automotive business units to SkyWorks Solutions. The sale includes the company’s power, isolation, broadcast, timing, and other products and IP. Silicon Labs CEO Tyson Tuttle said several years ago that the company is “all-in” on IoT, and this move appears to be him keeping his word. But was it the best move?

ADLINK announced a partnership with Altium to offer an automated SMARC carrier design process.

Embedded Cortex®-A72 module based on LX2160A with enhanced data and networking performance.

Creating a meaningful and relevant user experience (UX) for IoT devices is much harder than building a SaaS application, website, or smartphone app. Your design must account for software and hardware features, and run on platforms with less resources and tighter power constraints than the average cloud or web app.

Advantech announced it is launching its Advantech Industrial Wireless (AIW) solutions at the Advantech Connect event in partnership with ecosystem members Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., NXP, DEKRA, and E Ink.
