Innovasic is launching a Time Switching Network (TSN) Evaluation Kit based on its fido5000 REM Switch technology.“REM switch technology is an Ethernet switch,” explained Tom Weingartner, Innovasic’s vice president of marketing. “It is used in the industrial market space to provide a level of determinism that TSN is tryin...

Everspin Technologies’ ST-MRAM technology will be available as an embedded memory through Globalfoundries. In a joint announcement, the companies said they are also preparing for volume production of standalone ST-MRAM memory for storage class applications.“Our ongoing relationship with Globalfoundries has enabled this next step in...

Globalfoundries plans to deliver a 7nm FinFET semiconductor process that it says will offer the ultimate in performance for the next era of computing applications. The move will require an ‘multi-billion dollar investment’ in Fab 8 in Malta, New York, to enable 7nm FinFET development and production.According to the company, the proc...

Embedded and mobile software development specialist Adeneo has renamed itself Witekio to highlight that it has changed its focus to system software integration.CEO Yannick Chammings, pictured, said: “Development of embedded devices requires more skills, but it’s not just a question of technical expertise; there is also the need for...

Described as dual-band wireless MCU with the lowest power consumption, the SimpleLink CC1350 from Texas Instruments supports sub GHz and Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity.Part of TI’s SimpleLink platform, the CC1350 wireless MCU is said to allow developers to move from a three chip solution to a single chip, while reducing design complexi...

A narrowband radio providing reliable and secure data transmission over long distances has been launched by Cambium Networks. Aimed at Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications, the radio – called cnReach – is said to allow operators to manage their IIoT network deployments effectively.Bruce Collins, product manager, said: &...

As the Internet of Things develops, security is becoming increasingly important, particularly for so called edge devices. Typically, these have been MCU based and vulnerable to attacks.Looking to address the problem, Synopsys has launched the DesignWare ARC SEM110 and SEM120D security processors, said by the company to protect systems against s...

The UK’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has developed a new, non-destructive, method of measuring the three dimensional orientation of molecules in an organic semiconductor transistor, using Raman spectroscopy. This technique will help to create a new, faster and more flexible method of measuring the efficiency of electrical conductivity...

A team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has discovered a double helix structure in an inorganic material. The material, called SnIP, comprising tin, iodine and phosphorus, is a semiconductor said to possess extraordinary optical and electronic properties and, unlike conventional inorganic semiconducting materials, it is highly flexible...

Evince Technology, which is developing technologies to enable the manufacture of electronics based on synthetic diamond, has closed its largest funding round to date.According to the company, it has raised £750,240 from business angels and other private investors. The money, along with a £230,000 award from Innovate UK, will be used...
