Key Inflection Points Influencing Bluetooth Low Energy Sourcing Decisions
By Charles Dittmer - 04 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

Bluetooth 5.4, the latest specification from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), includes a number of enhancements that will open additional markets and use cases. This is one of several inflection points in the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) market that we will discuss in this blog. One thing I have learned over the course of my career in delivering multiple wireless products is that th... » read more

Brokerage System for Integration of LrWPAN Technologies
By Technical Paper Link - 01 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

New academic paper from UK's Leeds Beckett University. Abstract "The prevalent demand for remote data sharing and connectivity has catalysed the development of many wireless network technologies. However, low-power and low-rate wireless network technologies have emerged as the preferred choice (due to cheap procurement and maintenance cost, efficiency, and adaptability). Currently, these gr... » read more

Hybrid System-Level Test For RF SiP
By Koji Miyauchi - 08 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

In recent years, the proliferation of the IoT has focused attention on low-power-wireless applications. IoT modules incorporating functions such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transceivers, MCUs, and power-management circuitry are becoming system-in-package (SiP) and even one-chip devices. Such devices increase the demand for a mass-production test environment that can measure them in a short ti... » read more

Wireless Power Market Heats Up
By Bryon Moyer - 26 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 2

The wireless power market is in flux as established technologies meet newer approaches. Old standards battles have simmered somewhat, but competing messages remain. What the public ends up using will depend heavily on public charging infrastructure, but the stakes are significant. The market for battery chargers is forecast to reach $25B by 2022. Most of those chargers plug into the wall, bu... » read more

Bluetooth LE Audio Makes Its Debut

The Bluetooth Low Energy 5.2 specification introduces LE audio, which is a significant step forward for Bluetooth audio, both in terms of sounds quality and functionality. LE Audio, based on our new iEB110 IP, will enable manufacturers to create low power audio devices that offer several revolutionary new features that weren’t possible before, even with third-party proprietary solutions. T... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Susan Rambo - 31 Jan, 2020 - Comments: 0

AI/Edge Brewer Science is introducing its first material for permanent bond used in assembling ICs, image sensor devices, and MEMS for devices and packaging that “include low-temperature bonding, extreme chemical resistance, UV or thermal curable bonding process, and no material movement after cure,” according to a press release. The bond is part of the PermaSOL product family. “These hi... » read more

Big Growth Areas: Connectivity, AI, Reliability
By Brian Bailey - 14 Jan, 2020 - Comments: 0

Connectivity and artificial intelligence (AI) will be the biggest drivers for 2020, with an emphasis on improved reliability across all areas. New standards, new applications, and new pressures being placed on old technology will created boundless opportunities for those ready to fill the need. Of course, there will also be a lot of carnage along the way, and we can expect to see a lot of that ... » read more

The Power Of Integrating Bluetooth Low Energy Into SoCs
By Synopsys - 15 Jul, 2019 - Comments: 0

The Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) specification, released in 2011, enables designers of System-on-Chips (SoCs) to maximize the battery life of IoT devices and minimize the implementation costs of wireless sensors and other “connected things” by maximizing sleep time and simplifying Radio operation. Because it is built on the established ecosystem of Bluetooth Classic for mobile phones and P... » read more

Challenges At The Edge
By Kevin Fogarty - 03 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

By Kevin Fogarty and Ed Sperling Edge computing is inching toward the mainstream as the tech industry begins grappling with the fact that far too much data will be generated by sensors to send everything back to the cloud for processing. The initial idea behind the IoT/IIoT, as well as other connected devices, was that simple sensors would relay raw data to the cloud for processing throug... » read more

Where Is Energy Harvesting?
By Kevin Fogarty - 05 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

With power management a top priority in sensor networks, why is energy harvesting—a proven technology with diverse energy sources—conspicuously absent from sensor designs that are the foundation of the Internet of Things? [getkc id="165" kc_name="Energy harvesting"] always has been a promising answer to the limits of battery power. The idea that a device can run for much longer periods o... » read more
