ARM has launched the third generation of its coherent backplane technology which it says has been optimised for next generation intelligent connected systems, including 5G networks and industrial systems.Between them, the CoreLink CMN-600 coherent mesh network and DMC-620 dynamic memory controller are said to improve data throughput by a factor...

Research led by the University of Southampton claims that memristors could enable the development of implants that use electrical signals from the brain to help treat medical conditions.In a study published in Nature Communications, the researchers showed that memristors could provide real time processing of neuronal signals, leading to efficie...

e-peas, a start-up based in Liege, has announced the commercial availability of its first low power IC - the AEM10940. The chip looks to maximize the efficiency with which electronic hardware scavenges or draws energy from the ambient environment.Highly integrated the AEM10940 has a 94% power boost converter, along with voltage reference, energ...

Researchers from the Graphene Flagship have used layered materials to create all electrical quantum LEDs which can emit single photons. The devices are said to have the potential to act as on chip photon sources in quantum information applications.The LEDs are constructed of thin layers of different materials, stacked to form a heterostructure....

Arrow Electronics has confirmed a new distribution agreement with Novasom Industries, a global engineering company that develops advanced technology solutions for products and processes in the fields of embedded electronics. The agreement will cover the entire EMEA region.The agreement includes the NOVAsom family of single board computers based...

UltraSoC has expanded its SoC debug solution to include products based on the RISC-V instruction architecture (ISA), which is gaining in popularity as developers look to create open source processors.“We’re delighted to be able to support RISC-V and we’re committed to doing whatever we can to make it a success,” said Rup...

The Architects of Modern Power consortium has announced an additional standard aimed at establishing common mechanical and electrical specifications for the development of advanced power conversion technology for distributed power systems.Called gigaAMP, the standard addresses 60A devices supplied in an LGA footprint measuring 25.1 x 14.1mm. Th...

ARM has launched a real-time processor with advanced safety features and is targeting the device at autonomous vehicles and medical and industrial robots.The Cortex-R52 has been designed to address functional safety in systems that must comply with the stringent requirements of ISO 26262 ASIL D and IEC 61508 SIL 3. As such, the core is suited t...

Looking to build on the success of the Raspberry PI and similar formats, the Ultibo project hopes to make the power of single board computers available in a way that is said to be easy to learn.Ultibo says the approach is built around a model in which users can pick and choose what features they want to use in their projects. The installation i...
