LP Spread-Spectrum Sensors
By Ernest Worthman - 10 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

It is pretty much an accepted fact that the common denominator of the IoT will be intelligent sensors. Virtually everything and everyone will be “sensed.” These sensors will collect an immense amount of data, and that data will have to be funneled for analysis at some point. Much of this will occur in real time, but some of it can be stored and forwarded, or collected on demand. Tethered... » read more

Chips NXP rolled out what it claims are the most power-efficient microcontrollers for always-on applications. The minimum draw is 3 microamps for continuous sensor listening. Tools Mentor Graphics beefed up its CFD tool, adding thermo-fluid analysis simulation capabilities for automotive, aerospace and industrial applications. Included is support for FMI, an open-source environment that al... » read more

Design For Always-On
By Ann Mutschler - 06 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

Designing for low power is such an interesting area because, while it might be frustrating, one size — or approach, in this case — does not fit all. It is a balancing act to weigh the design objectives against what is possible in the process. NXP, which launched a series of low power MCUs today aimed at the sensor-processing market, has been focusing on optimizing power consumption f... » read more

Cadence's Brian Fuller zeroes in on ISO 26262, the automotive safety standard that's supposed to guard against nightmare failures in your car. Hopefully it works. They won't protect against cyber terrorism, though. Rambus' Aharon Etengoff takes a look at the challenges of connected vehicles. Mentor's J. Van Domelen looks at NASA's increased reliance on commercial partners, which has not b... » read more
